There’s lots of beach with plenty to share. One part is even reserved for the turtles.

It’s quiet before the guests get up. When the sun is well overhead the deck is a beehive of activity. That will be fun. Having a quiet time to contemplate the coming day makes it all the better.

You can park a massive boat in the national park, but not a little seaplane? Seriously? Yep. Es de law, Senor. Yeah, well, it’s the same the world over. Irrationality Rules!

One encounter with bureaucracy was enough for the day. Instead of bludgeoning my way through the Los Cabos controlled airspace, I took the long route back Cabo San Lucas via going north before turning west and then south. A two hour flight instead of thirty minutes. Perfect.

Another good excuse for going north along the Mar de Cortes was to look for Capt. Edward’s beachfront cottage. Could this be it? Naw, too far south.

It’s laid back enough for Dave and elegant enough for Lynn, but I think it’s a bit too far south.

Now you are getting close. This one is at Punta Colorada...a <br />great fishing locale with a dirt runway just north of the <br />beachfront complex.

The 'Red Rocks ' guard the northern entrance to Punta <br />Colorada. There is a ATV trail the other side of the block <br />house which we use to get down the coast.

When this was being built a couple of years ago, we all <br />thought it was an airport terminal.<br />It was designed by the same architect who did the Westin <br />Hotel...shown in your Party Place photo. Our land looks down <br />on this place....just south of La Ribera.

This spectacular place is on the road to Punta <br />Pescadero....about 4 kms north of the town of Los <br />Barriles.........and 10 kms north of where we winter. The dirt <br />road is the secondary highway leading to La Paz and is <br />closed every year due to rock slides. Just part of the <br />adventure.......and Frank....they have an enclosed elevator.

The color looks better when it’s not matched against the emerald and cobalt blue of the Golfo de California.

..but if you had a SeaRey, no matter. Well, maybe if you had two, no matter (one spare).

The Bay of the Dead (Bahio los Muertos) didn’t look nearly as scary as many other parts of the coast.

The chart showed a break in the mountains to cross over to the west coast. It didn’t show the prickly ground between the mountains.

This is supposed to be the break in between mountain ranges? Apparently I need to learn how to read Mexican topographic maps.

It was back to the place I was before: the Cabo San Lucas airport across a cactus filled approach. It wasn’t time to checkout and I didn’t want to leave.

Getting ready for the approaching new year was cause for celebratory flight. Nearby, not everyone was up for flying. It’s a worry for the airport’s owner. He has planted cactus along the road to town to keep airport visitors from having to see it on their ride to town. He didn’t say if he had a plan to hide it from the air.

The Westin Hotel is situated on ' the corridor ' between Cabo <br />and San Jose del Cabo.<br />Like most places along that part of the coast, swimming is not <br />great due to the rip <br />currents and surf. Not as bad as the Pacific side, but still <br />treacherous. The pools get a lot of use.

Another gorgeous travelog Dan, thanks much. Appears that Cabo San Lucas et al have <br />as many cacti as we have mangroves.
