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, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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?

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. [...]

After taking off from Cabo yesterday we ran into a couple of humpbacks that were pretty active. They were breaching over and over again, as well as pectoral flapping and tail flapping. The humpbacks made up for a slow couple of days of grey whales.
I’m getting closer to taking a good picture, but I think [...]

In the last week we’ve been here in Mag bay we’ve only seen a handful of Grey Whales, and it’s got us all wondering…..where are they? I took some time out yesterday to go on a zodiac cruise and we didn’t see one whale in two hours. This doesn’t happen often, but when it does [...]
