National Geographic Sea Bird repositioned before breakfast in order to better execute the day’s planned activities. The transition brought us through moderate swells for a short spell and into calm water in El Cardonal Bay, Isla Espiritu Santo.. After breakfast different hiking groups took off to explore the island. After lunch we got to swim with the sea lions. Another awesome day!

La Paz, Baja California Sur
La Paz means peace, and peace was what we found in the shelter of La Paz Bay this morning. We had a busy day planned in this beautiful, welcoming city. While the southern city of Cabo San Lucas is known for tourism and spring break, La Paz is the forgotten child. There is so much to do, or not do if you prefer, and our options today were diverse: snorkeling with whale sharks, the biggest fish in the sea, eating ice cream from the famous shop La Fuente, strolling the waterfront, visiting a local tortilla factory (and sampling the freshly made products!), investigating the whale museum, admiring the local cathedral, or watching time and people go by while sitting on a bench along the Malecón. We experienced the flavors of Mexico, and they were diverse and delicious.

Punta Dispensa, Isla Espiritu Santu
Braving mighty winds, the National Geographic Sea Bird steamed north towards Isla San Francisco with bold plans in mind. The fickle Sea of Cortez weather, however, had plans of its own. After programs on the history of Mexico and the charismatic cacti of Baja we arrived in the comparative shelter of Half Moon Bay.
