An eBook about an icon of Zihuat is now on Amazon Kindle

Most know Kevin Moss as the day captain of the Picante sailboat. Years earlier he was the only captain for the Tri-Star. Kevin is retiring this year, and gave me his story about his earlier years here on the Costa Grande, to hopefully generate a little income during his retirement.

The story starts in 1975, when he moved here from Acapulco. He was 19 years old. To make a living he hand lined for red snapper, and after he made his sailboat, the Ramukla, he dived for lobster.

Kevin is world renown, along with famous surfer and artist Pat Tobin, as the pioneers of discovering and surfing Mexico’s popular point breaks.

On a journey to get his visa renewed, He and a friend sailed down to almost Chiapas, crossed over the Gulf of Mexico on a train flatcar, and then sailed up to the tip of Yucatan. During the crossing to Florida, the sailboat sunk in a hurricane, with Kevin being picked up later by an oil tanker ship.

After staying in Florida a short while, he came back to Zihuatanejo, and has been here ever since.

You will enjoy the short novel, and really feel closer to Mexico having enjoyed the experience. If you do enjoy it as much as I think you will, good reviews will certainly help Kevin’s future sales.

Also, I have been a bit busy this last few weeks, and later this week, I have two more eBooks coming out on Amazon Kindle, with Zihuatanejo very much in the center of both.

Thanks, Ed! Sounds fascinating! I’ve known Kevin ever since I got here. Super nice guy.

¡Suerte y saludos!

The Rooster and the Fly: Fly Fishing For Roosterfish
The accomplishment and incredible thrill of hooking a rooster on the fly is an experience only a small percent of the fly fishing community has experienced. Hopefully, the contents of this book will help the inexperienced angler understand the concept, as well as give a few new pointers to the experienced. And, it is not all about fly fishing. The angler also has the option to cast a lure or a live bait. It is not fly fishing until the fly is cast.

Ever hear from or see the infamous "labrat"? He's been MIA for a while now!

Keith is a good friend. Keith, Leslie, my wife Rebeca and I get together a couple of times a year. It is usually for dinner at our house, but not always. Keith has now retired from his job and has a decent retirement income. He has been looking into properties here and considering buying.
He is alive and doing well.

I see him on Facebook all the time with his pictures of fishing.

nice to hear life is good for him...

Where are the missing 30,000 posts?

Or am I confusing this with Hillary's e-mails?

Gracias, amigo but I didn’t remove the comments in question. Labrat did when he canceled his account, accidentally (I’m guessing) deleting thousands of comments by other people in the process without so much as an escuzez-moi.

Labrat has moved on to another Zihua-related site, which I frequent. On occasion, someone asks a question and I have recommended they also check this site for information. Recently, the owner of the site asked me not to mention this site, because naming hers is forbidden here. Any truth to this?

Ha ha ha ha ha

I'm guessing that's a NO!

Maybe instead of a Labrat report we could get a fishing report with the current one being a month old? Maybe we could also get reports from more than one boat?

Not much of an answer.

Sent you an email Rob- maybe time to talk about this?

Sorry, I can’t read the fancy script font you used in your email. It hurts my eyes. I tried but gave up.

Let me see if I can’t clear up any misunderstandings. I’ve worked damn long and hard to build a website and to build up my readership, so I am always going to be averse to sending my readers to any other website for information that can be found or posted here, whether it be TripAdvisor or your chat room on Facebook. You have always been welcome to post here, nevertheless, and no offense, your chat room is not ever going to be a place I will participate even if I were welcome. My loyalty is to this website, which is much more than just a chat room.

I hope this responds to everyone’s concerns. If not please feel free to let me know.

Un saludo y un abrazo.

Gracias for all you do Rob!!

Thank you Rob for your comments here, and sorry about the font thing in my email; I will check that out.
I totally understand your loyalty to your forum. My page on facebook was never meant to be similar to what you offer, nor to be competition in any way. There is no way I could manage a website, as you do, and I chose to work within the often limiting parameters of facebook.
Your site and my page are totally different animals! Actually, I hesitated for quite awhile before creating my facebook page beacause I cared that it would probably result in hard feelings between us. I am assuming from your post that it isn't personal, and thank you for always welcoming me here on your forum for the past 25 years. You have been and continue to be welcome on my private group page, but I understand that you don't care to be involved there. I'm sure you have more than enough to do and keep track of with all that you already do!
So, on we go...wherever the remainder of life takes us, to do the best we can.
Wishing you and Lupita well, as always, abrazos amigos.
