Thanks to the eagle eyed readers. It is indeed a December trip. The reference to meeting in March is an error, perhaps wishful thinking. Imagine all the good food and find exploring one could soak up waiting for December. But December it is. Corrected version below. FAMILY TRIP TO BAJA - MID DECEMBER 1999 The lure of warm water and scenery has overcome us again and we are headed for southern Baja in mid-December (12-23). If you and your kids would like some company and a visit to the Galapagos of Mexico, Isla Espiritu Santo, bring your folding boats (or rent hardsehells from Mar y Aventuras (800) 355-7140) and join us. This is not a commercial trip or organized in any way, just an invitation to those who might be interested in some pleasant paddling in a pristine environment. Meet in La Paz on the 13th of December and take a power skiff out to Espiritu Santo (12 miles), or join us later. Return in a week to be home for the the Xmas hoolidays. RT flight from LA is about $220 on Aero California. Mary and Richard Amador (Mar y Aventuras) will provide local transport, $150 RT for a skiff load (4 people and gear, boats) to the island. Call them at the number above or 011-52-112-30559. Local accommodations we like: Hotel Lorrimar, FAX 011 52 112 56387, or PHONE 011 52 112 53822. Cost is $25-30 per night and right downtown in walking distance of everything. We plan to base camp in perhaps two places and explore the many coves, bays and harbors on the sheltered west side. Snorkel, bird-watch, fish, swim with sea lions, great hiking, archaeological sites, old pirate caves, unique flora and fauna, stunning rock formations. Our objective is good food, slow paddling and lots of pictures and beach fun for adults and kids alike. We have no commercial interest in the services recommended here but some positive previous experience. Let us know if you expect to be joining us and we will be on the lookout. Happy paddling.
