The Mom Test
A book by Rob Fitzpatrick
Summary written by Tom Fuller (become a content creator)
According to The Mom Test book, we know that we ought to talk to customers. Many of us even do talk to customers. But we still end up building stuff nobody buys. Isn't that exactly what talking to people is meant to prevent? It turns out almost all of us are doing it wrong.
The advice that you "should talk to customers" is well-intentioned, but ultimately a bit unhelpful. It's like the popular kid advising his nerdy friend to "just be cooler." You still have to know how to actually do it.
People say you shouldn't ask your mom whether your business is a good idea. That's technically true, but it misses the point. You shouldn't ask anyone whether your business is a good idea. At least not in those words. Your mom will lie to you the most, (because she loves you), but it's a bad question and invites everyone to lie to you at least a little.
It's not anyone else's responsibility to show us the truth. It's our responsibility to find it. We do that by asking good questions. The mom Test is a set of simple rules for crafting good questions that even your mom can't lie to you about.
- Challenge: According to the next list of questions, select the 2 bad questions to make to a potential user/customer according to the author:
- "Do you think it's a good idea?"
- "Where does the money come from?"
- "Would you buy a product which did X?"
- Respond here www.bookcademy.com/catalog/courses/the-mom-test
Here are 3 simple rules to help you. They are collectively called (drumroll) The Mom Test:
- Talk about their life instead of your idea
- Ask about specifics in the past instead of generics or opinions about the future
- Talk less and listen more.
The questions to ask are about your customers' lives: their problems, cares, constraints, and goals. You humbly and honestly gather as much information about them as you can and then take your own visionary leap to a solution. Once you've taken the leap, you confirm that it's correct through Commitment & Advancement.
Avoiding bad data
There are three types of bad data:
- Compliments
- Fluff (generics, hypotheticals, and the future)
- Ideas
Sometimes we invite the bad data ourselves by asking the wrong questions, but even when you try to follow The Mom Test, conversations still go off track. It could happen because you got excited and started pitching.
Asking Important questions
In addition to ensuring that you aren't asking trivialities, you also need to search out the world-rocking scary questions you've been unintentionally shrinking from. The best way to find them is with thought experiments. Imagine that the company has failed and ask why that happened. Then imagine it as a huge success and ask what had to be true to get there. Find ways to learn about those critical pieces.
Pre-plan the 3 most important things you want to learn from any given type of person (e.g. customers, investors, industry experts, key hires, etc). Update the list as your questions change. Your 3 questions will be different for each type of person you're talking to. If you have multiple types of customers or partners, have a list of each.
Don't stress too much about choosing the "right" important questions. They will change. Just choose whatever seems murkiest or most important right now. Answer those will give you firmer footing and a better sense of direction for your next 3.
You might get answers 1-3 from customer A, answer 4 from customer B, answers 5-7 from customer C. There's overlap and repetition, but you don't need to repeat the full set of questions with every participant. Your time is valuable: don't feel obligated to repeat questions you already have solid data on. Pick up where you left off and keep filling in the picture.
- Challenge: According to the author is important to identify if your idea has a "product risk" or "customer/market risk". If you've got heavy product risk (as opposed to pure market risk), you're not going to be able to prove as much of your business through conversations alone. The conversations give you a starting point, but you'll have to start building products earlier and with less certainty than if you had pure market risk. The author talks about the kind of risk in video games industry for instance. According to that, what kind of risk that industry has?
- Product risk?
- Market risk?
- Respond here www.bookcademy.com/catalog/courses/the-mom-test
Keeping it casual
When you strip all the formality from the process, you end up with no meetings, no "interviews", and a much easier time all around. The conversations become so fast and lightweight that you can go to an industry meetup and leave with a dozen customers conversations under your belt, each of which provided as much value as a lengthy formal meeting.
The structure of separate problem/solution/sales conversations is critical for avoiding bias, but it's important to realise that the first one doesn't actually need to be a meeting. It works better as a chat.
