Los Islotes and Isla Espiritu Santo
This morning we sailed south to find strong winds blowing near Los Islotes. The Sea Voyager was not able to find an anchorage, but since the leeward side of the islets was protected, we decided to give it a shot. Like magic the wind started dying out as we cruised on our Zodiacs taking a closer look to the California sea lions and the many different organisms and rock formations of the place. By the time we were snorkeling and diving, the seas were calm as we played underwater with the sea lions and took close looks at the amazing amount of fish that surrounded us.
Later during the afternoon, we sailed towards Bahia Bonanza, a beautiful sandy beach on the south eastern side of Isla Espiritu Santo. On the way we encountered a few bottle nose dolphins that rode the bow for a moment and then left. Shortly before dropping the anchor, I offered a talk about Mexico and our biological and cultural richness.
We disembarked on Bahia Bonanza, where we kayaked, snorkeled and enjoyed the beach and the desert environment for our last day of the trip. We raised the anchor again and headed into the Town of La Paz, where Willam guided a walk through the Malecón and guided us to the ice cream shop, which we agree it is probably the best in the world.
