Comment: The harsh desert is beautiful & intimidating.
sealion1 * Juveniles like to play with snorkelers. One even hugged some of our group & kissed them on the mask. Amazing! They are prone to nipping at the divers too, playfully in almost every case. Big bulls & older females can be aggressive. You cannot get too close to the islets. * 175 x 242 * (13KB)

100_1693 * Most snorkelers wear wet suits as the waters are still a bit chilly in winter. * 2080 x 1544 * (1.39MB)

100_1691 * The food on the BOA tour was super. Our chef Big Al had been with the company for over 10-years. * 2080 x 1544 * (1.25MB)

100_1733 * Cook stove. * 1544 x 2080 * (1.4MB)

100_1698 * First night we camped at Ensenada beach. I immediately took off down the Ensenada Grande hiking trail, 6km return to cross the island. VERY RUGGED. I ran out of daylight. * 2080 x 1544 * (1.6MB)

100_1710 * Wild fig trees were my favourite plant. They grow in cracks cold enough to generate some drops of moisture. * 1544 x 2080 * (1.53MB)

100_1713 * Every kayak tour paddles a mangrove swamp >> a fascinating, under-appreciated ecosystem. * 2080 x 1544 * (1.69MB)

100_1718 * White sand. Bright kayaks & tents. Beautiful. * 1414 x 1059 * (910KB)

100_1735 * Day 2 - setting out in typical, perfect weather. Mornings are calm. Afternoons usually bring north winds during the winter. * 1459 x 1093 * (841KB)
