Coming into Santa Rosalia…will anchor in the marina tonight. Yhay, showers with unlimited hot water.

At our delicious rotiserie chicken lunch restaurant where we were served delightful margaritas (again)…we happened to bump into Frankie and Lowell’s friends M & M (Myron and Marilyn). Small world!

And now the serious tales begin…..IMG 3030

 

 

 

First we spotted a Marlin…

Then we saw spectacular whale tails….they were also breaching, mating, and blowing….

Left speechless…

And still the tales continue….Mike snags a Dorado.

 

 

Beautiful…these are the best eating….on ice as we speak.

    Hello to all that were involved in the cruse, the blog was greatly enjoyed by the people land locked. Being from south Florida that trip brought back great memories of boating in the islands. I hope all had a good time, thanks again.

    Hey guys, Excellent finish for the hollow leg crew. Frankie and I are very jealous of all your whale encounters, having not seen even one whale during our 3 weeks on board. Fun blog, great photos. Looks like Mike gets the largest fish award. Maybe we should save it for a crew party in Cholla. Thanks for taking the time to do the blog.. Safe travels home..

    Hi everyone – it’s been a delight to tune in to the fun and adventures over the past few months. The Blog has been fantastic and has kept the dream alive for all of us that weren’t lucky enough to be part of the great 2009 adventure. I’m now going to have to find something else to do when I first arrive at work each day. Lowell, Frankie & Bill – you’ve created a monster – I can’t see how you’ll be able to plan anything other than a Baja cruise each spring for the rest of your lives.
    At Seawind, we’ve all enjoyed the fun and it’s great to feel that we’ve played a small part in it all.
