brad- agreed on all counts... and glad to see that the dorado's premature death was for the purpose of nurturing life in the form of food instead of sport. i see from the picture that you have moved up in the world and have acquired the wealthy man's tool set that puts you a cut above and beyond the basic sailor's arsenal of "duct tape and WD40"... VICE GRIPS! i'm jealous. that puts you one step ahead of the mechanico in tampico who replaced my blown lower radiator hose. his entire set of tools consisted of a rusty pair of pliers. he does good work. 280 pesos ($26.66 US) covered the new hose, a gallon of replacement antifreeze and his labor. it was completed within an hour of the time the old hose blew out. this happened on the trip back and totally negated the $100 mordida that i left with the policeman in tampico/altamira on the way down... ahhhhhh... mejico... where life is fair and just. i love the place and the people. -elpolvo
