Los Cerritos - Juncalito Beach

View from Sierra de la Laguna

















Blue Whale off the coast of Loreto and Humpback Whale off Carmen Island


It has been a while hasn`t it? I could lie and say we haven`t been near an internet but that just wouldn`t be right. Todo Santos - Los Cerritos has come and gone already. We spent an hour every day boogie boarding and caught alot of great waves. Terry and Peter, a couple of Kens biking buddies, joined us for 4 days so we did a few 950 rides into the mountians and down to Cabo. Cabo is a bigger zoo than ever with huge cruise liners in port most every day, lots and lots of people. Ken and I did a hike into the Sierra de la Laguna park one day and I think the weather was the hottest yet that day. We hiked to an elevation of 4159 ft. straight up with alot of sandy and rocky trail. But what a view of the desert and ocean. There are camping spots at the top , 5500 ft. Next trip we would like to take 3-5 days to do the full hike. We were a little sore the next day but luckily we were still able to BOOGIE.
We are back at Juncalito beach now and have been here for at least a week. The whales have come into the Bay since we were here last, so everyday that is not windy we take the zodiac out and hang out and watch them for a while. These whales are humpbacks, blues, and fin whales and are much bigger than the gray whales on the Pacific coast. These whales are anywhere from 80 to 120 ft long, they make the zodiac look pretty small. Amazing! Also this year we have seen alot of Rays and Dolphins, Ken even got in the water and snorkeled with the dolphins one day. Snorkeling has been good and so has the clamming. For several nights now there has been phospheresance in the water. Every time a wave breaks or there is any surface disturbance the water just glows, very cool.
Mom and Dad are still with us, for maybe another week, then they will head north and we will most likely go to the Pacific again for a while. BOOGIE!
