Good friend of ours accepted a job helping to run a sailboat up from Mexico to CA. She went to meet the people and before knocking on the door heard fighting inside and from the surroundings realized that they probably had no money to pay her, so she left. Now that boat is in the news and has been missing for several days.

I saw something about a week ago about a boat that was missing that was going from Mexico to Ca and never made it and had not been heard from. I looked it back up and found this. It sounds like she was lucky to miss out on that trip.
"The Mexican Navy said Monday it is using ships and a plane to search for three Americans who went missing along with their sailboat off Mexico’s northern Pacific coast.

The Navy said it is using four patrol boats and a twin-engine prop airplane to search the area, but apparently no sign of the missing people has turned up yet.

The three Americans were aboard the 44-foot (13.5 meter) sailing vessel “Ocean Bound.” The U.S. Coast Guard gave their names as Kerry O’Brien, Frank O’Brien, and William Gross.

They have not been heard from since April 4, when they were near the Pacific coast port of Mazatlán, Mexico. The three had planned to stop for supplies in the Baja town of Cabo San Lucas, before proceeding to San Diego.

However, the Coast Guard said marinas in Baja California have not reported seeing the vessel."
I also saw another write up that said hey would have went through 20+ foot seas on the 6th.

Yeah that’s the one. Very lucky that she listened to her gut instincts Meanwhile I have a good forecast so gonna go out on a cod hunt for a few days.

I wish I was there to give you someone to babysit. Good luck and be safe.

Scary stuff.

Anyone that will go to Mexico right now is taking a chance just doing so.

Exactly