Learning from customers doesn't mean you have to be wearing a suit and sipping ominous boardroom cafe. Asking the right questions is fast and

Former Cambridge United, Aston Villa and Crystal Palace player Bryan Boggis denies historic sex charge connected to his time as Wisbech Town player/manager
PUBLISHED: 15:20 08 August 2017 | UPDATED: 15:37 08 August 2017
A former Wisbech Town manager has denied gross indecency with a 12-year-old boy, allegedly carried out during his time in the Fens.
Bryan Boggis, 75, of Suffield Road, Gorleston, appeared in Cambridge Magistrates Court today (August 8) where he pleaded not guilty to a charge of gross indecency with a boy under the age of 14.
The case forms part of the force's investigation into non-recent allegations related to football in Cambridgeshire.
The offence is alleged to have happened between July 1 1968 and June 30, 1970.
Wisbech Town records show that Boggis joined the club as player manager on October 30, 1967 and left on May 2, 1970.
Boggis played for Cambridge United from 1961 to 1965 and remains the only player in the club's history to compete in 195 consecutive games.
He began playing for Gorleston at 15 years old. At 17 he was spotted by scout Sailor Brown and signed for Aston Villa. His career saw him play for Crystal Palace before signing for Cambridge United as a right back.
Since then, he has gone on to work as a player manager for Wisbech and Stevenage Athletic, before leaving football and becoming licensee of a number of pubs in Norfolk and Suffolk.

Mythology and the Art of Living
In our second meeting of the Sarasota Mythological Round Table Group, we discussed the collusion of art and mythology. Art captures mythological moments and enables people to move to that place. Artistic expression is an expression of our choice to be human, separate from the animals, and this is revealed in art, cuisine, and all of the unnecessary beauty we revel in as we celebrate our human experience.
Art, like mythology, is about discovering order and meaning, but also about articulating a realm of choice — morality, beauty, seeing and creating beauty in things. Telling stories through our art brings in the use of metaphors to help us transcend labels and get to the true meaning by bringing things into relationship that you wouldn't ordinarily draw the connections between. As we participate in our artistic process, we more greatly understand what it does to us as artists even before it effects those who may experience it otherwise.
Creativity is not so much about aesthetic — the art is in the experience of the work, getting caught up in the flow and transcending our egos just as the metaphors help us transcend the labels. When we allow the universe to move through us, speaking through us as artists, we become part of it, it becomes part of us, and we realize it for the immersive and transformative experience that it truly is.
Just as the only way to find out about anything is to write about it, the only way to truly discover art is to experience it, for the practice, like mythology, is an exclusively human activity whereby artistic arrest is part of it all coming together to reveal that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
To see an orchestra play together is an amazing example of this occurrence. While the Conductor is in control of orchestra, directing the energies of individual artists, each of the instrumentalists' energies work with each other to make something greater than themselves.
The achievement and tragedy of the Renaissance was the canonization of the artist. By placing artists on such a pedestal, we took art away from the folk craft and the art of living and made it exclusive to the elite. Folk music and similar art forms help people tap into collective stories, but for a long while, art has been largely removed from the general populous.
Yet the human experience is about movement, and art, like mythology, always implies some sort of journey. It is the collusion of Art and Mythology that work to create a domain in which we coexist. And the more that we realize the power that we have to explore these places, the more we can empower ourselves to bring about a renaissance in which art is returned to the people and mythology helps us to return to our higher Self.
Join us for the next meeting of the Joseph Campbell Mythological Round Table Group on the 3rd floor of the HuB at 5:55pm on Wednesday, January 28 as we continue to discover the power of myth.

Child custody in Queens refers to who raises the child and makes important decisions about medical care, education and their religious beliefs. Child custody laws in Queens are outlined in the state's child custody laws.
