LIKE BOOKS EVERYONE HAS A STORY

JUDGING  BOOKS BY THEIR COVERS

Originally Published in Western Outdoor News the Week of June 20, 2025

We come across a lot of folks down here while doing business with our fishing fleet and restaurant here in La Paz.  With some 30 years, we’ve had up to 1000 clients in a single season.  That doesn’t include our restaurant.

Over that time, we sure have met a lot of wonderful, interesting, superlative folks.  Many have become good friends over the years and even generations into several generations of some families.

But, like any business that comes in contact with the public, you cannot help but develop generalizations and stereotypes about folks.  It doesn’t matter if you’re a shopkeeper, taxi driver or Fortune 500 CEO.

You start to form a mental visualization based on the way people talk on the phone.  The way they write their e-mails.  Their formal signature on their correspondence.  How they dress or look or speak when they finally show up down here. 

Making assumptions, as you may well know, can be fun.  It can be entertaining.  It can also be awkward or even perilous in the right context.

For instance, there’s a popular tiki bar on the beach at one of the hotels we work with. Some guys were drinking at the bar just having normal conversation with each other.  I could tell 2 were English.  Two were Americans.

Another patron started acting up.  Obviously drunk and acting king of the hill and bullet proof.  He was bothering everyone.

One of the guys at the bar politely asked him if he would tone it down.

Instead the drunk guy went off.  Started pushing the the guy who had asked him to be quiet.  In fact, started cussing out all 4 of them.

He took a swing and that was the last thing he probably remembered.

Never saw the nice guy move so fast.  One move.  Put the drunk guy down. Flat on his face out. The other patrons gasped.

The other guy sat down with his buddies  and just kept drinking their beers and laughing. No big thing. 

Found out later, the two Americans were Army rangers.  The two Brits were SAS special forces including the one guy  that laid out the drunk.

Another example…I had a big group of Chinese guests.  Some were from California. A number were friends from Hong Kong/ Taiwan.

One of them was incredibly good looking.  Tall.  Perfect features. Very fit.  I was told he was a famous movie star and singer back in his country.  He had THOSE kind of good looks. A charmer also.

His brother…not so good looking.  Short, squat, curly hair.  Weird Asian mustache.  But funny as heck.  Great personality.

We would go walking down the street with the group and people would stop us and wanted to take photos with the shorter brother.  Found out later he was a famous porn star in China! 

Never would have guessed. He must have had a lot more going for him than a great personality!

I met another guy who used to be a Chip ‘N’ Dales dancer. (40 years before I met him!).  He saved up his money and started a chain of express car lube places and cashed out a millionaire.

On another occasion there was a really unassuming guy at our bar.  Just a nice guy. 

We started talking music.  I told him that I play guitar in our house band in our restaurant.  He said he played a little too. 

I said, wow…if you want to come jam with us, he was welcome.  I asked if he had played in bars or backyards before like me.  He said, “No, I drum for this group called “The Doobie Brothers.”

Uh yea…duh! He later invited us to LA to watch them record! And I did take him fishing!

Speaking of music, we had a big crowd in our bar one night with the band playing on the top floor and people dancing.  One of our waiters said there was a guy on the 2nd floor who had a trumpet.

I walked over to him and told him if he wanted to jump in with the band, he was welcome. 

“Are you sure it’s OK,?” he asked.   No problem, man.  Go for it.

Well, over the next hour he had our whole place jumping.  He was great!  He had the upstairs and downstairs all hopping and dancing. 

During a break he came back to his seat. 

I gushed and told him how great he was and offered to pay for his dinner and drinks.  I told him that with his awesome  talent, he could walk into any bar in La Paz and always get free food and drinks.

He laughed and said, “Thank you. You really think I’m good?”

 HECK YA MISTER!

He played one more set with the band then he just disappeared.  Walked out.  Never saw him leave.  He just kinda snuck out from the crowd! 

I was really disappointed, but one of our waiters said he left his card.

