At a time when Baja officials are in the throes of a battle with organized crime, Tom Gatch has written a wonderful book about a place that always has delivered terrific adventures to many of us. Gatch, who is completing a home in Ensenada, writes about Baja for The Log and Baja Times, and has used a lifetime of information he has gleaned in Baja to provide readers with useful tips about a land he loves. It's a well-organized, well-written book that mixes in maps, GPS way points, angling techniques, tackle suggestions, tips for picking a guide and even recipes of authentic Baja dishes. In the section “A Taste of Baja,” Gatch gives recipes for mussels, shrimp, salsa and fish tacos, including fish tacos San Felipe-style and “South of the Border Beer Batter. Gatch captures people well when he writes personality profiles of several Baja characters, including San Diego's Gary Graham, who recently was named to the California Outdoors Hall of Fame. And his story of Baja bush pilot Rick Roessler rescuing two Americans who crashed their plane into the Sea of Cortez near Bahia de Los Angeles is a classic Baja adventure. read more
