It was beautiful out there.... the Baja coast is just awesome. Just checked the memory cards from the defunct cameras. Cards are fine... so I'll post
more pictures as I can.
I was carrying the Survivor-35 hand pump desalinator. Dang thing must weigh about a dozen pounds but worked well and gave me gallons of drinking
water.
Way better than boiling seawater and condensing the steam. Though I had that set up as backup.
It was the second one I had. The first my wife bought for me on eBay or Amazon and I used as is... lasted for a couple of months while I was out on
Guardian Angel Island, then blew apart when I was back home and getting it ready for storage. I made a youtube about that... search for survivor-35
fails.
The model I had on this trip was reconditioned with new filter and seals, etc. It was the one that Bryan and Justin carried on their What is West Baja
walk and paddle board adventure.
They never needed it and I bought it off them after they finished their trip.
Towards the end of my journey I was using it every day and every chance I got, and often drank directly from the tube when thirsty.
That was good advice about catching the countercurrents close to shore. And for me, staying close to shore was paramount anyway. Getting hit by a
westy too far from the safety of the beach or rocks was the surest way to get myself killed.
