whale watching and snorkling

Went whale watching off Isle Carmen and Danzante here in the Sea of Cortez. Saw a fin whale and a large manta ray. Walked to top of Danzante and then swam in the cove there. Another tour the next day saw several blue whales.

Took a tour with friends around Coronado Island. Saw a lot of sea lions, then had lunch and snorkled. There were many colorful fish to see, some coral, a large sea cucumber, volcanic rocks and white sand. The tour company provides snorkles, fins and wet suits (shorties or long and thick or thin material). The water temperature this time of year is in 70's.

Watched the moon rise over Carmen last night. Looked out and there was a golden light above one of the peaks on the island. The clouds were horizontal streaks and bright red. It was Awesome! A few minutes later, the entire moon was visible above the island and the colorful magic of the moment gone.

Finished volume 4 of the Outlander series and my leggings are 2/3 completed. I do not have enough weaving yarn to finish the leggings while here in Baja, but a friend is mailing some yarn to me in Los Angeles.
