Graham, seeing the palm trees has me wondering... Have you dug to look for water there, since palms tend to grow where fresh water is close to the
surface?

Graham, since you seem to frequently be camping on windy beaches. I suggest you get a tent built for winds. Most of the tents you find at REI and
other outdoor stores are not adequately built for high winds, but if you look at the spendier ones, you will find the mountaineering tents are built
to withstand winds.
Some tents come with options of aluminum or fiberglass poles. Get the fiberglass poles, they do better in winds.
Get a good tent, and you can hunker down in wind storms in comfort w/o the annoyance of tent self-destructing in the middle of the night 
Woke!

Good advice about the tents. Thanks. Started to dream of a really good wind-proof tent.
I'm getting too old for the "body bag." Been resorting to for over 35 years. Tents I was using, and have been using for last decade, were Big-5
specials for $40.
Secretly liked the idea that cost of equipment would never hold me back. I'd go with what I could afford, and could walk away from it if necessary.
Yes, pretty sure there's underground water in those palm canyons, but nothing visible now with months of insignificant rain. But even the palms washed
down to the shore are surviving.
Last year hiked up one canyon after rain and there were pools everywhere.

Thanks for the post Graham.
I am missing Baja this year unfortunately. It is great to live vicariously through your report and photos. I hope to take my Windrider 17 from BOLA
to Mulege next November.

BOLA to Mulege, actually Bahia Concepcion, was the second stage of my kayak to La Paz. Amazingly beautiful, you'll love it. Take care and have an
enjoyable safe journey.
Weather was great for me first half of November.
