Isla Coyote
When we passed this island headed north, we all wanted to stop but decided to save it for the return trip. It is one of the few populated islands in
the Sea of Cortez.

As we approached the island, it became obvious that although it was populated, there were not many people living there.
These men were cleaning rays for machaca. They had several bags of salt ready for the process

These conch shells are hung on special pegs so the fishermen know who is on the water and who is on island.

hay now that is a unique system of keeping track of the fisherman. it is allot like the system used buy miners when they go underground.

Thank you, thank you Judy, for a marvelous beginning to my morning. These photos tell a wonderful story of the way of life on this island. And at
last we get to know the whereabouts of the statue like the one in La Paz.
A very good thread, indeed.

A little addition to the story, The base camp for isla Coyote is about 4-5 miles south on the road to San Everisto, or about 25 miles in from the
Pemex on Hwy 1 17K north of La Paz. I think if a person wanted to go to the Island you could go to their base camp and ask them to take you there for
a charge of course, they have many Pangas working out of there and they transport their own people and supplies to the isla from there.

Hey Comi
I remember a story by carol about your adventure near there, dont I?
I cant believe that I forgot the other business on the island. The ladies make bracelets from shells and other materials.