Child custody issues can arise for parents who were married or not married at the time the child was born. Both unwed and once married parents have the same options when it comes to child custody. The only added step is that an unwed parent may have to establish paternity before pursuing child custody.
What is Physical Custody in queens?
Physical custody gives a parent the right to live with their child. It may sound odd, but it is true. This type of child custody is often called residential custody because a judge decides if a child lives with one or both parents.
Joint custody is granted to both parents. The child will live with both parents according to a plan agreed to or decided by the court. For example, a child may live with their mother during the week and their father during the weekend.
Sole custody is granted to one parent. The child will live only with one parent. This means the other parent would become the non-custodial parent. As the non-custodial parent, you would be restricted to spending time with your child. Your visits may be supervised or unsupervised. Unsupervised visitations are typically allowed when there is some domestic violence, sexual abuse or drug addiction.
What is Legal Child Custody in Queens?
Legal child custody is the legal right to make decisions about how a child is raised. This means making decisions about where they attend school, what religious faith they will practice, and type of medical care received. A judge will grant either sole or joint child custody.
Joint child custody will give a parent the right to make all decisions about their child. If one parent wants to move from Queens to Alaska, the other parent can say no or take the matter to family court. Each parent has the right to make these decisions.
However, sole legal custody is only granted to one parent. This means the other parent cannot make legal decisions about how their child is raised.
Does a Mother have the Upper Hand in Child Support Cases in Queens?
No. The court does not give any parent the "upper hand" in child custody cases. Instead, New York family court follows the standard of what's best for the child. This standard puts the needs of the child before what the parent desires. A judge over a child custody case will use the following issues outlined in the best interest of the child standard:
• Each parent's ability to care for their child
• Each parent's ability to get along with the other parent
• The child wishes (if they are at an age to understand the child custody issue)

Darkness Unbound
(Metal Blade Records)
Swedish death metallers Demonical just couldn't win for losing as far as I was concerned. Though many people out there considered themselves fans of the act and right up there with the best of Swedish death metal, I always considered them to be quite a run of the mill band. However, the new album sees the band much stronger and with a reinforced sense of vigor. Yes, Darkness Unbound is that Demonical disc that I've been waiting for, with admittedly short but diabolical overtures to all things of the satanic order. The album comes thundering in and never lets up, replete with battering drums, burning riffs, eerie melodies and vocal gravel that we all should be pleasantly familiar with. Plain and simple, this is death metal in a nutshell. It might as well have a small yellow sticker on it that says "This Is Death Metal" because that's definitely what I'm hearing here. This thing launches forth thunderous grooves and powerful chugs like the ones you'll find on "King Of All." As a matter of fact, "King Of All" is one single track that I think is one of the best I've ever heard from these guys, it's easily right up there with one of my personal favorite Bloodbath tracks, "Brave New Hell." Pound for pound, these guys definitely have death metal down and prove that they still pack enough punch to sledgehammer your fucking face in. Whether these guys prefer to subject you to slow torture ("The Great Praise") or an all-out ravaging of your frail flesh; ("The Order," "Deathcrown") or perhaps just a quick lashing, ("An Endless Celebration"), there is plenty of memorable death metal on a disc that definitely proves its namesake. This is without a fucking doubt, Darkness Unbound. You'll be playing it for years to come. (Eric May)

BANGKOK, Thailand The two men linked to the killing of Palestinian lecturer Dr Fadi Mohammed Al Batsch last month were believed to have used fake passports from Serbia and Montenegro to enter Malaysia.
After executing the precision-timed hit on the Hamas-linked academician on April 21, the alleged assassins slipped into Thailand using illegal routes in the Malaysia-Thailand border.
"The Malaysian police have sought the cooperation of the Royal Thai Police to nab the duo. A high-ranking Bukit Aman officer flew to Bangkok recently to meet Royal Thai Police officers," a security source told Bernama here today.
