They plan to paddle all the way to the tip in Cabo arriving Wednesday I believe.
Yes, fine conditions out there today. Glassy, well overhead. I'm tired!
No b-tchin\' in the Baja.

Plan to finish on Wed sometime late morning/afternoon at El Arco. Perhaps wash up on the beach break on the Pacific side and get some bodysurfing in.
Any good ideas on a nice place for a cold beer post Arch?

Well that was quite a ride... or it will be in a couple days. It was fun following your position until you lost the SPOT east of San Ignacio! Good
luck with the future NatGeo story and TV special I hope they do!

You mean it's over?
WOW...Those PBs covered some fast ground.
Like DK says....can't wait to see the Special....and you had better get your butts out of the water before this trash boat runs right over you.

From their facebook 5/21
"18 miles from #Cabo.
No more days like this. Our backdrop now: Hyatts and Hiltons. There's swell in the water and we're anxious to get in. We finish Wednesday at Cabo's
famous Arch around noon. Meet us for a drink if you're around."

Think so?? I hope they aren't using their own compass. 
I didn't notice this before, but I know it means something:

West is at the top, but it is not opposite of east, but instead, south... weird.

Glad to hear that, Geoff.
What do you think? Tourism is improving in Baja?

I think it is definitely improving. 2012 was an amazing year and 2013 is looking to surpass it. Friends in the vacation rental business in Baja Norte
have also said that they are filling up quickly for the summer and hitting rental numbers that they have not seen since 2007.
Let's hope the surf doesn't get too crowded...

Or Sharky's. A man's gotta have a quiet place to reflect on life.

It would be of interest to have some demographics to go along with those numbers.....like what segment of US society is crossing in such numbers as to
swing the status of dismal tourism as we've been seeing.
It's been my impression that a lot of US Mexicans are returning to La Tierra for visits and I'm wondering if they're making this difference. They
would probably be able to see beyond the crime scare more readily than one with no historical connection to the country.
Jes wonderin', thas all.

I agree Dennis. In my personal experience lately I have come across these different groups:
1. People that have always been visiting that were not dissuaded by the media/violence reporting
2. People that used to come all the time, but stopped for a few years, and are now coming back, having a great time and wondering why they stopped
coming in the first place
3. "New" people that have never traveled to Baja Norte that are coming to check out the food/wine scene
4. People that are taking advantage of very affordable housing in TJ that commute to their jobs in CA.
Of course....I still come across plenty of people that think I am insane for traveling to Mexico as much as I do.
US Mexicans are also a big factor...especially around the holidays.
All I know is a few weeks ago I crossed south on a Friday afternoon and it took a looooong time and most of the plates were CA.
