I did two weeks in San Felipe this winter for a rowing trip. Watch the bay...you will see their rowing team. It is nothing like a US team. They row in the WORST water.

Where did you find the R-12? I have found it harder to find R-12 in Baja the past few years. I ended up with a substitute Dupont R-49 that I purchased in LaPaz but it is a replacement for R-12 and cannot be mixed with R-12. It's also not available in the US. I never used it and ended up giving it to a shop in Baja last winter. I didn't want to drain and replace my R-12 with something I couldn't buy in the states.

Unfortunately I won't be going through San Felipe until they get the new highway finished through to Highway 1. Thanks for the info though.