Bernama was made to understand that the senior officer was Criminal Investigation Department (CID) (Operation and Intelligence) deputy head, Huzir Mohamed, who held meetings with his Thai counterpart yesterday.
Huzir also gave a briefing on the latest development surrounding the high-profile murder.
The source declined to say whether the assassins were still in Thailand.
Today, Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Mohamad Fuzi Harun confirmed that Bukit Aman had sent a special team to Bangkok in relation to the investigations into Fadi's killing.
He said the police also sought cooperation from their counterparts in Singapore and the Philippines in efforts to track down the assassins.
On April 21, the 35-year-old electrical engineering lecturer was gunned down by two "Middle Eastern" looking men atop a high-powered motorcycle as the victim was walking from his Setapak condominium to a nearby mosque for dawn prayers.
The assassins were believed to have fired 10 times in the direction of the lecturer.
The murder attracted worldwide attention due to Fadi's alleged links with Hamas and the victim's effort to develop capabilities in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV).
The Palestinian's family has blamed the Israeli spy/intelligence agency, Mossad, as having orchestrated Fadi's murder as the agency was known to have carried out similar assassinations on Hamas and other Palestinian resistance leaders in the past.
The lecturer who had been living in Malaysia for almost 10 years was married with three children and was an expert on alternative energy.
He was employed by the University Kuala Lumpur-British Malaysia Institute (UNIKL-BMI).
His body was returned to Gaza for burial.
The security source who declined to reveal his identity also told Bernama that the two suspects were alleged to have entered Malaysia sometime in early February based on their house rental records.
He suspects both men fled to Thailand not long after the murder to return to the "country of origin", whom he declined to identify.
On whether the assassins were related to Israel's spy agency as speculated by many, including the victim's family, the source would only say that the men were "highly professional" in their fields.
"Both men are related to interested parties in the Arab-Israeli conflict," he said.

HARTFORD — The leaders of Connecticut's public colleges and universities asked lawmakers Wednesday to spare their schools major budget cuts, warning more reductions could mean the elimination of academic and athletic programs and even shuttering some campuses.
UConn President Susan Herbst and Mark Ojakian, president of the Board of Regents for Higher Education, testified before the General Assembly's Appropriations Committee, which is grappling with how to handle a state budget shortfall of about $500 million for the next fiscal year. UConn bused in students for the hearing.
Democratic Gov. Dannel P. Malloy has proposed 5.75 percent cuts in direct state funding to the schools. Herbst said that would mean a $31.4 million cut to UConn and its health system, bringing reductions over the last seven years to $139 million and wiping out revenue generated by recent tuition hikes.
The 17 institutions that make up the Connecticut State Colleges & Universities system would see a $26 million cut.
"My fear is that this cycle will grow worse, resulting in a shrinking faculty, the closure of academic programs or departments or even entire schools," Herbst said. "It could mean closing regional campuses, significantly reducing financial aid and cutting sports, among other possibilities."
She argued the school has a $3.4 billion positive economic impact on the state and is "one of the most important tools Connecticut has to help build its economic future."
State funding provides about 30 percent of UConn's budget and about 40 percent in the Connecticut State Colleges & Universities system.
Ojakian said the universities and community colleges in his system have already reduced library services, eliminated many full-time faculty positions, cut career counseling and eliminated many weekend classes for working students.
"Cuts could lead to larger class sizes, reduced time or no time for individual instruction or advising and fewer if any office hours available for students," he said.
Lawmakers expressed sympathy and support for the schools. But state Rep. Whit Betts, R-Bristol, told Ojakian deep cuts may be inevitable.
"We have reached that point in fiscal reality where we simply don't have money," he said. "It's not a judgment on whether we should invest in this."

Many people have already asked us what a loan calculator can actually be used for, though the answer is simple: it can be used to calculate certain parameters of a loan. Since this is not a very detailed answer, we will explain a little more now.
