Guess where this is ... ???

OK, here's another 'guess where this is'. Should be obvious because of the major clue. If you know right off, give others a chance to guess - I know some of you will know right away...

hi Judy,

Hmmm... never heard of Lake Murray... Is that near Baja?

Very close ....

Well...the only "major clue", would be the muddy water and the lack of swells, so I say it is at the mouth of a river on the Gulf side. My WAG (Wild A** Guess) would be either the Mulege river or that large drainage in the east cape that goes through Santiago....right after a storm that washed a lot of mud down

Final answer.

Right! Roberto is closest, but BajaWarrrior set the stage and jeans is right that the 'muddy water' is the biggest clue...

So, I took the photo about 7 miles from Isla Montague just as we were entering the the main channel of the Colorado River delta on an outflowing tide. At this point we were still on the Baja side of the Sea of Cortez about 5 miles offshore and the tide was trying to push us south ...

another shot

Another shot of my brother ... after this it was a race with the setting sun and against the tide. We finally made it to Isla Montague at sunset, but then, just a few hours later, the tide rose again in the dark of the night - that part of the journey is a story in itself!

I knew it was the mouth of the colorado but was told not to answer. So I guess if you didn't know - then you were supposed to respond.

Either way, the images are great with good color saturation.

Thanks for posting.

BTW, I was recently perusing a Winslow Homer book at our local bookstore and decided that canoes just look better than kayaks. See what I mean:

was just trying to extend the guessing game a little bit ...

my first water paddle craft was a canoe - a nice lapstrake wood construction job. took it down to BLA one summer and learned that canoes and the Sea of Cortez don't really mix well. Like your photo though, it was great on lakes and rivers - the best trip was on the Green in Utah

Cortez canoes

gringorio, Skipjack Joe, and other paddlers..

Like Yogi Berra said..."It's deja vu all over again."

Kayaks are great Cortez boats, but canoes have souls.

This thread of kayaks and canoes brought back some memories. Remember this thread, Igor?
