High Tides & Big Waves

No. We were one of the first buyers with legal titles in Troncones. We could have “bought” earlier as ejido land but I wanted to buy more than a handshake. In June 1996, Dewey showed me the first legal title. I said we wanted to buy. We had the choice of pretty much any lot.

Back in 1996 I thought that the threats of climate change due to global warming would inevitably mean higher sea levels and increased risks due to erosion.

If I could see it way back then, it baffles me that some today still deny it but I remember two quotes.

“There is none so blind as he who refuses to see.”

and

“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.”

… Back on topic…

Everybody wanted a tide level lot with sand in front. I said I wanted a lot that had lava rocks in front of it and had a few metres of elevation.

I’m sitting pretty now.

YOU DA MAN!
