The crescent moon was visible during the sunrise on Friday, February 17

On Friday, we were up earlier than usual to get the boat ready to go. We untied shortly after 0800. The ride was uncomfortable for the first two hours, as we were in head seas. The first shot of the industrial area between Playa Pichilingue and Bahia Falsa. The second shot is a zoom in of where we suspect the residue in the air may be coming from.

Once got to the tip of the peninsula that protected La Paz from the rest of the Sea of Cortez, we turned west, passing Playa Tecolote. The ride was a lot more comfortable once we were in beam seas.

As time went on, the sea conditions very slowly improved. Here is a quick video of the conditions at sunset.

By Saturday morning, it was quite calm as we went around Cabo Falso (the tip of Cabo San Lucas). We can’t believe that we are three for three in terms of having calm seas in a spot that was notorious for rough waters! The first picture was the sunrise as we approached Cabo San Lucas, the second is Eric with the famous Cabo Falso rocks in the background, third a wider shot of Cabo San Lucas, and the last is a video of the sea conditions.