I took his card which only had his name and a phone number.  I went on social media hoping to maybe find this guy and thank him.

Well…yea I found him. Duh…

He was a famous stage and sessions musician and had played with people like the Rolling Stones, Muscle Shoals, Billy Preston and a bunch of others and had 3 grammy awards!

I’m the one who got played for sure.  Yes, he was “good enough!”

Just this week, we had a first-timer from Texas come fishing with us. 

The day before he arrived, he sent me an e-mail. It was all in capital letters!  Almost like shouting.  It was about his food .

He said for his breakfast and lunches on the boats, absolutely “NO MEAT THAT HAD FEATHERS ON IT.  NO TURKEY.  NO CHICKEN.  PLUS NO MAYO OR MUSTARD.  COMPLETELY DRY FOOD!”

Well, that caused us to roll our eyes a bit.

We get specialty food requests often.  No gluten.  No nuts. Only eggs.  No onions.  Eggs, but no chicken. Kosher. Etc. etc.

This guy was MORE THAN adamant.

I had never met him until he showed up.  Was he allergic?  Was he on a fad diet?  Was he just picky?

Well, he turned out to be a good old southern boy.  Genuine nice guy.  My initial impression was that he was just a picky fussy eater.

So, I asked him about it.  He quietly told me…

“I grew up in rural Alabama.  We had no electricity.  We had no running water.  We had to hand pump for our water.  I never had a pair of shoes until I was in 1st grade.”

We had chickens.  Lots of them.  Our outhouse was in the chicken yard. 

Every time…day or night…when I had to go to the outhouse, I had to walk barefooted through all that years of chicken crap. In my toes and stuck to my feet.”

“I swore I would never eat anything again for as long as I lived with feathers.”

That put a whole different spin on things.  Mad respect for this gentleman.

You just can never tell about folks.  There’s a story behind every first impression.

That’s my story!

IS WILLY INVITING ME TO PLAY OR INVITING ME TO “DINNER?”

IS WILLY OK WITH THIS?

Originally Published the Week of June 15, 2025 in Western Outdoor Publications

Down here in La Paz where we’ve run our fishing operation for some 30 years now.  There’s a fishing area that’s really popular. And it can have some spectacular fishing.

It’s the area between Punta Arenas and Cerralvo Island.  It’s known for big fish…lots of fish…specifically at times of the year it’s famous for roosterfish.

Back-in-the-day, there would be us and maybe another fleet or three or four.  At most, maybe 10 pangas fishing the whole area. 

It often felt like the whole Sea of Cortez was yours. 

Over the years, it has grown tremendously in popularity.

Especially during this time of year, there can be dozens of pangas on the water.  Everyone still does well, but sigh…it does make one long for the “good old days.”

There’s room on the ocean for everyone, I guess.

The only ones we’ve really come to hate is when Mexican or Asian commercial fishing vessels have intruded into the area and “harvested.” 

One wrap…two wraps of giant nets and the ocean goes empty.  Laying long lines  across the ocean and so many indiscriminate species are killed.

Well, that subject is for another article and another day.

Lately, when out on the water, we’ve noticed helicopters buzzing the fishing grounds. That kinda sends shivers because the commercial big boys use choppers to spot the schools of fish. 

Everyone goes on alert.  Hackles are up.

But, as we’ve come to find out, these choppers aren’t looking for schools of fish.  At least not in the traditional senses.

We’ve noticed a lot of strange pangas and boats chasing around and following the choppers too.  They’re full of tourists not fishermen!

We’ve seen 6, 8…a dozen pangas running helter-skelter all over under the choppers.

What’s going on?

Well…here’s the latest…

The boats are full of folks wanting to swim with orcas.  Yup…that’s right Killer Whales. Willy and friends!

“Go Ahead!  You Jump In First!”

The biggest smartest apex predator in the ocean.  Great white sharks?  C’mon…killer whales eat them for breakfast!  Funny dolphins?  They look so cute in the ocean!

