Actually I read it with great interest... I know the ports and points that you mentioned... and look forward to visiting those same locations in the future. I have been to some of those places by bicycle, and of course have done the Ensenada-San Diego route many times by bike, car and boat.
Yeah these guys can be tough... Heck I thought it was quite grand when Tom Young finally started using paragraphs in his multipicture posts...
But all in all, I bet anyone here would buy anyone here a beer... especially for a good story.
