Puerto Escondido Harbor: 25 deg, 49.5 min W 111 deg, 19.4 min
First Northerly of the Year: October 13, 2008
This has been a little different summer/fall here in Puerto Escondido and area.
The first Northerly of the season came early, Mick “Rhumbline” clocked wind gust to 30 – 33 and wind speeds of 25 in the main harbor.
There were a couple of days some of the hottest temperatures were seen in a while but, the summer was mild on the general whole,
Hurricane Norbert was an October Hurricane.
The locals have said the Heater is switched on July 20th and the Air Conditioner on October 20th. A week earlier than the local prediction the air conditioner has been turned on. The days are pleasant and the nights cool enough for a blanket.
Fonaport: October 12, 2008
On behalf of all the Boaters, Cruisers and Hidden Port Yacht Club we would like to thank Fonaport and all the employees at Puerto Escondido for their assistance and support before, during and after Hurricane Norbert. The feeling of all the boaters that were moored in Puerto Escondido during Norbert was very positive towards Fonaport.
Most important, a very special thank you for fixing the moorings in the harbor making them safe and secure. This is the first Hurricane Puerto Escondido has had in the last 4 years in which a boat did not break lose from any of the mooring.
Hurricane Norbert: October 11, 2008
Category 2 Hurricane Norbert finally came Sat October 11th, 2008. If you have to go through a hurricane it is best if it comes and goes in the daylight, and Norbert did just that. He was kind in many ways; everyone had 4 days preparation time from the time we knew he would make his projected visit to us. It was not till Friday that it was certain he would be coming close to Puerto Escondido. Puerto Escondido was on the lee side. There were no boats damaged or walking about. Two on board owners did have to make minor adjustments during the storm. There was no damage in Tripui or Juncalito. Juncalito and Ligui did lose water. The last good thing was there were no high high tides. 1.6 was the highest.
There was no pre rains or winds to mention. Friday the clouds started to cover the area and by Saturday morning they started to build. It was not till after Norbert was close to landfall on the Pacific near Puerto Charley; located between Santa Fe and Bahia Magdalena around 10:30 MDT with estimated winds of 105 MPH did the clouds really start to darken and become serious with rain as they lowered on the mountains. The rains came straight down for a long while. The winds came out of the south –south west clocking around to the North West. Depending on where you were and how the winds funneled in that area. The highest wind speed gust reported was from Ed “Pacific” in Tripui of 110 mph. The gust in the harbor was clocked at 57 mph. Hovdey reported 80 mph on the hard in Marina Seca. Fred “Casa Anuja” reported 6 inches of rainfall in Juncalito and counted 45 waterfalls
By 4:00 P.M. Norbert was located at 25.7 N. 110.3 W about 70 miles East – Southeast of Loreto, moving on a northeasterly direction. As he was leaving with wind coming from the north, in the harbor water came in though the windows and in Juncalito crashing swells pounded the beach.
 |
As Norbert approached the clouds built getting thicker and thicker till they were almost darkened to a midnight blue.

Wet Experience through “Norbert”: October 11, 2008
A good lesson learned from my first hurricane.
I was just minding my own business, going through a hurricane like usual, when I heard a loud bang and felt the boat swing sideways to the wind. The safety line I installed on the mooring ball had gotten too much slack, and wrapped around the keel, drawing the mooring ball up against the hull. This instantly turned me broadside to the storm.
I put out a call to Terry on “Manta” for any suggestions. His suggestion was to take advantage of the “lull” and go over the side and clear the line. Well, the wind was blowing pretty good with small chop, but I knew I didn’t want to get hit with the full force of the hurricane sideways. The info out, was we still had about 2 to 3 hours before it hit us the hardest.
I got my mask and fins and slipped into the choppy water. The first trip into the water showed the safety line was wrapped a full 360 degrees around the keel. I had to climb back on board to loose the line. I then went back in and had to dive under the keel to free the mess. When I got back on the boat, I pulled the safety up tight, and didn’t have any more problems. I would like to thank Terry “Manta” and Mick “Rhumbline” for standing by the radio, and Ray “Adios” and Carlos “Mango Mambo” for coming over in the dink to check on me.