I was on a fishing boat once.  I saw an orca toss a dolphin up out’ve the water.  In mid-air it caught the spinning dolphin and crunched it in a huge spray of blood.

Uh…we moved our boat.  No fish gonna be around after that!

I’ve seen killer whales toss sealions in the air like nerf balls!

So, all these companies are now selling “Swim with the Orcas” trips!

Yes, you too can jump in the water with these giants! Get in on it.  Amaze your friends!

You’ll get lots of “clicks” on your youtube post and a zillion “likes” on your Facebook page.  Or course, Willy will be happy to take a selfie with you!

I think some of these folks are the same folks who walk up to buffalo in Yellowstone Park or grizzly bears and take selfies or try to pet them.

Let’s think about this for a moment.

I’m a trained SCUBA divemaster.  I grew up in Hawaii.  In the water and above the water.  I’ve worked as a scuba and snorkel guide.  I’ve got thousands of water hours.

I’ve swam with schools of hammerheads and other sharks. I’ve dove with giant squid. Many times, I’ve played with whalesharks and dolphin.  I kinda know my way around the water. 

Just a bit.SURE!  I DON”T MIND IF YOU JUMP ON MY BACK!  WE LOVE IT.  HAVE YOUR CAMERA READY!

But, hey…these are called “KILLER WHALES!”  Has everyone forgotten?

Joe and Martha from Kansas have not spent much time in the ocean.

I have been around killer whales. 

I’ve had them swim around our boats.  I’ve had them “playfully” bump our boats.  It kinda looks like they are grinning at you.  Then they open their mouths and show you all those teeth.

And yes, I’ve been to Sea World and other water theme parks and watch them do tricks .

I have never ever seen one act with malicious intent towards people. 

The events I mentioned above with dolphin and sealions?  That’s just orcas doing what orcas do. 

These are wild animals.  These are wild animals in their own environment.

And unlike sharks and other predators, I have no doubt these are smart intelligent animals.  They think.

Even if they are “playing” this is a 25-foot animal that can weigh up to 6 tons.  They can swim in 40 mph bursts.  Faster than a shark.  Faster than a dolphin.

Ever been hit by a truck going 40 mph?  Ever had one fall on you?

Many years ago, in Bahia Magdalena, they allowed divers to scuba dive with the “gentle” gray whales in the shallow bay.  One of the whales wanted to have some fun.

It “gently” tossed one diver into the air. Caught him on it’s nose then drove him some 30’ into the bottom!  No malicious intent.

Just doing what whales do! Almost killed the guy. Just an accident of course.

Scuba with the gray whales has since been prohibited.

I keep thinking what happens when one of these orcas decides to get frisky and playful?  Or worse yet…what if Willy gets irritated about being chased all over the ocean by pesky helicopters and boats full of people?

How would YOU react?

There are currently no rules or regulations about swimming with orcas.  And many outfitters are seeing the potential to cash-in on the cash cow. 

No training needed.  No guide needed.  No regulations.  I heard it’s $3000 to rent a panga to chase the orcas.  Snorkel and mask?  Sure, jump in!

All it’s gonna take is one accident. 

Personally, I’m gonna stay in the boat this round. I’ll go swim with the sharks!

That’s my story!

FAIRY LIGHTS?

Originally Published the Week of May 20, 2025 in Western Outdoor Publications

Several decades ago when I first arrived here, I was not only guiding fishermen, but was also a working divemaster for SCUBA.  Working above and below the water was incredible.

One of my favorite things was taking folks night diving!

WHAAAT???  Are you crazy?   I can hear it as many of you are reading this.

Oh sure. Diving at night…

It’s not as knuckleheaded as it may seem. Night dives are actually incredibly fun and it is definitely a completely different underwater world at night .

…and more popular than you might think.

Especially down here in Baja in the Sea of Cortez.  The waters are warm.  Currents are minimal and there’s so much to see under the surface.

