We just recieved this report from our YachtPal Dennis Gade on S/V Dolce Vita, warning cruisers about the men in black masks who approached his sailboat with machine guns and assault rifles while anchored in Bahia San Quintin,

When John Long left the dock in San Francisco Bay last November, he hoped to sail his 48' steel ketch, Culin to Ireland, and be one of the oldest single handers to cross the Atlantic. Celebrations were already being planned for his arrival in County Cork, but on February 3^rd, while heading for Panama, his body was recovered from Mexican waters.