Tropical Storm Julio: August 25th, 2008
Tropical Storm Julio was not a
bad storm. There was very little wind. Fred measured 8 inches of rain in
Juncalito. (Loreto got more rain than we did) In the waiting room ‘Rambrosco”,
the old “Allie” broke lose. Kenny, Mick and Terry secured it for the night her
anchoring is being repaired.
The water and
air temperatures have cooled down, making it a cool August end.
Fernando's Tienda, the roof did not collapse, the ceiling tape came lose, not good but not the worst. While no one in Loreto had bread or milk, Fernando did!!
The road to Constitution is now
open so supplies have started to flow.
Juncalito is
using the old river bed to drive in and out. Jose’s sons came out yesterday with
their heavy equipement to fix the road. The roads around the harbor are a mess
but some are drivable.
The new bridge had one side
open coming south, so the other side will get finished soon.
July 2008:
July has found many happenings and events in Puerto Escondido and the area.
New: The Tienda in the R.V. parking at Tripui is great. Fernando and his lovely wife has a good selection of items fresh veggies come in on Tuesday and Thursdays. and the store is air conditioned. If one needs something just ask and Fernando, he will bring it in for you. He also will give you a ride back to the dinghy dock if you have bought too much to carry. A small outside eating area is being built for hamburgers etc.
New: "Porto Bello" restaurant is open on the second floor of the Fonaport building, they are open 7 days for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It is owned by Pedro. Pedro and his family also have the new little Tienda for ice, beer and sodas located on the first level under the restaurant. Porto Bello has become the meeting place for Mexican Train, Baja Rummy and the Men's Poker night. (See Events Page)
Fonatur has started land improvements digging up all the streets, taking out all the lights leveling everything putting in new water lines and underground electrical lines, developing the land for building lots. The area affected is from the circle to the Fonaport (Singlar) gate, to API and all street in between. The dinghy dock was moved to it summer position, this can still be reached via vehicle. At the old mooring building - HPYC club house where the book exchange is located an area has been set up to cook and feed the workers. The book exchange room is open an available for books as in the past.
After a month of no diesel, diesel is now available again.
Fonaport: July 8, 2008
The mooring rates in the main harbor at Puerto Escondido will remain the same till June 30th, 2009
Singlar New Name "FonaPort": June 27, 2009
The new hailing name for Singlar is "Fonaport". The Singlar name is long longer used in P.E. or any other former Singlar facility. Use the new name call when hailing or entering Puerto Escondido main harbor, for a mooring ball, and fuel services
Other news concerning Puerto Escondido: This is not connected to the name change.
Fonatur has started major ground leveling on the land leading into the harbor. Any old
infrastructure has been removed. (This does not include the modern day ruins) The land is to be divided into lots and sold. There are no times set on completion that we have heard. The leveling is moving rather quickly.HPYC MEETING: May 15, 2008
The May meeting was preceded by Hot Dogs. Present Officers: Commodore Kenny, “Brandywine”, Treasure – Frank, “Peregrino” Vice Commodore Fred “Casa Anuja”, and Secretary Connie “Sunlover” and 27 members.
The meeting was called to order at 3:56 P.M.
Minutes: The Secretary, Connie “Sunlover” read the minutes from the March 30th meeting. John “Topaz made a motion to accept the minutes as read, Joe “Amigo Joe” seconded. Passed
Treasure Report: Frank “Peregrino” presented the Treasury Report. L.F. made 50 % more this year than last year. I need to do the accounting to know how much the beer and hot dogs made. A motion was made by Debbie “Ladyfish” to accept the treasure report, seconded by Joe “Amigo Joe”. Passed
Commodore Kenny spoke about his ideas for the future of HPYC. This years Loreto Fest was fun with everyone having a great time. He appreciated everyone’s help and hard work during the Fest. If we keep working at it the fest will even a better one next year. Some of the things I see happening is this year it was a little different type of cruisers than in the past, having newer boats, a little more money to spend being more affluent. We have used the old mooring building for many years, but it is getting to where we want to maybe bring our club up to a level where we have a nicer place to meet, better facilities, a sailing program. There is a lot of things we could do as things go along, but we will have to this a gradually. But nothing is going to stay the same. I am looking to the future and everyone on the board is a worker. ”Remember it’s “Not what the club can do for you what you can do for the club.”