Loan calculator
Of course, there are many loan calculator, because every bank is different, these is also in addition to various financial websites can form the Hifeck according to your own taste. What is common to all of them, however, is that you need to set some data on them to calculate the parameters of the loan you want to borrow. If this is the first time you are using a credit calculator, you will see that the maturity and amount requested are mandatory. In some cases, we can also specify our income and choose from other options. Carefully review each option to get the full picture of your credit product! For example, for real estate loans, you can specify whether you want to buy a used or new home from your borrowed loan, and for credit cards, you can also specify what benefits you would like to receive in addition to your credit line and monthly spending.
Repayment installment
If all is done, the loan calculator will calculate what your monthly repayment installment, interest rate, APR, and the total repayment will be, taking into account your income and promotions. Based on these, we can easily decide whether a bank loan is right for us or if we are looking at a few more offers.
It is also helpful to compare the loans on a specialized site before using the loan calculator. Fortunately, The Luke and the Lomas is such a site! With us, you can choose from the best deals for those who want to borrow and quickly get the loan calculator of the bank of your choice, just a few steps away and start applying for a loan!

(a sample Chapter from our books)
As the Gold Rush raged in Northern California, a band of bloodthirsty pirates flew the skull and crossbones on South Coronado Island and used a cave now known as Pirate Cave as their hideout. Ships traveling south from San Francisco carried rich cargos of newly mined gold to the East and their course lay directly abeam of the pirate's nest.
The leader of these thieves was Jose Alverez, his origin either a castoff from LaFitte's hearty lads banished from New Orleans or a deserter from the Mexican Army. Regardless of his true past, it is known that he stole a schooner from a Mexican port, and after arming it with plenty of cannon and saber wielding scallywags, he made his base on the Coronados. In a clever game of hide and seek, he set up business in pursuit of the buccaneer's goal of fortune and fame.
The fame factor was to elude these troops, as the barbarous practice of taking no prisoners and scuttling every vessel they assaulted made tracing their actions impossible. It was assumed by the shipping companies that the missing ships were the victims of foul weather or unseen shoals, and they were reported as lost at sea.
A vessel named the Chelsea was apprehended and as the passengers and crew were being killed, a cabin boy named Tom Bolter proclaimed, perhaps in earnest, or in the desire to save his bones from Davey Jones, that he had long admired Alverez and wished to prove himself a worthy addition to the cutlery compadres. This feigned or real adulation fed the ego of Alverez and in addition, the fact that young Tom knew the sailing dates of future shipments of riches, cajoled Alverez into breaking his vow of murdering all and he spared Tom his life. This breach in the pirate's take no prisoner's code would prove to be their undoing.
After two devastating raids of ships, tipped off due to Tom's information, the cabin boy considered himself now a pirate of great repute and questioned Alverez about the size of his share of the captured booty. An argument and fight ensued and Tom only escaped with his life due to the fact that he had information valuable to Alverez. You see, Tom had smartly only given enough information to make himself still useful if in the event he became expendable.
Tom was left in the cave under armed guard while the pirate ship embarked to plunder the next galleon to arrive from San Francisco, using Tom's information of the next ship's expected passage of the islands. The second day after his imprisoning, the guards lapsed in their assignment of duty, and Tom succeeded in freeing himself and killed them both.
He set sail in the pirate's fishing dory, loaded with as much treasure as she would hold, and soon arrived at the waterfront hide houses of San Diego harbor. His arrival prompted much attention from the sailors collected to greet his landing. He was invited to tell his story aboard the Boston vessel Grendo. His claims of buccaneering braggadocio brought exclamations of amusement and disbelief from the assembled sea dogs. They demanded proof in the form of captured riches and were all sobered by the display of loot Tom produced to back up his story.
