FOG
For the past 3 days we have had a marine layer sitting off the coast. It ebbs and flows making for very strange temperature fluctuations. Yesterday
around 5pm it was so foggy that the street lights came on. I could not see across my lot. Today I had clothes on the line that were dry. I had to
stop bringing them in for about 45 minutes as the fog rolled in and when I got back to them they were wet again.
Anyone else seeing this?
Is this La Nina?

Fog
Fog along the coast at Loreto past 2 days. About the only thing rarer here is a camel stampede.

No, I think it's probably fog.

Ah Judy - You are former San Francisco Bay Area resident - ya really gonna call that stuff fog?!
Gene has been complaining about the fog for 3 days now. I say, this doesn't hold a candle to the homeland.... not until the water's dripping off you
can it be called fog. 
Hopin' to see you during the hot months,

We saw it in San Jose on Sunday, and it was here on Monday and today (Tues). We had to go to CSL today, nothing there, but could see the marine layer
against the shore when arriving back in BuenaVista about 2:30 this afternoon. It rolled out a little about 4PM, but rolled back in about 5PM. It is
now 9Pm, and it is inland enough to know that people around here don't know how to drive with it. Can't see past 2 houses away. It is not cold, but
everything is wet.

Had dense fog here on Pacific side (west of La Paz) for three days - yet not totally unusual. May is thick fog month.
There is a large water melon growing in the (totally unirrigated) eaves of the beach palapa. How it survives, let alone thrives, I don't know.

Egg on my face...again...when our guest Nomad with the fancy Land Cruiser asked about fog when he arrived..."Oh fog is EXTREMELY rare here..we see it
offshore and in the hills but not HERE!" So naturally there was a thick fog his first morning here and in fact for the 3 days he was here!! there was
a rare south west wind that blew in inshore. Weird indeed but a nice break from the sun every day. ONe word of caution about fog...drivers here don't
see it much and dont quite understand that you cant stop your vehicle with no visibility and there are LOTS of accidents as most drive way too
fast....aguas!

Hey Rob, do you have a web site with photos of your part of Baja?
I camped at Punta Conejo back in 1985 and really liked the beach there. Local fishermen came to meet us one morning and later brought us a gift of
fish they just caught... amazing! Oh yah, the hermit crabs were great too...
Of course there were no 'homes' along that coast besides the fishermens huts at the point.
Thanks!

Rob lives south of Conejo...
On this satellite image, you can see the fishermen's homes on the north side of the point and a few 'houses' to the south of the point...

Okey doke... I'll eat my words - payback time. The "fog" is dripping off my body after a morning walk in Ensenada... but I do think we're calling it
rain.

Is the west coast of Baja Sur socked in right now?
I am thinking of flying into San Juanico today.

I wasnt going to call you on that but the FOG was dripping off my hair and my glasses were covered in some sort of moisture and it wasnt rain.
It rolled back in yesterday afternoon and the marine layer is sitting out there on the water(the la nina water, dave) so maybe more today.
I am with Shari. It is nice for a change. Wish it would come back in Aug and Sept. A 10 degree drop in temp would be welcomed then for sure.

It's been in Punta Banda area, too. We're new to the area so don't know if it's usual or not. First day of spring brought us showers.

Hi,
For Googlers - Rancho la Aguja is at 23.988347, -110.901114
We are about 14km south of Conejo, hour west of La Paz - and no, there are no homes at Punta Conejo, just a fish camp and a ranch house last time I
looked.
David K (and others) - I spent many years in the computer industry, play with Photoshop, Illustrator, Google etc but there is something about posting
photos to Baja Nomad that totally defeats me. Let me try and find the instructions (again) and will put up two or three of the best.
Rob
