The wife and I headed down to Baja to fish, relax on the beach, snorkel, kayak and do a little exploring.

We crossed the border at the San Ysidro border in the morning and headed south to camp just south of Bahia de Los Angeles about 410 miles.

We stopped to strech near El Consuedo on the pacific side.

It was cool and over cast all the way down until about Catavina.

We got into Bay of La around 9:00 filled up the gas tanks got some tacos and headed south for a place to sleep for the night just south of town.

It was about 80 degrees and cooled off to about 75 with a nice breeze.

In the morning we headed to San Francisquito.

It was hot on this side about 95 but not bad. I was worried it would be around 105.

We would come back in a week to go check out the beach and some hills with quite a few fossils. But it was hot and we wanted to set up camp and hit the water in San Francisquito. So we turned around and headed to camp.

After setting up camp I went to paddle out for dinner.

About the 6th or 7th day there we started to get rougher seas due to a weather far away.

Good timing and beautiful photos! We've got some tropical weather coming up now which makes for pretty miserable conditions on the Gulf. Thanks for sharing!

nice pics and trip! What do you think of your inflatable kayak? and what model did you get? I have been looking at them recently.