The hide houses and whaling station on Point Loma were solicited for any volunteers wishing to form a raiding party to sail to the Coronados and rout the returning pirate brigade. An overwhelming response to the call saw a formidable force of San Diego wharf rats boarding the Grendo for the Islands. When they arrived, the Grendo was hidden behind the South Island with only a skeleton crew, the main body of the others stationed on the island out of sight in wait. Tom assumed his position as if he were still under guard in the cave, with a man to pose as guard.
Upon their return, the pirates dragged their plunder up the cliffs to the hideout, leaving their arms aboard the schooner. Taken completely by surprise, the struggle was soon over and the pirates, bound and beaten, were loaded onto the ships for the sail to San Diego and an appointment with the yardarms. As the lot were hanged, more than a few harsh words of condemnation were heard to be cast in Tom Bolter's direction.
The pirate schooner was sold, its proceeds and the captured loot were divided amongst the men who had brought the criminals to justice. Tom demanded the largest share, making him a man of wealth and stature and to some a hero.
Tom Bolter's future was a dark and dreary one due to the stigma bestowed upon him by the ghosts of his betrayal, and he was soon the scourge of the waterfront clan. He became such an onerous presence, that many felt he should have been hanged with the rest. A day came when he disappeared. Some rumors had him fleeing to Mexico to escape the pirate curse, but no one missed him, nor did anyone care that he was gone.
Be careful not to venture too close to South Coronado Island, matey, as his ghost may be watching you through an old spyglass from Pirate Cave, evaluating your new treasures, as you travel south to the 90 Day Yacht Club...

The "Land of Little Rain" as Baja has been called is easily distinguished from the rest of the planet in satellite photos daily transmitted back to earth by our weather agencies. The striking image of the peninsula's unique shape is always visible as the surrounding regions are shrouded by cloud cover and moist weather patterns. The coastline, sierras, deserts and arroyos which define the Baja landscape are plainly etched in the images through the clear skies that grace the area more than any other location in adjacent earth zones. The chances of a day without rain in Baja are 95%, beating out Hawaii's 84% and Florida's 87%. Three variables influence temperatures at any given Baja location: elevation, latitude, and longitude. The higher you climb the cooler it gets, the farther south you go the warmer it gets, and the Pacific side is always cooler that the Sea of Cortez side. According to the travel publication Conde Nast Traveler, Baja California is the best dollar value per hour of sunshine of any area west of Denver.
Because of prevailing ocean currents, the Pacific coast experiences the least overall variation in temperatures, staying cool all year long. From March to July, the California Current flows southward along the coast, bringing cooler temperatures from the north that moderate seasonal atmospheric warming, while the Davidson Current warms the coast with its northward flow in December and January. These seasonal currents stabilize the air temperature so that Ensenada averages a sunny 68° in August and a pleasant dry 54° in January. The only occasional Ensenada cloud cover is caused by a rare south migrating winter northern storm or a north migrating summer southern born hurricane/tropical storm. These influences usually dissipate quickly and within a few days the normal sunny weather pattern resumes.
Along much of the mid-Pacific coast the cool air brought in by the California Current meets the warm air from the interior of the peninsula, this interaction can result in fog masses that can sometimes extend over 20 miles inland. During winter months the Pacific coast south of Magdalena Bay to Cabo San Lucas enjoys the warmest temperatures of any Pacific coastal region due to its relative protection from cool winter northern winds.
The Sea of Cortez has its own set of currents that are fed from the south by the waters of the South Pacific. The current flows in a counter clockwise direction north from Acapulco along the Mexican mainland coast and then south to La Paz along the Baja Peninsular coast. As a result of this exchange of warm water flow the Sea enjoys an average sea temperature of 74° as compared to the average sea temperature of 64° on the Pacific side of the Baja. The weather along the Cortez coast is mild and sunny all winter long. Summer temperatures are high ranging from 82° in the north to 100° in the south. La Paz is normally warmer than San Felipe but cooler than Loreto. The high rate of evaporation at the north end of the Sea contributes to the warmer air temperatures. This combination of warm air and sea temperatures means the Sea of Cortez is classified as tropical over its entire length.
