Photos of the Day

November 16 – Sea of Cortez, Mexico

The Wanderer, the usual editor for ‘Lectronic
Latitude, is back from the Ha-Ha . . . just in time to face a
nasty deadline for the December issue of Latitude 38.
So today’s edition of ‘Lectronic will be a mostly-photos feature
on the Sea of Cortez.

Profligate on the hook at lovely Isla San Francisco, about
35 miles north of La Paz.

Ken and Carmel messing with Snappy
the sea lion at Las Focas.

Ken, Carmel, and Doña de Mallorca drag the dinghy over
the rocks to enter the mangrove at Isla San Jose. This is easier
on the dinghy when done at high tide.

Roberto tries some moondancing on the moon-like surface of Los
Focas.

When the sun gets low, it’s time
to reel in dinner.
Carmel, Chris, Roberto and Ken.

Sunsets are great in the Sea of
Cortez.
This one is only a two on a scale of 10.
