North America » Mexico » Baja California Sur » Cabo San Lucas November 28th 2007

The weather and food were the main topic of conversation the last day at sea ( 8th day) ….. except for those that lost their shirts at the casino or those that bought the famous paintings at the art auctions. Everywhere we went this week, the weather was BEAUTIFUL !!…. And that’s what we were looking for … right ?? Balmy climes !!! The temps ranged from a milder 60 in the early mornings to a high of 90 by some of the afternoons. Perfect for cruising and lounging about the deck and watching the whales. When we were not that far from the California shore we traveled along side a school of 100 or so dolpins, leaping and playing in the water. Never in my life have I seen such a sight. By the time ... read more

Los Cabos (The Capes), our 6th day destination, is not actually a town. It is the name officials bestowed upon two once remote Baja communities: Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo as well as the stretch of coast that connects them known as “the Corridor”. Again, we “tendered” into the pier. We have become quite “tenderized” actually! We shared the Bay with both a Holland America ship as well as a Princess Cruises, so you can imagine the crowd at the markets and on the boardwalk. We had been to Cabo before so were not surprised with the “new” look of the place. When you think of a quaint little Mexican coastal community, that is NOT Cabo (now 60,000) …. at least not where the ship docks. In order to get any Mexican flavour ... read more

Ok - sorry this is so late, but thought you might like to see some pictures of my trip to Cabo, Mexico in July. Better late than never! I was invited by my lovely argentine cousin and godmother Cristina and her daughter Maria to spend a week with them in Cabo San Lucas, which is on the southern tip of Mexicos' Baja California. Leaving Dave at home to earn us some money! After a two hour flight from Phoenix I arrived on a lovely sunny afternoon and after unpacking we headed for the beach, which we spent most of the week on. Cabo is a small, lovely place with a mixture of American style bars and authentic Mexican places. The people are lovely and you can spend a fortune buying jewelery and other arts and crafts ... read more

Hola Amigos y Amigas, After a sad week of saying goodbye to our family and friends, we got on the plane to Cabo and instantly fell asleep. On Sunday, I can say that for the first time in my life I sat next to a pool all day long and did not move. There were points during the day where this task seemed more difficult than running the marathon, but it was really nice to relax and read. We have spent the last 4 days doing the exact same thing, only getting up to make lunch or head into town for dinner. Just to give you a better idea of our general laziness - Our hotel is a beachfront hotel (literally a 10 second walk) and we did not make it down to touch the sand ... read more

It took a whole 6 days sailing to get from Costa Rica to the Baja California Peninsula, talk about cabin fever! Actually it was a really great trip, not rough and we saw lots of dolphins and a couple of whales. The dolphins love to play in the boats wake, and at one point were effortlessly swimming infront of the bow while we were moving, I was a little bit scared we would run them over but they were just having fun. Also lots of turtles, they float on the surface to enjoy the sunshine, one of them sadly had a plastic bag tangled around it's neck which is a good reminder never to throw anything overboard. We pulled into Cabo San Lucas early in the morning, the first thing I saw was the famous ... read more

Today was a bit calmer here as the winds seemed to have subsided a bit. It was, however, a little cool this morning when I got up at, YES!, 6 am!! It was about 57 degrees! We had decided to take a day trip to the Cabos San Jose and San Lucas. The drive over was pretty much the same as all the rest of the drives--hills and curves! So nothing new there! Cabo San Jose is about 40 miles from Los Barriles where we are "stationed" now. Then Cabo San Lucas is about another 20 miles south. San Jose is a little older and not as commercialized but has a gorgeous beach area. San Lucas is your regular "resort" with lots of hotels and condominiums on the beach side with impoverished areas nearby and across ... read more

Hello there! Todays tour was pretty fun, nice people always maek for more fun times, and todays people on tour just that, real nice. the water is getting warmer little by little, I even felt a bit warm at a poin in the wetsuit, the people thaught it was no big deal. visibility was about 45 feet, no winds, there has been a lot of nothr wind, and that never hits the bay of Sn Lucas. On the down side, the people just was too nice, and it seemed that as much as they tried to have a bad time, they just couldnt. what can you do, if conditions are near perfect, you can almost expect the same.

Hello folks: Todays tour was as peacefull as a church at 6:00 am, I know we usualy start real early and we get a head start on everybody and at least we can enjoy a good hourn and a half of peace and quiet, before all the usual water taxis and jet skis start slowly making their way into the bay of San Lucas, but today was a clear indicator that Tourism is slow here in Cabo, if you guys like low key, its defenelty that now a days, I dont know whats up, but there is no people in Cabo, my tours are real small now a days, and today we where all alone al the way untill the end of the tour, which was nice, thats one of the things we always look for ... read more

Hello there... Well, what can I say, todays tours conditions where real good, no wind what so ever, beutyfull visibility in the water about a good 45 feet, it even seem that the waters temperature is warming up a bit, it was around 23 celcious, pretty nice, I was a bit warm in my wet suit. The coolest thing about todays tour was that I thaught there wher no moe whales to see this time of year, cause its gettign harder and harder as the Whale watching seasson for this part of the world is winding down, a pod of 7 humback whales just swam along side of us right at the very tip of the Baja Peninsula, right a little bit in front of the Arch of Cabo. I regreat to inform that our clients ... read more
