Day 5 - Thursday - Dec 11, 2025
Bahia de los Angeles, Mexico
This bay and the little town are considered the "Marine Oasis of Baja California" due to the abundant aquatic life. This lovely area is also one of the finest boating areas in the Baja area. Perfect for kayaking and small boat excursions and ventures ashore such as hikes to Punta La Gringa, visits to the nature museum, and even possible swims with whale sharks. This is also a great chance to take guided walks and hikes or be on your own. This area is also known as one of the few places in Baja where the famed, and huge, leatherback sea turtle can be spotted. For those who enjoyed reading "The Log from the Sea of Cortez" we will have the opportunity to visit a nearby Steinbeck site. Meals included: breakfast, lunch, dinner

Puerto Refugio, Isla Angel de la Guarda, Baja California, Mexico
Puerto Refugio, Isla Angel de la Guarda, Baja California, Mexico
This is the northernmost extent of our journey and a treat our owner, Captain Dan, has relished returning to. This tight and protected area is known to local fishermen and yachties as one of the most protected and scenic areas in the Northern Sea of Cortez. We will have all day to enjoy this yachter's paradise. All activities are on for today, and perhaps a chance for a campfire before dinner? Meals included: breakfast, lunch, dinner
Day 7 - Saturday - Dec 13, 2025

After a rigorous hike, enjoy the sight of hundreds of sea lions, pelicans, boobies, terns, cormorants, gulls, and osprey. Then, get underway for a marine mammal search. Keep an eye out for blue, fin, sperm, pilot, and killer whales that frequent this area. This area is known as the Canal de Salsipuedes, but due to its extreme depths it is also known to mariners as "the Trench". It is in this trench that large groups of sperm whales feed on Humboldt squid, meaning you'll have an excellent chance to observe the mighty toothed whales. Meals included: breakfast, lunch, dinner
