No, but you aren't that far off.
Puertecitos got started in the late 1950's... I have a 1919 Baja map with "Agua Charley" on it, where later it was called Agua de Chale... before the
name was changed to the current one, about 1967.

Just goofing with you DK, probably spmething that 3 nts
on Shell Isle wouldn't cure, although I understand in
winter San Felipe barely breaks 60 degrees.
Muertos Bay was my hangout in the late 80's- '90's,
I think it is Bahia Suenos

Nope... Ensenada (bay or harbor) is short for Ensenada de Todos Santos, from the Spanish days.
It is perhaps a very hard one... as I found it in a 1950's Baja guidebook.
I will give you some clues:
Colonia Revolucion was also called El Crucero before versions of the present name were used.

No, and it isn't Willard Bay either (or any bay for that matter)!
Hints: Baja Sur, a large city

#1 Salina Vizcaino - Guessing that would be Guerreo Negro for the nearby saltworks and Vizcaino Penninsula. Makes sense to me anyway. ??
