Monthly Kayak Moment

Here is your monthly reminder about the joys of kayaking on the Sea of Cortez. The birds see us as part of the ambiance. It is not unusual to have pelicans diving for fish right near our kayaks.

Loreto Update

Now that the west side of the Paseo has been lined off for parking, the Condominium Regime placed a pamphlet on vehicles parked on the Paseo last night. The note stated as follows: "From April 6, 2009 we will be opening a Parking Area in the side of the...

Loreto weekend time

It seems there is a lot of activity today even though it is the weekend. The southbound part of the Paseo between the Golf Club and FN358 is being swept. Yes, by hand. Two workmen have swept the entire street. When asked what was happening, the response was that...

Friday in Loreto – End of the week? Not so….

This week Loreto weather has been hot, cold (relative), calm and windy. This morning all was calm. This afternoon as I walked the beach south of the Malecon (by the Oasis Hotel) I could see dust clouds from the construction vehicles in Loreto Bay. By the...

Loreto Time – a new week

Another week has begun in Loreto. After Sunday's cool winds whipping the sand and dust the bright calm of Monday was welcomed. For the second time my carpenter arrived right on schedule. The work by Jose Pedro Montes Hernandez (Pedro) so far has been very good...

Thursday in Loreto

Thursday dawned bright and warm. Not a cloud in the sky and the air was quiet. It would have been a great day to be out on the water looking for whales and dolphins. Unfortunately I spent the day waiting for LBC Warranty to show up....

Wednesday in Loreto

Wednesday, I think, or am I on Loreto time... Sigh... I'm suffering from my escapades of yesterday. The wind covered the intensity of the sun and as I casually sat on the beach reading one of Jimmy Buffet's novels, the sun very casually burned my knees...
