Cool Mexico mini-expedition - PICS

Last month we did a trip from Yuma, across the border to El Golfo, then along the northern coast of the sea of Cortez, almost to Rocky Point (Puerto Penasco), then up into the Sierra Pinacate. It was very remote, and VERY cool.

I have been using http://www.bajabound.com/ but haven't had any claims with them, so couldn't "honestly" recommend them. They sure do make it easy to buy insurance though. Good rates, and you can do it all on-line and print out your policy to take with you.

Hehehe... yea, my wife said she missed my "baja beard" so I decided to have it back for awhile.

The water ought to be getting a little more tolerable in about a month. Where you gonna go?

Awesome pics, makes me regret I havn't made a trip down to Mexico yet. I wanted to test out some kayaking in the Sea of Cortez, is San Felipe a good place to start out from?
