Panga boat abandoned on North County beach

June 27, 2014

panga 13An abandoned panga boat was found on a beach approximately four miles north of the Piedras Blancas Light Station on Thursday.

At about 1:30 p.m., a California Parks ranger driving on Highway 1 noticed a break in the fence line. Upon further investigation, he discovered a panga boat beached on the sand.

Investigators believe. based on the evidence they found at the scene such as articles of clothing, that the boat may have been transporting both people and narcotics. However, no drugs were discovered.

The latest panga is the third discovered in San Luis Obispo County this year and the 13 since early 2012. The investigation is ongoing.

I’ve noticed that in all the photos of these landings, there’s a bunch of people, on the clock, standing around looking at the boats and obviously shooting the breeze. Gotta get me a government job in my next life. Well , maybe not, I like the satisfaction of actually working hard.

They don,t sell the boats , they chop them up , fearing that they would make there way back for another trip , me while theres got to be a BUNCH of nice outboards in storage somewhere, probably end up on the auction block sometime.

Someone in DC needs to sit down with the leaders of all of the relevant nations to our south and see if we can’t work together to shut this trend down. I read today that there have been increased incidents of members of the Mexican military crossing our border and firing on American citizens. Two units from the US border patrol were fired on from a Mexican Helicopter last week. The suspicion is that the Mexican military is doing this to occupy the time and attention of our Border patrol to clear a path for the drug cartels. The US border patrol union has petitioned the white house to make it clear to Mexico that this will not be tolerated. They have not hear back as of yet. Every boat that brings a load of Pot to our shores also brings a few bad guy’s along with it. Where they go from there and what they do, we do not know. This is an on going quiet invasion…no doubt about it. It has to stop!

I guess we’re just lucky that we don’t have ships off shore sending boat load after boat load to land here, similar to what’s happening in South Texas currently being overwhelmed by unaccompanied minors from Central America.


Meanwhile, this story, http://lasvegas.cbslocal.com/2014/06/27/report-mexican-military-chopper-crosses-into-us-shoots-at-border-agents/. I’ve noticed that the whimpy national news has started reporting only that shots were fired. The local sources say that shots were fired at the Border Patrol. The Mexican army probably thought the BP agents were their drug smugglers. Scary for our folks. Can you imagine the outrage if our agents had fired at the Mexican army in Mexico?

We don’t need the ships to unload them in California. Our Commander and Chief is going to send them first class, by plane from Texas to California, Escondido and El Centro will be getting the first wave of these illegals. They are going to cost this state a bucket of money as they are minors and will all need assistance, language assistance, medical. food, housing, clothing, counseling for what they endured at the hand of the smugglers who were paid to bring them here, probably by our own government, as it will create a whole new level of government employment. Turn the plane around and send them back to their native land, these kids need to go home not to child protective services, aka, juvenile prisons! What kind of people would send these little kids on these ventures?

Thats a very nice boat! should fetch a pretty good bid at the auction.

I’d check the Sat Data to which ships were in the shipping lane. I suspect big ship off loading what ever then a short run to the beach.

So much for the $342,813 that the County supervisors approved for a “27-foot Defender Class response boat so the department can tow drug-smuggling panga boats from the coastline once they’ve beached”

Did the response boat arrived in time for the tow job.


Doesn’t sound like they found any drugs on the Panga so it was obviously offloaded.


Sounds like the coast is every bit as porous as Sheriff Parkinson’s jail where heroin is being snuck under the bars.

Sounds like we’ve got some additional productive and industrious residents – soon to be citizens – here in California. Hint to the investigators, they took the drugs with them.

Amnesty at it’s finest.
