Baja Ferries - Note: Baja Ferries has recently changed the departure times after years of the same schedule. They now leave LaPaz at 8 A.M. and start loading time is 6 A.M. They now leave Topo at 5 P.M. so no overnight travel. Check their website, it now states • Schedules may change without previous notice. - Dean Devolpi, bajaferries.com/, La Paz
Baja Ferry Times - We just traveled both ways to and from La Paz and Topolobampo and found the times have changes. The ferry leaves La Paz at 8am and you have to be at Pinchelinque by 6:00 am. Coming the other direction, the ferry leaves at 5 p.m. and you have to be at Topolobampo by 3 p.m. We advise buying your ticket early, especially if you are traveling on the weekend. We also found the lower areas where our car was parked was VERY hot....we would definitely recommend putting a pet in the kennel on board. By the time you are loaded, travel the 6 hours and then wait to unload, it would be a good 8 hours for an animal to be unattended in a car. - Sharon Morris, serendipityventures[-at-]yahoo.com
Propane Generator - Does anyone know a a mechanic who can work on propane generator - if so Please let me know. - Russell Specter, russbaja2000[-at-]yahoo.com, 612-10-05872
Electric Bills! (courtesy, Baja Pony Express) - There is one way to know how much you have to pay on CFE. First you may go to this web page:
recibos.cfe.gob.mx/ssl.asp?/aplicaciones/ccfe/recibos/consulta
In this page you could have an account to verify your CFE Bill. On the right side you may log in first "Registrate", just follow the steps and you will have a CFE Account where you could check your Bill. As soon as you get your CFE account, you must go to this link:
http://recibos.cfe.gob.mx/ssl.asp?/aplicaciones/CCFE/recibos/consulta/?a=&pago=1
you will be able to pay with some of the credit cards that CFE show you on the screen. You have to choose your bank logo and then you could pay "On Line" your CFE Bill. But if you have no credit card (from mexico) I believe you just will know how much you have to pay. I hope this will be helpful for you. P. D.
If you need some financial or insurance information you could be in contact with me, by phone or e-mail me. Gracias! - Claudia Castelo, 612 128 2751

You Got Mail !!! - Baja Bell is currently investigating the possibility of having U.S. mail deliver in Pescadero on a weekly basis. It is doable !! But in order to make it happen we need a minimum of 10 mailboxes. Each mailbox will have a primary client (person responsible for paying for the service), plus 2 other clients that can share the same mailbox. Each mailbox will cost $405 pesos per month (divided by 3 clients= means that each client will pay $135 pesos per month). To sign up the primary client needs to pay up-front for 3 months service (3 X $405= $1215 pesos), plus each of the 3 clients needs to fill out the United States Postal Service form 1583 (http://www.usps.com/forms/_pdf/ps1583.pdf). Imagine. you can have a U.S. mailing address, received all your mail, magazines, CD's, DVD's, vitamins and possibly even your medications on a weekly basis right here in Pescadero, for only $135 pesos per month !! Oh. by the way, we'll even send you an email when "You Got MAIL!!", for free. Does this sound interesting to you? If so let me know ASAP, remember we need 10 mailboxes to make it happen !!
