Downwinder Inn, El Sargento.


A cozy 6 room motel with a full outdoor kitchen and wifi.
Then there's Rowdy Yeats who runs the place. Great guy who runs Kite boarders to a launch spot and will pick them up 4 miles downwind after a day of thrashing the surf.

We don't kiteboard and Rowdy has become a great Baja Buddy. We'll be staying a few days on our way down to Cabo just to visit with him.

He drove us out to Lighthouse point early one morning while we all looked for shells then we took him over to "Bahia de los Muertos" for a great breakfast.

The name has been changed now to Bahia de los Suenos...Don't want to scare off the tourists, do we..:rolleyes:

I'm sure it hasn't, but this looks like it's had some serious manipulation. Maybe it's the level water horizon.

Nice shot....for sure.

Nope Dennis, it's out of the camera just sized down for posting.
Sun angle, contrast and I keep the unsharp mask up a little.

Don't feel the need to manipulate photos of Baja....:)

Here's another from just a few yard closer to the water....



Different angle so the sky doesn't get that polarizing effect.

Thanks though.
