Maybe there is another 'Mag Bay' we all don't know about? 
The 'Mag Bay' we do know about is nowhere in the Sea of Cortez, however!

Yes, I agree with David K. These areas are not anywhere to be seen on the Sea of Cortez side. However, I clearly see them on the Pacific side on my
Baja Almanac. Bob H

Since we are nitpicking,
it is my understanding, feel free to correct me if
I'm wrong, I think the term officially is the
Gulf of California (aka Sea of Cortes
or the Vermillion Sea)
Saw Jacque C in Loreto once
mucho anos antes

Yes, it is the Gulf of California.
The Sea of Cortez (English spelling) was what the Gringo Gazette writer called it, and is the poetic 'other' name for the gulf...
Mar de Cortés (with an s) is the Spanish spelling.

The "dude" from the Gringo Gazette is a Mexican national who has lived in the Los Cabos area for 20 years. Worked at the Melia Hotel, then went to
work for Carrie Duncan. Eventually became her partner and is now the editor of the paper as well as co-owner of their weird combo boutique hotel and
nightclub called Splash. I know for a fact that he has traveled extensively at least as far North as Loreto to peddle papers and sell ad space. Maybe
I'm a tad surprised about the SOC reference, but I'd give him a break. He's a really good guy.

Oops. You got me there. Dunno what I was thinking. Nevertheless, it's a bit of a strange place. Just to show how feeble I am, we actually were in
Scoop. Not as a destination, but rather, we had parked uptown and were headed to Mocambo for dinner. Passed by and decided to check it out. Mocambo,
by the way, is one of the best choices in Los Cabos for honest seafood dinners. It has the ambiance of a 4H club exhibit building at the county fair.
But the menu is huge and the food is really good. Just a couple of block up from the main drag in Cabo.

Since we are now nitpicking (?), "anos" are for proctólogos.

Oh, Yes! I'd rather see "mucho años" then have to see "mucho anos""!!!   
Whenever I hear that rainy, chill wind blow. I think it may be time to head for Mexico. Tengo que obedecer mi corazon!
