San Felipe to Mulege' kayak trip Video slide show


Great views of the coast, including the Wall, from the deck of my sea kayak on a 30 day trip in 2008. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQSFy8fjbE0 , The music was played by me.

Super cool photo of the turtle...
Inspiring music...

Oustanding videography...
A dream of a trip, and the whole video is worth saving as a screensaver.

Really enjoyed your video - the glassy condtions were nice, huh? Also watched the Kanab Creek wilderness video - great also - especially the Whispering Falls area. Life is good!

Thanks! The Kanab Creek/ Grand Canyon Video is here if anyone is interested, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ouib_V4MdY . Baja reminds me of the Grand Canyon meets the Caribean. Both are such special places!

Thanks very much for posting.

A few logistic questions.

What electronic gear did you take, and how did you keep them charged?

How much fresh water did you carry and how did you replenish?

Great job with the photos, filming and the music!!!!!!!

My camera is a canon point and shoot powershot that takes AA batteries. I did have an old etrex gps that I use just to keep track of speed and mileage but used a Baja atlas to navigate,(the only accurate charts/maps available). It also uses AA batteries. it showed 499 statute miles. Rick came up with 400 miles using the same type but he did it in nautical miles and crossed the mouths of many bays that I followed the shorelines of. I carried 12 spare AAs and it was enough. We each had the capacity to carry 10 gallons of water. I used 4 10-liter dromedary bags made by MSR. I have used these for many years in the Everglades on long trips and they are almost indestructable .

THANKS FOR SHARING...

the amazing slide show of your trip!! What an amazing trip it must have been.
Clearly there is really incredible scenery to be seen from the seat of a kayak. I've fished off the coast on the SOC and seen many great views, but the up close is really something to see!
