No, it is quite a ways north of Este Ton as well, as north of his first camp site 'Humbug Bay'... New territory!

David, this is good stuff man! I love the labeling of the rocks to compare the two photos. It's amazing to me that they have not moved at all. And,
the cactus has not grown that much either.
The SAME boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg. It's about what you are made of NOT the circumstance.

Thanks, this was back on New Years, 2009... It was the Las Animas reference that had me flash back. A couple of Nomads have visited the mystery walls
that Choral and other believed were the aborted mission of Santa Marķa Magdalena. Click on the link in my signature to read the Discover Baja magazine
article on finding a lost mission...

David (or anybody in the know) -----
I have laminated copies of all of Gary Cunningham's "cruising charts" but unfortunately the charts of Isla Angel de los Guarda only shows details of
the north-end bays (Refugio), and the east coast baylets, and este ton on the west coast, but not details of the west coast entirely-----do you know
where there are any detailed maps on line for the Island? I could not find any decent maps on line.
Barry
On edit-------oooops, I just had your aerial maps come on line-----had not seen them before------very good!!!! Barry

I edited my reply to you, above... added two maps (one from Graham's book and one from SPOT, today).
The 2009 Baja California Almanac includes the island, and has 'Estaton' included. The 2003 Almanac has the island, but not much else.

I scanned the west coast of the Island at high resolution on google-earth and found many baylets one could use, and even found a pretty good size
ship-wreck about 1/3 of the way down the west coast from Refugio. The whole coast looks fascinating!!!

I've dropped my old cruiser's hook in Refugio many times. Like the name says, it's a great refuge.... from high winds especially!
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

This south facing beach is a good spot for Graham to camp and escape the strong north winds that are forecasted for the next couple of days (according
to sailflow)

That is certainly an unusual beach in DavidK's last photo------those deep scollops-------don't think I have seen that before. Wonder what causes
that?

Graham has moved!
About 2 km. inland from his seaside previous spot.
Looks like a big sandy area?

He's on a hike and showing us where he is hiking, I'll bet.

I didn't see any mention of taking any dogs in our email exchanges. I don't think so, as he was going to do some kayaking.