The global position of Baja California defines its annual weather
patterns. It is out of reach of the major weather systems that influence
climate in North America. Northwesterly Eurasian and Artic storms bring
rain and snow to the American Northwest and Midwest all winter long, while
tropical storms crossing the South Pacific from Asia and hurricanes
originating in Central America wreak havoc along the lower coast of Mexico
and Central America in summer. Baja California only catches the outer
edges of these storms and its climates therefore ranges from desert to
tropical to a pleasant and always comfortable Mediterranean ambiance. In
some areas overlapping micro climes defy classification; combining
elements of semiarid, arid, subtropical and tropical daily moods which
backdrop your always agreeable Baja California experience.

A part of the Ensenada allure is its tendency to be event driven, rather than relying on specific sites of tourism. We enjoy annual celebrations; which include Carnival, Cinco de Mayo, wine festivals, surfing contests, sailboat races, fishing tournaments, off-road car races, and the migration of the gray whale. If your schedule permits we suggest a more sedate mid-week visit as this area is either a busy tourist center or a small quiet town, dependant on whether you visit on a Saturday or a Wednesday.
My latent survivalist psychology has me here at Marina Coral wondering when the next shoe will drop in this panorama which is "our common life existence". It is now late September and as the marina again mid-week becomes the property of the few that reside here more or less constantly dependent on scheduling with business and family concerns north of the border; earthquakes are rumbling Mount Saint Helens, separate hurricanes two weeks apart are taking the same path and making landfall at exactly the same coastal spot, and a pending national election's mere performance is thought to conceivably trigger another terrorist attack.
I sit in my cockpit sipping a ballena (translated whale, quart size bottle-simply the best beer value in Mexico at a dollar a bottle) of Pacifico and with a bag of cacahuates (translated peanuts, Sabritas salados type-simply the best peanuts at a dollar for a big bag) and I thank the forces that be (translated our karmic spiritual just deserts) for the quietude of this tranquility on the docks after a busy summer. A summer hectic with fisherman, firecrackers and fickle, indecisive and vacillating lawmakers intent on changing the 90-day offshore delivered yacht law. But as they say, "be careful for what you wish for" as the effects of the new one year statute already are being widely viewed and editorialized as negative for the marine yacht sales industry. But not for Ensenada… as the moorage space waiting list increases…
I worked on the NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) survey ship McArthur in the Colombia River performing tide survey work in 1980 as an Electronic Technician just after the last Mount Saint Helens blast and witnessed first hand the effects of that disaster. Whether that disaster and other potential disasters have a latent effect on my boats current list of equipment, I don't know. Aboard my sailboat I have solar and wind generated power, a 25-amp Trace inverter, 800 amp-hours of battery power, air conditioning, a water maker and a germicidal water purifier, 4 computers (I sold another two this past summer), icemaker, and night vision. This in addition to the surround sound TV and stereo, 4 GPS units, 4 radios, refrigeration, auto pilot, propane barbeque, 3 depth sounders and radar we are all accustomed to having aboard. Also, I have enough tools and spare parts to perhaps build another small boat to tow behind the dingy suspended on my davits.
Having all this available, ready and waiting to kick away from the dock at a moments notice is a good thing as our world situation becomes further demented with potential threat and calamity. I will simply go further south and live on tortillas and cheese and visit little fishing villages for lobster and swordfish if the preverbal "stuff" hits the fan stateside. This then is another positive to having your yacht parked in Ensenada as you and your family can head south and join me in a safe escape south to Baja coves scarcely charted and rarely explored.
