Santispac Beach. Drove up to Playa Santispac on Bahia de Concepcion to spend 3 days. It is about a 70 mile drive north of Loreto. Dry camped next to a little palapa and fastened a tarp to one side as a wind break. The afternoon wind there is quite strong, but mornings are calm. Rented a situpon kayak for yesterday and this morning. Paddled along the shore and into a little mangrove pool near the camping area yesterday and today I paddled around the nearest island.
Did a couple short swims. Water is cooler than it was in October and frio for locals and media frio for me. Met a woman from Canada who travels to Santispac every year and stays for months. It would be a nice place to stay longer than 3 days.

My brother drove up from Loreto and we went to Mulege for lunch yesterday.

Shazza is now back in the USofA in San Diego area.

I will not begin drive north until March 13.

Chet is eating well and is stronger. As of last week he had gained a couple ounces. I'll weigh him again soon and see if he is still gaining. His back legs are stronger. Until today, when we would walk and I stop and talk he would soon be sitting down, but today he stood for quite a while. What this all means, I do not know................he is nearly 15.

It rained in Loreto today. Also heard rumbling of thunder. Saw a large dust storm in a valley north of town today. The dust did not come over to the highway so visibility was fine. Today's rain was over in 15-20 minutes.
