Several days before the tournament hurricane Paul zigged in the Pacific Ocean and headed straight for the Baja Peninsula. The Bisbee's tournament organizers were faced with the very real fact that a hurricane was on a collision course for the city and scheduled to arrive on the day of Registration. As the threat increased the Port Captain closed the port of Cabo San Lucas to all boating traffic for an undetermined amount of time.
At the last minute the hurricane took another change in course and ended up passing south of the peninsula. Although the day was stormy, tournament registration and the opening ceremonies took place as scheduled with all of the traditional Bisbee flair, thanks in part to the management at Puerto Paraiso who let us move inside the mall. However, the first of the three scheduled fishing days was canceled.
