We began our trip last night in La Paz, Baja California Sur, and awoke this morning at anchor in a beautiful cove on the northwest side of Isla Partida. We finished breakfast in time to go ashore for hikes and sea kayaking -- our first introduction to the amazing diversity of life found here on the islands in the Sea of Cortez. After the morning's adventures and lunch, we moved a bit northward to some rocky islets known as Los Islotes. Everyone boarded our Zodiacs for cruises along the shoreline. We saw dozens of California Sea Lions, Magnificent Frigatebirds, Brown Boobies diving for fish and even a pair of Blue-footed Boobies in full courtship display.
