Good weather reports and pictures, Amigos. Cloudy on and off down south, Peskys, coming in from the south. Much cooler nites now in mid 60s and calm
days after n last weekends windy weather. Surf? Maybe one last south swell but it's been flat here which means great fishing--water temps dropping
to upper 70s. Still very nice for a paddle or swim. Enjoy. Tio

An amendment to my post above...
I was corrected by some folks after I had written the above...
Apparently thunderstorm-line rain showers moved through the area last night and areas just outside B.A. got soaked with "downpours" lasting several
minutes.

there are white caps and squals with several rain cells a bit offshore heading our way but may just slip by us to the north...a good day to head out
to the desert for some pitahaya hunting!

Shari,
Okay....now I am confused I have not yet had the luxury of sampling this Baja
treasure....and in looking for info re: type of cactus they grow on, I came up with this info: Pitahaya (AKA Dragon Fruit) are different from
Pitaya.
Pitahaya:
Pitaya:
I have read the articles and I see they are related and the Dragon Fruit is also being commercially grown in Mexico.
WIKI:
A pitaya /pɨˈtaɪ.ə/ or pitahaya /ˌpɪtəˈhaɪ.ə/ is the fruit of several cactus species. "Pitaya"
usually refers to fruit of the genus Stenocereus, while "Pitahaya" or "Dragonfruit" always refers to fruit of the genus Hylocereus.
Thanks for any clarification.....

2:20PM B.A. update...
Moderate rain lasting around 7 minutes. Now a drizzle, then a sprinkle. Will tamp down the dust and wash grimy leaves. Get the place all nice and
green for folks coming down...

Tastes real close to boiled iguana, but a whack of chili perks it right up...

Bob,
Yep...it's winter up here.....
Our big football championship game, The Grey Cup, is on Sunday...in an outdoor stadium in Regina w/ forecast of 0'C. but it is -27'C there
today....that is "fumbling" temps, for sure. 
Don't believe everything you think....

Not only is the fruit delicioso but the dried up flower stems are lovely to smoke. ranchers smoke them when they run out of cigarettes!
Ged...I will freeze some to make you my world famous Pitahaya Margaritas! Maybe we'll have em at Timo's Grey Cup Party on Sunday eh!

"No stems and seeds that we don't need....Pitaya Red....is bad-ass" 
I remember smoking dried washed-up reeds at the lakeshore when I was a kid in Manitoba.....
Thanks for the identifying cactus....I have had a few close encounters with them when riding.....
Enjoy the game....eh!