HPYC Youth Sailing Club: Ward “Footloose” talked about the sailing program. . I started a sailing program in the states in 1999. Connie “Sunlover” and a few other people approached me about starting a sailing program for the kids in Ligui, Loreto and maybe even the college. The idea is to get kids out on the water in a boat giving them another avenue. First we need some boats. We are looking at the Lido 14’. I talked to some of the people in town about raising some money or donating some boats. There was also quite a bit of interest during Loreto Fest, people asking about the sailing program and the items donated to the Silent Auction for the sailing program. Also some parents in Loreto Bay asked about wanting their kids to have sailing lessons. Charging them could fund 3-4 other kids to sail. I was approached by a gal at Loreto Fest, Catharine Cooper, asking what we needed, please send a list of items. The list was emailed, the reply, “We will take care of every thing on the list.” There are other people looking for boats and equipment. Bob “Vela” offered to help, he has taught sailing before. Darlene mentioned the College tourism program, this would be right down their alley; there would be lots of volunteers to help. Nancy “Brandywine” said they have a Capri 14’2 the club could use as long as it has a sailing program. Domingo “Domingo’s Place” said he would donate $500.00 to buy a boat and would go to other merchant in Loreto for donations. Their name could go on the sail or boat for donating to the program. Alexander Ogilvie “Schatzi” a member of HPYC said we could use his 22’ boat to take out 2-3 at a time. Storage for the boats is being check into with Singlar or HPYC getting a club house area with an area to store the boats. I hope to have the program ready to roll by fall.
Loreto Fest: There was much discussion about this years L.F. and suggestions for 2009.
Frank “Peregrino” is trying to figure out how many hot dogs were sold at Loreto Fest. The extra food left over was donated to Ligui Dormitory. Vicki “Cat house” Bay Clean Up and raising funds for the Internado school is an important part of Loreto Fest. But people come to have a good time and camaraderie. There are a few who work hard but volunteers have felt alienated, manipulate and betrayed in the past. There seems to be a battle of wills, this is everyone’s Yacht Club. It is not up to any one individual, this needs to be addressed. Kenny “Brandywine” expressed his personal thoughts as Commodore, he would like this Yacht Club to work smoothly we did not have many glitches at Loreto Fest this year. Most everything worked smoothly. We do have a new younger group; more people danced and danced every night. He did not hear any negative about the Fest this year. The Roman Gods and Goddess was a great idea, and the D.J. music was great. The pre Loreto Fest. preparation can get intense especially when many of the volunteers are not here till the day before it starts. Everyone needs to keep their egos out of it. Janet “Mystical” received a lot of positive feed back, the musicians got a night off to have fun, dance and were able to do a better performance Sunday night. Janet “Mystical: Prizes should be graded to the places 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc. John “Topaz” said what he and Nancy did was divide into four groups – committee head group – contest – etc. Janet also suggested reading out the names of the donated prizes and who donated them. They had only been posted on the bulletin board this year. Put some on the prizes in the silent auction. Some prizes were put in the Silent Auction this year. Neka: Raffle off the quilt rather than put it in the Silent Auction. Joe “Cat House” More fun will get more people here; people having fun the money will flow. Dave Hovdey – Attract more people to Loreto Fest and secure price from Singlar for L.F. for a week. This was our first time at Loreto Fest there was great input from other cruisers before hand, we wanted to come. Give better communication on games and events for people to know what all is happening and the tournaments. Nancy “Brandywine” Maybe second games going just for fun, not tournaments Dario “Ballena” HPYC as a group send pictures and letter to Singlar for better prices . Janet “Mystical” suggested the letter be signed by HPYC members this would be more impressive. Frank “Peregrino” Asked who and how much was donated for the D.J., Dave and Merry “Airops” donated the $280.00. John “Topaz” made a motion for the D.J. music to be added to the budget next year. Joe “Amigo Joe” seconded. Passed Singlar Mooring Prices need to be posted in more places. Plate’s silverware – HPYC provide plates and silver ware for Loreto Fest Dinners. Dave “Hovdey” Do better posting of Loreto Fest Information and Mooring rates at Down Wind and West Marine before the HaHa. John “Topaz” made a motion we investigate the cost of coming up with a Loreto Fest advertising marketing plan/budget. Passed Brenda “No Se” volunteered to be the Committee head for advertising. Don

Donations from Loreto Fest 2008: Darlene “Peregrino” spoke about the Ligui high school dormitory “AsistED”. At this time they are not in the government’s program for assistance. What they have is what they have been able to do with what monies that have been donated. Next year 23 will be in college and 36 in high school. Darlene is also in contact with Patty Ferrentino with the Loreto Internado school, she is communicating with Patty about HPYC sponsoring 2 children at the Loreto Internado. Last year we donated 4000 P to the Loreto Internado School- 14,000 P to the Loreto University, 24,000 P to the Ligui AsistED and 2000 P to Animalandia.

