Sea of Cortez

View Loreto Region in a larger map

I'm prepping for a trip coming up in a few days. I'll be leaving for Baja on March 9th and returning April 1st. On the Searcher. It's whale watching boat with a group put together by Michael Ellis, my naturalist friend - going from San Diego into the Sea of Cortez,  / then a few days in Cabo and Loreto / then eight days sea kayak camping on the islands and beaches south of Loreto. I had been on the Searcher before and it was an amazing voyage, so I am excited. There was so much marine life it gave me an expanded appreciation of what is just offshore. The boat's captain posts daily updates on their online ship's log - there is a link over on the right of the page and down a little, to "Captain Art".
The sea kayak leg is with a local outfitter and guides from Loreto, named Paddling South. This will be a big adventure into some new territory for me and I am looking forward to it.

I hope to include updates to this journal whenever possible, but, well, it's Baja. Not likely to be able to upload anything until reaching Cabo on the 20th, but you never know. 

Yellow pins on the map are places we should visit from the Searcher; the pink, blue and green pins are intended kayak destinations. The map should be interactive with zooming, etc.
