It's a few hours late for sunrise....Sooo....We'll call this:
Mid-Morning at Coyote.
Besides, my sunrise view is currently blocked by some visitors....a large boat and a small ship.
Welcomes to:
boat = Laurieboats and Jim on 'Uno Mas'
ship = National Geographic research ship (alias:cruise to discovery)

Just another nice morning on the bay! I've seen the NG ship in La Paz a few different times.Islandbuilder - 1-17-2012 at 11:53 AM
Beautiful.
Sigh.
I play tag with the NatGeo boat all summer in Alaska. It's either the Sea Lion or Sea Bird. Perhaps latter they'll skiff their guests around the shore
to look at the wildlife.
I hope that you put on a good show!24baja - 1-17-2012 at 02:24 PM
I think it would be awesome to get a tour of the NatGeo boat and to spend and evening with them at my table, wish I were there! Thanks Pompano for the
beautiful view!baja Steve - 1-17-2012 at 02:30 PM
My brother was a captain on the Sea Bird and Sea Lion for a lot of years. I believe this is the sea bird as the sea lion on in sown in Central
America these days. the sea Bird was here in La Paz Last week loading passengers.

their cruise ships are much, much smaller (and cruises more expensive) than themonster cruise ships like sank in Italy this week
here is their baja itinerary:
Day 1 La Paz/San Carlos/Embark Ship
Day 2-4 Bahia Magdalena
Day 5 Los Cabos and Gorda Banks
Day 6 Los Islotes and Isla Espiritu Santo
Day 7 Exploring the Sea of Cortez
Day 8 La Paz/Disembark/Los Angeles
About the ships:
Our twin expedition ships, National Geographic Sea Bird and National Geographic Sea Lion, can reach places inaccessible to larger ships due to their
small size, yet each comfortably accommodates 62 guests in 31 outside cabins. The feeling, we’re told, is often compared to that of a large private
yacht, with everyone integral to the adventure. Accessibility means freedom. Our captains have decades of sailing experience in the regions we
explore. They know when and where to navigate so that you feel the places we visit are all ours.
Thanks to our sturdy fleet of Zodiacs and virtually untippable kayaks, you can be off the ship and out exploring within a moment’s notice. Launch your
kayak from a picturesque beach, hike with our naturalists into the rain forest or walk easily along a sandy dune. During your time with us, our
expedition staff likes nothing better than to surprise and delight you by directing the ship toward breaching whales, bow-riding dolphins or into an
alluring cove.
Our seasoned crew consists of expert Zodiac drivers and considerate service providers. Their energy, enthusiasm and field expertise are sure to
enhance your experience. This is what expedition travel is all about : not just seeing wildness, but being out there, in it.Pompano - 1-17-2012 at 04:00 PM
About 50 came ashore this morning after dropping anchor. They seem to be plotting an adventure with our neighbor, NOLS. Which means anything from
kayaking to sailing to snorkling to volleyball.
A little like the Audobon Society cruises.
Got bird islands with rookeries? Yes!BajaBlanca - 1-17-2012 at 04:30 PM
I love that Lauriboats and Jim are cruising around on the new boat !! good on them !!
thanks for sharing !!Islandbuilder - 1-17-2012 at 04:52 PM
I don't want to hijack Pompano's thread, but check out our website:
We are the smaller, more intimate and more active alternative to NatGeo which is the smaller, more intimate and more active alternative to the mega
ships. (we're less expensive than NatGeol, and more than the mega's)
End of commercial hijack.BajaOkie - 1-17-2012 at 06:17 PM

It was docked in Santa Rosalia yesterday.Pompano - 1-20-2012 at 12:09 PM
And now it's on it's way again. Stayed one day and bugged out the next morning.....zooom.
Can't say I would like to be that hurried, but I'm assuming they have to keep on a ...ugh...schedule.
