That’s a formidable looking force right there.

Look at the professional stance that the Mexican “Mitch Buchannon” has on his jet ski.
Amazing.

Kind of a sexist staff with no women though. There has got to be a Mexican “C.J. Parker” out there somewhere in town.

So before the virus they could have given DOS fucks if you drowned but after the virus we have life guards and YET SKYS....

I'm still confused why they need YET SKYS...

To make sure from the waters edge that you are wearing a mask.

A lot of beach towns use Jet Skis as part of the life guards support. They also have purchased a portable Life Guard tower as well. I find nothing negative in this activity. Steve....mask are not required on the beach unless you are interacting with people outside of your group.

This is why they need the waverunners to get to the tourist easier. Here is an amusing video in Puerto Penasco Watch from 10:00 minutes on

Kiko going to love this one, most of these wanna be cops are from different towns in Sonora so they come and take advantage of anyone they spot here with American plates, they stay in the small motels on Calle novena where the seedey night people are, street lies parallel to Calle 13 is why you should not frequent 13.

Penasco Beach Patrol in hot pursuit of a man who forgot his mask up in his condo, and is compounding his criminal behavior by standing 5ft from a stranger instead of the state imposed 6ft

First it's Baywatch next is the Snack Patrol so keep your kids close by.

They are passing a law that will prohibit the sale of junk food to minors in Sonora (I guess junk food will become the new contraband of Mexico with dealers on every corner waiting for kids)

The initiative contemplates a fine of 8,700 to 21,750 pesos, to establishments that ignore and will close the establishment until the sanction is paid.

Good thing no one was driving.

the lady that got hit died on the beach Los Cabos, Baja California Sur

This is here in Puerto Penasco

At least two people drowned, one more is missing and a woman has been transferred to a hospital in the towns, after they were riding a jet ski in the sea of La Cholla Bay, being swept away by the current.

The deceased are two men of more than 40 years respectively, and a woman is the one who has been transferred to the General Hospital of this port.
The missing person is wanted by elements of the Navy.
Apparently all the people are residents of Puerto Peñasco.

Yes, and you can see her receiving CPR toward the end of the video.

2 brothers were tragically taken falling off jet ski without life vests from what I can gather. People tried to help but the current was running fast.

Probably PELICAN POINT. I personally saved two people's lives and ED B can attest to the story as we later found out that he's friends with them. Right off the point on high tide weekends that whole area off of the point becomes super turbulent. I call it the WASHING MACHINE. If the tide is going out and you're swimming there you have to pay attention to how far you're getting off of the rocks because you're not going to be able to swim against it. Secondly, if you EVER land in water without life jacket and are tired or can't swim against the current you need to turn onto your back and float. This will save your life. I'm assuming these people sadly didn't know how to swim or else they panicked and kept trying to swim and took water into the lungs. Don't panic, turn onto back and float. It's something they teach 2 year olds in swim class. The other method is never try to swim directly back to the shore into the current. It's a proper technique to swim parallel to the shore as you gradually cut the angle back into shore.

The people I saved that were friends with ED B went for a swim with no life jackets and just a small inter tube that they had put their small dog in. The current pulled them too far off of the rocks and the tide was going out on a big tide weekend. Recipe for disaster. From a distance I did NOT think it was normal for people to be swimming that far off of the rocks and had the intuition to paddle over to investigate. Sure enough they were now a hundred yards off of the rocks being pulled out to sea. They were frantically trying to swim with one arm and hang on to the tube and dog with the other. I pulled up and the lady was hysterical. I told them don't worry I will make sure you get back on land just calm down and I immediately told them that please do not try and hang on to the kayak or tip me because I'm paralyzed from waist down and then we'd all be fucked. They listened to everything I told them. I tied a rope to them and the tube. I bet I paddled a quarter of a mile towing a 2 people and a dog behind the kayak with just ARM POWER. Every stroke felt like max effort and I did that for FORTY FIVE MINUTES.... I was pouring sweet off of my face. At one point the lady thought I wasn't going to be able to do it because she said it looked like we weren't even moving but I had the good GPS fish finder on the yak that day and I reassured her that I was making progress at a meager .5 MPH.... Sure enough I got them back on the rocks. Years later at a house gathering in CB I meet ED B and we start talking about kayak and fishing and what not. I start telling him this story and he goes wait, YOU'RE THE GUY?! The whole evening other's that knew this couple were coming up to talk about how I was the guy they'd heard about in this story who saved their friends. Yep... LOL

This was a real life or death situation. Not one where maybe they would have died. They would have died. Period.

Edited with updated info:

It happened to the right of JJ's from the look of the pic, homes on the bay and Comp hill is visible.
2 people fell off a Jet ski (guy and girl) or were hit by another Jet ski? that put them into the water? Still some confusion

2 guy's swam out to help the people from the Jet ski who were struggling in the water without life vests on.
They saved the girl, they went out again for the guy and all 3 were swept out by the fast out going current and drowned.
The girl is in the hospital.

Awesome Story MJ! I towed some drunks (friends) from a house boat to the Marina Bar at Lake Powell in a kayak and had to get help to pee the next day.

Looks more like Tucson Beach to me. Isn't that the Pinacates in the distant haze? Could be black mountain but hard to see with that photo.

If it happened in the bay I'm not buying the swept out part. Even on extreme tide weekends the water isn't moving too hard over by JJ's... Now Pelican or Pinto Point, way different. The water does suck and swirl over there. If it happened in the bay it's possible that they were hit unconscious with no jacket, you're not floating. Unless they didn't know how to swim. Sad to hear though. Small community in Cholla Bay. Wonder if they were related to anyone in CB?

Joe, that's what the translated post said, The post also said they were from Penasco.
No life vests, perhaps drinking involved and poor swimming abilities, could have been part of this sad situation.
Who really knows

They were heroes the 2 brothers that drowned saving the tourists on jet ski.

Damn. So they were hanging out and tried to help and drowned? That's pretty rough.

Yea so I saw more pics and it was inside the bay in front of JJ's boat ramp area. It has to be a lack of swimming ability. No current over there. Sad for sure. Especially if these guys were just trying to help.

I hauled more than a few out of the water while living in S Cali and most of them were calm, almost, but the two that were frantic were the most memorable and dangerous. They'd stand on your head to save themselves.
