Day 32



Cabo Arch



Life IS Good

Sunday was another free day. Some of the folks went to the beach for breakfast and a glass bottom boat ride but they were leaving at 7:45 AM so we declined. I am told those who went on the trip were very satisfied. Sunday afternoon we all took a taxi down to the marina for our 2 hr. sunset cruise (♫ Just sit back and you’ll hear a tale. A tale of a fateful trip, That started from this tropic port, aboard this tiny ship ♪). We walked around the marina a bit before the boat ride and saw a great many nice boats plus a couple of huge yachts, complete with helicopters. Our cruise boat was a fairly new catamaran that would hold 20 people. We left at 5:00 and sailed out around “Lands End” and the Cabo Arch from the Sea of Cortez into the Pacific Ocean. There were quite a few other boats of all shapes and sizes “milling about” near the arch. We spotted a large sea lion basking on top of a large rock (he must have got there during high tide because I don’t think sea lions can climb) and several whale spouts and breechings. We motored northward along the coast for about 30 minutes so we could see all the condos etc. that have been built on the Pacific side. The wave activity on the rocky shore of this side is more dramatic as well. Even though there was plenty of booze on board and the crew kept our glasses full we didn’t lose anyone overboard. The sea was pretty calm and we came back under wind power, docking at 7:00. A very enjoyable trip.