For one, fish actually do seem to sleep.  At least they don’t seem as active.  I don’t recommend ever touching the animals.  However, fish that will often swim away in the day, will honestly let you get pretty close and not even wiggle a fin.

You can also hear them “talking” if that’s what you want to call it.

There are clicks, grunts, snaps and other noises you that seem more amplified at night underwater and I’m told by the smart people that this is how fish communicate.

Also, since you’re using underwater lights, the colors seem much more vibrant like the fish themselves, coral, crustaceans, etc. especially against the black background of the dark ocean.

Lights…that’s the rub.

Everyone is always very excited when I take them night diving.  You can tell it’s natural that there is a bit of trepidation and anxiety.  Like before you climb on the rollercoaster. Adventure awaits!

And then I tell them to follow me underwater, but at some point, I am going to turn off my light.  And I want them to do the same thing!

Turn our lights?  Are you nuts? Are you sure you’re a certified divemaster?  Why don’t you ask us to play on the freeway instead.

I assure them that all will be well.  I will turn my light off.  Then, I will turn it back on again so they understand what I am doing. 

And I will turn of off again.

So, with even more anxiety and not a little nervousness, they follow me into the dark waters. I’m taking them to the reef.

And at some point along dive, I turn to them and shine my light on them so all the divers see me.  And I flip off my lights switch!

Immediately their light beams go helter skelter looking for me.

Then, I turn my light back on and give them the universal thumb-to finger OK sign.

We’re fine.  I got this!

Even underwater I can feel the nervousness dissipate.  They suddenly remember what I was going to do. But I could see for a fraction of a second behind their dive masks were some really big eyes!

I point to my eown yes with two fingers signaling them to watch.  Then off goes my light.  One by one, their lights also wink out.

We are pretty much in inky darkness.  Maybe hearing only the sounds of bubbles rising as their breathing quickens just a tad.

After a moment, I take my hand and I quickly sweep it in a wide arch underwater around myself and overheard.  Then, I do it again!

They cannot see my hand, but as if by magic in that black hole of an ocean, jet streams of blue and gold glowing glitter are left in the wake of the movement of my hands!

I do again several more times and it is as if a galaxy of starlight like tiny bits of fairy dust are all around me following my hand movements like a magician dramatically making the zillions of stars appear out of nothingness!

Like Tinker Bell just went nuts with the pixie dust!

Suddenly they get it!

I look back and all of my divers are now waving and wiggling and twirling around in a fantastic underwater ballet.  Stream of fluorescent shimmering glitter follow every movement.  It is like dancing in stars!

Kicking fins.  Hand movements.  Spinning happy divers each turned into a conjurer of exploding lights  as each becomes an underwater wizard!

I can tell from the breathing bubbles that some of them are even laughing! 

A playful sealion pup swims by and leaves a glittering jetstream of glitter like a rocket has passed through the cosmos. Thousands of “stars” hang suspended in liquid space as if a whole galaxy has been created.

Looking closely, they even notice that fish swimming by each leave a tell-tale signature of their own glitter footprint!

Afterwards, they would excitedly tell me it was one of the most exciting, crazy and illuminating diving experience ever.

What they had experienced is called “Bioluminesence.”

That’s a big 5-dollar spelling bee word, but essentially, it’s a chemical reaction emitted by living organisms. It’s a fascinating natural phenomenon because the chemical reaction produces an   illuminating natural light.

Often found in marine environment, it can often be seen at night when waves crash along a shoreline or beach or in the wake of a boat.  Or in our case, when scuba diving!

It’s the same emission seen in fireflies, glowworms and a few other land-based critters.  In the ocean, especially in deep sea locations, it can be seen in squid, jellyfish and especially plankton which is what was probably creating our galaxy of fairy glitter.

Depending on the creature, this reaction can produce quite a variety of colors including yellow, gold, red, blue and sometimes green lights.

Just another of nature’s incredible light shows! Courtesy of the Master Wizard Himself.

That’s my story!
