North lighthouse excursions?

[mjatkins]

Have a couple of friends in town who would like to do a trip up to the north lighthouse. Does anyone know of a tour operator that goes up there?

Adrian from Especias was doing this tour. You can get him at the restaurant or at the kite surfing shop around the corner from there.

PM sent with the Adrian letter.

How neat. I didn't think anyone went all the way...?

[cvchief]

Well I don't know if goes all the way....

But I think he goes to the northern lighthouse. I hear it is a GREAT trip. It is on my list of things to do.

I've read old articles and seen pics of the lighthouse, but after reading of Dave's attempt - didn't think it possible anymore?

Ah, there is the disconnect. Adrian goes by water.

Thanks, I've put my people in touch with Adrian. Hopefully they will get it all worked out and have a great time.

The fact is that there is NO way to get to the northern lighthouse by land, and if by sea you better have a damned sturdy boat with Epirb and more.

I remember your tale about that in this thread: Hiking Trails in Cozumel I guess they never repair the road since the lighthouse is no longer used, so it must be in dreadful shape after years.

I'd want a sturdy boat for sure, with twin engines, and a backup plan - but wonder if anyone could hear a radio from the other side? I have a portable marine radio that can transmit on 1 watt or for a shorter time on 5 watts but doubt it'd reach.

Risks are risks tho, and sometimes we take a few. I bicycled the trails at Coba, and if I'd had an event or accident there, I'd sure it'd be a long time before I'd be in a hospital. The same for some of the state park hikes I take with my kids. I probably should get a PLB at least, even tho rescue could still take a lot of time.
