Mexican Navy Boards then Sinks Boat off San Quintin (PICS)

Totally unsat IMHO. Tito should be fully compensated with a new and bigger boat. The Mexican Government is not doing anything to enhance tourism and tourism dollars that's for sure. The more I read lately, the less I desire to spend my limited dollars there.

I wanted to mention that my father was one of the men on board. While detained they were given very little food and not enough water to drink. When they were forced to go onto the Navy ship my dad asked if he could get a few bottle waters out of their ice chest, their response was No! My dad, who's a big guy had a hard time getting into their boat as he fell on board and banged up his legs and arms. This is no way to threat Americans who did not violate any laws.

What the hell does that have to do with Mexico? Comments like that just anger me.

This incident was conducted by Mexican Naval personnel on a Mexican registered ship. And on top of that it was against a Mexican skipper. How do you think It whould have gone if it was a private U.S. boat?

When was the last time this happened to someone in U.S. waters by our Coast Guard!

I have been thinking of making a trip again to Mexico after a lot of years have passed. Not any more.

sorry to hear about your Dad having to go through all that, glad everyone is OK.

The only way this shit stops is if the tourism dollers stop. The closest I'll get to mainland Mexico is from the deck of my favorite long range boats. I know I'm still paying for permits but at least I take most of the villiage idiots out of the picture. Glad everyone got back safe and I hope Tito gets some kind of justice.

Your right the Coast Guard or our Navy will board you and take you off your boat try and get you to sign an admission of guilt and then sink your boat just for giggles and shits. Brilliant post

What kills me is they were detained for being there illegally. Yet if we detain anyone for being here illegally we get called all kinds of names.

HOOK UP!!! I'M BIT IN THE CORNER!!

Shhheeeez...if I have to explain it to you, that was a smart-assed remark I made because everytime someone brings up how shitty things are getting in upper Baja, one of the guys living down there brings up LA crime statistics. Come on Noob...get in the game!