If, lets say, a nuclear reactor gets hit, or perhaps a dirty bomb is exploded, or if the petroleum supply gets interrupted (in that case, I hope you have a sailboat or a full tank of fuel) having your boat south in Mexico for a year as a failsafe get away is again, "a good thing". This scenario is not so far fetched if you have you ear to the ground and are evaluating current events with our new found perceptive vision made more acute by the events of 9-11-2001. Banditos worldwide are on the loose and whatever we can do to protect our families and ourselves is totally warranted and acceptable behavior not to be viewed as wild paranoia. If you are in Ensenada for a year or so saving a bit of currency on your new yacht purchase, I advise you to spend a little of that saved cash to equip your new yacht with some extra equipment and provisions that may prove to come in handy if the crazies are again let out of the box.
I love being a writer, what I can't stand is the paperwork
Bahia de San Quintin, the second largest bay next to Ensenada in the northern Baja, is situated about 114 miles by road south of Ensenada. Following the shoreline, the town of San Quintin is located east inland of Punta San Quintin on the Pacific Ocean. It is interesting to note that this bay that is now considered a lagoon would closely resemble San Diego Bay if properly dredged and manicured. Nowadays, the bay and estuary can only accommodate small ships and craft of shallow draft due to the sand bars and silting that is the predominant characteristic of the inshore waters. It was not too many years ago that steamships of greater draft could anchor in front of the town roadstead. If visiting the area by boat today, the inner bay can be navigated with the help of a local resident in a small boat with current local knowledge of the bottom contours.
In 1887 it was noted that a little vessel of eight to ten tons would have difficulty passing the bar to the inner harbor. Twenty years later a plan to dredge the area was afoot, and no doubt carried out, as shortly thereafter a pier was built near the town. But by 1912, it is reported that the regular steamer had to anchor 5 miles from the town, and cargo had to be delivered by means of smaller craft.
The coastal plains of San Quintin, averaging several miles in width and stretching about 20 miles north and nearly as far south of the town site, was the most expansive of the northern Baja frontera. It contained a total area of 100 square miles, and in aboriginal times, was one of the most densely settled areas of Baja California. Although salt had been gathered from nearby salinas and traded with the occasional trading vessel and sea otter hunters that visited, the area was considered uninhabitable by the mission friars due to the lack of sufficient fresh water. Interestingly, the first commercial exploitation of these salt beds in 1856 is said to have marked the first time in history that the frontera had ever produced any revenue for the national treasury.
In the mid-1880's, the Colonia Romero Rubio was established at San Quintin with 31 Mexican, 11 American, and 17 European colonists. For a time of prosperity the population continued to grow to a reported 200 colonists by the year 1891. The original plan called for the raising of wheat by dry farming, but unfortunately it was found that the growth of grain crops was impossible unless the season included an unusually wet winter.
By 1905, it was observed that many houses large and small, elaborate and simple, water tanks and wire fenced developments had been abandoned for a number of years. A large flour mill at the extreme head of the bay a mile above town had been constructed, built to grind the wheat the colonists were to produce. A railhead was planed to serve a line northward to Southern California, to ship the grain, but only scraps of rail were found to be successfully laid in place. San Quintin was the local headquarters of the colony, which extended more than 10 miles up and down the coast.
In 1921 the population was listed at 223 as the area stagnated in growth due to the lack of agricultural development. A number of deserted frame houses marked the failure of the colonization efforts, and one or two adjoining rancheros were the only occupied lands in addition to the considerable area that was once colonized.
Today, except for the pilings of the ruined pier, the old cemetery and its markers with English names, and a few relics of machinery; little remains of the Colonia Romero Rubio and the old town of San Quintin. But, current day San Quintin is a colorful tourist destination with sandy beaches and sand dunes along the ocean. It is also a paradise for outdoor sport aficionados with excellent hiking, hunting, clamming, kayaking, bird watching and fishing. Historical landmarks include the above mentioned Old Mill, Old Pier and the English Cemetery, all remnants of the failed 19th century British attempt at colonial control of the area. Today, San Quintin provides a wide assortment of restaurants, hotels, RV parks, stores and services.