Dear Friends
On behalf of the children in residence, the director of the Albergue #8 (the Loreto Internado), and our committee, I wish to express our heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation of $4,000 MN towards our scholarship program.
These funds are held particularly to advantage the further education of two young women – Carmen Karina Gonzalez Guevara and her younger sister Maritza Gonzalez Guevara. These girls now reside in colonia Miramar, but were originally from Juncalito and are personally known to several of your members. Both have achieved and maintained a very high level of academic achievement and have shown as unusual spirit of responsibility and dedication.
Carmen is now attending class at the UABCS in Loreto, studying Ecotourism and Maritza is attending the Preparatoria in Loreto, where she is an exemplary student.

We thank you warmly for your continued support and financial aid. It is our hope that your holidays are joyful and peaceful.
Regards

HPYC MEETING: November 9, 2007
Commodore: Elvin, “Sealover” called the meeting to order at 4:15 P.M. Friday November 9th 2007 with Treasure: Frank, “Peregrino” and 23 present.
Frank “Peregrino” called the Agenda:
This is the time anyone wishing to add to the agenda may do so.
Loan to API – Romulo
Report Donation Committee
Report from Frank on the ACTA
Report from Nomination Committee for Election
Report on the Dinghy Dock
Report on By – Laws and Rules
Added to the Agenda was Reading of the Minutes,, Treasurer’s Report, and Other Business.
Frank “Peregrino” read the minutes from the October, 5th 2007 HPYC meeting. Accepted as read
Treasure, Frank "Peregrino" then read the treasurer’s report. Report was accepted. He also raised concern that a loan to Romulo of API was made for 5000 P using money from the dinghy dock set aside money. This was unauthorized because we cannot legally make loans or gifts to individuals, only to legal non-profit organizations. Furthermore, the By-Laws of HPYC do not allow emergency expenditures over $200 USD to be authorized by the board, and these then have to be approved by the membership at the next meeting. A discussion followed and Fred “Casa Anuja” bought the loan. The accounting is now correct.
OLD BUSINESS:
Donation Committee: Bob “Vela” reported the committee’s recommendations for the 2007 donations.
Animalandia: 2,000 P
Loreto Internado: 4,000 P
AssitEd: 24,000 P
University of Loreto: 14,000 P
Emergency Fund: 6,000 P
Total: 50,000 P
A motion was made to accept the recommendations. It was voted and passed with one opposed.
ACTA: Frank “Peregrino” reported on the ACTA. He still has not been able to meet with the ACTA President Alejandro. It was suggested we look for a new head of the ACTA. Peter “Cheerios” proposed Chinto from Juncalito and Connie “Sunlover” Domingo from El Nido’s as possible people for this position. Frank will look into this.
Nomination Committee: Frank “Peregrino” bought up that we need a Special Election to replace the 2 vacancies on the board of Vice Commodore and Secretary.
Commodore Elvin “Sealover” said our yearly election is in December. Voting in the vacant positions could be done with the yearly election. Elvin had stated in the past he would continue to be Commodore till December when he could be voted out. If he is not voted out or there is no Election of Officers he will resign in December.
By Laws and Rules: Bob “Vela” one of the 3 on the committee stated the ACTA needed to be changed. After some discussion he understood this committee was looking at the By Laws and Rules only. Peter “Cheerios” asked for an extension of time till the December meeting for their report. This was granted.
