San Carlos is an interesting town. I would say that it is pretty typical of most of the smaller towns in Baja, maybe one or two paved roads, a market, a hardware store and a few other stores. Pretty basic, just the things one would need to live. Most people that come through here don’t [...]

I got to go out on a Ponga ride yesterday, for the first time. I don’t think that I’ve talked about Ponga’s here yet, so let me give you some info on them. Ponga is a type of boat used mostly by fisherman, but fisherman who offer whale watching trips in Mag Bay use them [...]

Going all of these places where there is literally a treasure trove of pictures to be taken, has finally gotten to me. I know that with the things I’ve seen and the people I know I can turn out some decent pictures, if only I try. Up to this point the limiting factor has been [...]

Coming up around Cabo on to the Pacific side of the peninsula got rough. As rough as we can put guests through, anyways. The winds were blowing at 50 mph with an eight foot swell and we were rocking and rolling pretty good. Most of the guests took their sea sickness pills and did all [...]

Gorda Banks, just west of Cabo has been a hot bed of Humpback activity the last couple of weeks. This morning we had whales jumping out of the water all around the boat. We just stood there in awe as whales were playing in every direction. This made the pictures come pretty easy. I’m also [...]

I’ve been thinking quite a bit about all of the good things I can do to my latest project, and the list is coming along nicely. Going through the process of a build up before hand in your mind and on paper is the best way. It keeps the project on track and gives it [...]

This is my favorite place in all of Baja. With out a doubt. If I could come down here on a solo adventure that only had time to visit one place, this would be it. Loreto and the area around it…….I have no words to describe it. How about some pictures?

With the new van I’ll need to put together a bunch of items to have handy while on my journeys. Part of the appeal of having the van is that I can load it up with just about everything that I might need in any situation. Having the whole back area open means that the [...]

We had a pretty good day in La Paz yesterday. The weather was great, and town was pretty crowded. Carnival is going on right now so they have rides and music and all kinds of cool things going on all along the Malecon. The Malecon is the main strip along the water front in town. [...]
