This here is my last trip before heading back to the states, and it’s been pretty rough. The wind has been going pretty strong for the last two days, making the seas a bit rough and the sea life hard to find. We’ve made our way down from San Carlos to the other side of [...]

I’ve been out here for 7 weeks now, and it’s about time to go home. 7 weeks at sea, working 16 to 20 hour days is pretty tiring!
We pull into San Carlos tomorrow, and with that it will be my last time this year. From here on out, it will be the same. The last [...]

After all the times I’ve been to Santa Rosalia, I’ve never actually been to the town. Yesterday I actually got to go out and take a look around and I found a really cool little town.
There’s actually quite a bit going on here, which is probably due to the fact that the town is right [...]

After living and working in the Sea of Cortez for going on three years now I’ve become totally fascinated with it. Reading Steinbeck’s account of traveling over the same waters and visiting some of the very same places I go regularly is quite interesting. All that I can say is “My, oh my. [...]

It’s been a long rotation for me, six weeks now with this trip and then one more after it before I go home. Luckily, the National Geographic Sea Bird has been kind to me. Most of the things that have popped up haven’t been horribly bad, and the ones that have been rough were spread [...]

What do you think? Post a comment and let me know!!

There haven’t been too many days I’ve been down here in Baja where it’s rained on me. Yesterday in La Paz was the first time I’d ever been in town when it happened. I really don’t know why it was such a big deal, but I guess it was just the fact that it [...]

This place is just amazing! Crazy views and dolphins everywhere.

Heading north up into the Gulf of California and things just get better and better as we go. The sunrise this morning was one of the best I’ve seen in quite a while, and that’s saying a whole lot.
It’s been decided that we will not be heading west again for the next couple of weeks, [...]

I’m at the tired part of my rotation now. Every time, it’s the same thing. Week one is adaptation back to the boat life. Weeks two through four the readjustment is over and work goes on as usaul. Around week five or so is the starting to get tired week, which usually consists of some [...]
