No fish, but quite a hurricane! Travelers get
quite a vacation experience at Cabo San Lucas
Bv Nanulee Nichols
When Marilyn Glover and Ruth
Skaggs decided to go to Cabo San
Lucas for some deep sea fishing they
never thought that they would end up
in the middle of a hurricane.
They flew down to Cabo San Jose
and took the 50 kilometer drive to
Cabo San Lucas on September 11, a
Tuesday.
Their fishing trip was scheduled
for that Thursday.
Without realizing how fortunate
they were, they stayed at the oldest
resort there, a family owned hotel
called the Finnerstera. The resort sits
on the top of a ridge that runs into the
ocean. Twenty-five years ago when
the resort was built there was no
electricity or water, and they installed
their own supplies.
They also were a little disappointed
to discover that their room overlooked
the marina side instead of the Pacific
side, but didn't complain.
Tuesday they shopped around the
city, generally admiring the tall palms,
white buildings and luxury hotels.
The only news stations on televi-
sion that were English speaking were
from the east coast, and they were
absorbed with hurricane Hortense.
By Wednesday, however, they
knew that Fausto was headed right
for them. They spent the day watch-
ingin fascination as the employees of
the resort, long familiar with hurri-
cane preparation, worked through the
day.
They put masking tape across all
the glass, removed everything from
the pool area, stacked all loose items
such a^ outdoor furniture in and un-
derground area and stretched heavy
rope along all the balconies.
Palm trees were lashed together,
and even the chandeliers up under the
covered patio areas were roped
against the ceiling beams.
That night the sliding door onto
the balcony of the room snapped and
popped as the wind steadily rose.
"The winds for were predicted for
about 130, but they tell us they only
reached 105" Marilyn Glover says,
"let me tell you, that's plenty fero-
cious".
Thursday morning, as the once
calm, turquoise blue ocean turned to
huge rolling breakers, and winds
screamed, bending palm trees nearly
double, everyone at the hotel were
told to stay in their rooms and hotel
staff would try to bring them a box
lunch.
Sure enough, about an hour later
they received a ham sandwich, soft
drink and apple.
Later, Marilyn decided to go check
out the restaurant. When she rounded
the comer onto the Pacific side of the
hotel the wind whipped her glasses
away and she had to grab the ropes
with both hands. "It was incredible. I
didn't realize just how sheltered we
had been!" she says. She struggled up
and discovered that there was seven
inches of water in the restaurant, and
the employees in the kitchen were
try ing to keep on making box lunches
standing in water.
On her slow trip back to the hotel
room, she met workers with brooms,
mops and buckets, but didn't think
much about it.
That night the storm abated, and it
was the next day that Ruth and
Marilyn discovered that the brooms
and mops were for. On the Pacific
side water had flooded, run down the
walls and shot through sealed win-
dows and doors of all the rooms. One
young couple had their window blown
a
BEFORE and DURING-these photographs taken by Marilyn
Glover during Hurricane Faustos at Cabo San Lucas show the
Pacific Ocean the day before the storm it, and just before it actually
struck. There is a big difference between the calm that is usual and
the huge windblown waves just before.

out, and ended up having to stuff the
mattress into the window and use
sheets and blankets to absorb water.
They told Ruth they retreated into the
bathroom to the tub. "We knew we
were in trouble when our luggage
started floating around" they said.
Phone and tv service was out, but
they still had electricity and water.
The next day was clear, and
Marilyn and Ruth went into town to
discover broken windows, trees
blown over, and sand so deep in the
streets that vehicles were bogging
down. They found out then that there
was no water or electricity anywhere
except at their resort, because it was
using it's generator and water supply!
Obviously during all this, no fish-
ing was possible. On Sunday they did
go out, discovering that the ocean
was black with silt from the storm
and huge breakers were still rolling.
When the boat was caught sideways
to a swell and heeled over so sharply
that they could touch the water they
decided it was time to go in.
"We weren't going to catch any-
thing in that muddy water anyway"
Marilyn sighed.
The road to the airport was washed
out, and rocks had to be piled into the
gaps in the hard surfaced road before
anyone could leave.
When they flew out it was un-
eventful. People from all over were
waiting to get a room at their resort
because there was still no water and
electricity had only just been reestab-
lished.
It's obvious Marilyn is regretful of
all the deep sea fishing she missed.
"Well, I've always wanted to see a
hurricane come in" Marilyn says,
"But I sure could have seen one
cheaper than the way we did!"

UNBELIEVABLE RAIN-this photo shot during Hurrican Fausto
at Cabo San Lucas was on the protected side of a resort. The water
streaks aren' t because it was shot through a window, but show how
hard it was raining on the camera, which was sheltered, then raised
for a quick picture. This was not during the worst of the storm,
which was experienced by Marilyn Glover and Ruth Skaggs when
they were on vacation.
Do buzzards migrate?......
By Liz Irwin
We know that any day now that
the geese will begin their flight to
the south for warmer weather and
several other species of birds as
well. Do buzzards migrate? I think
they do! Just ask Cindy. . . .you
know the lady that drives the white
Chevy and has a sidekick known as
Cheyenne. Several weeks ago she
made buzzard bashing the newest
craze in Texas!
Well, we have decided that they
migratedown Highway 410, north of
Detroit and near Cindy's home in
Manchester. They must.....how
else could she have hit another one!
Cindy, you have got to slow down!
Poor Cheyenne will be looking for a
new master. One that won’t force-
feed him buzzard! Luckily, Chey-
enne was riding in the back of the
truck this time and only wound up
with a few feathers tucked neatly
between his teeth! Cindy, however,
did slow down, come to a stop and
when looking in the back, saw that
Cheyenne did have this bewildered

look on his face...... like, "Oh no,
not again!"j>as he was glued up
against tHe render wells. Do you
intentionally do this for sport? How
many do you have mounted on your
walls at home? Is there a buzzard
season, like quail and dove and do
folks run them dovyn instead of shoot-
ing at them. I've never bought any
buzzard license or purchased any
buzzard "shot" in the shell section of
the sporting good store. Apparently
no guns are needed though, just a
white Chevy pickup!
Before long C?indy, your phone
will begin ringing and the "All
American Sportman " will be calling
you for TV interviews. But if
Geraldo calls, don't answer!
