Going to see Whales!
2. helmikuuta 2023, Yhdysvallat
Woke up at 3:30 am for a 4:30 ride to the airport, 7 am flight to LAX. SeaTac was modestly busy. We had to check in at the counter due to the passport check. Weird travel learning: the RFID pouch for a passport sets off a metal detector (forgot it in my pocket). We’ll connect in LA to a flight to Loreto, BCS, Mexico.Lue lisää

Villa de Palmar Resort - Loreto BCS
2. helmikuuta 2023, Meksiko
Made it through the very random customs at Loreto and south 33 miles. We’ll have to figure out a way back to Loreto on Saturday. For now, it’s margaritas and vino blanco and ceviche.

Hike and a Dip
3. helmikuuta 2023, Meksiko
A short hike to a viewpoint. The mountains are spectacular. The range to the West is the Sierra Gigante. Clear air and impressive vistas. Tried out my new Benoit Blanc bathing suit. There’s a lot of pretty massive types laying around the pool, so I’m counting it as a public service.Lue lisää

Loreto
4. helmikuuta 2023, Meksiko ⋅ 🌙 59 °F
Made it to Hotel Mission in Loreto, a 30 minute drive for $60 US. Very animated driver. There’s a béisbol estadio here and even a hospital. Didn’t see the ship when we hit the melacon and turned near the mouth of the marina, but we’ve seen bag tags. Lunch and a tour of the mission.Lue lisää

Watch out
4. helmikuuta 2023, Meksiko ⋅ ☀️ 63 °F
We receive the briefing to always check your shoes before putting them on. The advice: if you feel something crawling on your face at night, hold still and go back to sleep as the people who are bitten are those who try to hit the thing.Lue lisää

A brief stroll in the Town of Loreto
4. helmikuuta 2023, Meksiko ⋅ ☀️ 66 °F
After lunch, margaritas, and a presentation by a serpentarium in La Paz, we take a brief 30 minute stroll in Loreto before boarding the bus to our ship in Escondido. Loreto was settled by the Spanish Jesuits. The padres did not want to force the indigenous people to work for the mission. Mission productivity was expected to repay the investment by the Spanish crown. After a few years, the Jesuits were replaced by Franciscans who were more open to forced labor. Along this street the indigenous people lined up to say good-bye to their padres. Things were pretty sleepy as we strolled along the avenida. There was some sort of youth activity with several booths.Lue lisää

Overnight at Isla Danzante

We overnight at Isla Danzante. I got to watch the anchor come up and it was difficult to wrangle the heavy links of the anchor chain.

After overnighting near Danzante Island (a sacred site for local indigenous shamen) we cruised into a rare sighting of grey and the slightly more common blue whales.

Breakfast at sea
6. helmikuuta 2023, Gulf of California
The food was plentiful and tasty. I had a lot of fish for dinner. Usually eggs and sausage and bacon. They had salsa ranchera in a big bottle! Not like the little can in the U.S. Coffee was very good as well. They had this little jar of chia pudding and coconut milk with berries that was great.Lue lisää

Off the coast of Los Cabos
7. helmikuuta 2023, Gulf of California
A day on the water. Wind kicked up and the morning of snorkeling had to be cancelled, so we spent the day on the water looking for cetaceans…it was a good day. These pictures were taken using one of the ships loaner Olympus OM-1 cameras with a 50-200mm lens.Lue lisää

After returning to the Venture for lunch, we reposition and then launch zodiacs to cross the narrow sandy dunes to the longest stretch of uninhabited beach I have ever seen.

Magdelena Bay
8. helmikuuta 2023, North Pacific Ocean
After the humpback whale breaches of Los Cabos, we entered the Pacific and hit a 4-5 foot swell, which led to seasickness for Loren and an early bedtime. Just made it back to the room in time and had to skip dinner. Luckily, some Dramamine and being prone helped and I could get some sleep. Peggy was completely unaffected!Lue lisää
