Looks great. Thanks for the pictures - beautiful scenery. Would love to see "Land's End" at the tip of the Baja someday.

The Southern Baja is a magical place especially the rural undeveloped town & fish camps, the sea food is unbeatable $2.00 lobster tails, giant shrimp,scallops,clams ect even oysters.
Its not for the nail polish & blowdryer type! thats why the girls flew in to Cabo but spent the next 10 days with us(they clean up quite well though dont they?), great weather & clear water.

Sounds nice. How were the ocean conditions? Did you ever experience any rough waters, because from the looks of your pictures, it looks like you had nothing but calm water and beautiful weather? Do you have any more shots from Land's End?

That's some good living there!! Thanks for sharing.:thumbsup:

 

[Joe Mcginnis]

We only had a few hours of wind, as soon as I put my windows up to keep out the spray we were back to calm water, that is pretty much the normal weather there in Nov.
I met my quota on photos last post ill try again now.
