For the first time since I arrived, I went sailing out of La Paz. The location is about two hours from here and is named Balandra. It is not an island but part of the Baja peninsula near the bottom tip of the state of Baja California Sur on the Sea of Cortez.
These two photos, above, were taken as we sailed (motored) out to Balandra. Notice how blue and clear the water is in the photo looking down into the water.
We were greeted by these friendly pelicans when we arrived. Dolce Vita is at anchor as we motor towards the first location to explore. The third photo shows the topography of the area.
The photos below is of a area where there is a small cave to explore or to just sit back in the shade to relax and read a good book.
After relaxing for a while, we headed back to the boat to get a photo of Mushroom Rock which is a well known landmark in this area.
We have landed on the beach and claimed it as our own. Notice the huge crowds. Mushroom Rock is off in the distance.
Now this is the photo where you can use Photo Shop to insert yourself and your friends. What better place than this to have a picnic. Dolce Vita is also relaxing and waits for use to return.
This area is only a small piece of what the Sea of Cortez offers in beauty. The beautiful scenery is not the end. The Sea also offers many species of fish and mammals that can only be found here or at far reaches around the world.
That is all for now. Stay tuned for more over the next few weeks.
Stay safe out there.
