Took the Waverunner down the beach at high tide. The beach perspective is much different from the water.

that palapa frame on July 4th... will be there soon!Ken Cooke - 5-24-2011 at 06:28 PM

Dave, it was an 18'4" high. Was able to access the beach up until an 17'8". After that too much water and mud. No fish this trip? They just were not
there! But we all had a good time and of course the cerveza was cold! Will be back down in 3 weeks. Percebu was quiet. Try the fish tacos at the
Cantina-most excellent!Bob H - 5-24-2011 at 08:13 PM

David, when are you going down to Shell island?

Cantina is at Rancho (Laguna) Percebu, I believe Chris is talking about.
We leave for Shell Island in less than 72 hours!

10-4 Chuck... the family is really excited to go back, for daughter Kristi, it will be her first time in Baja on the island... and I am always happy
to be in Baja!
Jonna will be ready to take more great photos, like this one she took her first time there, last September:
Low tide... and in 6 hours this point will be ~16-18 feet under water!
