Opinion needed

at Cabo San Lucas, San Jose del Cabo or somewhere on the east cape area.......trying to win a bet, 6 pack of Negra Modelo, LOL

Officially Cabo San Lucas is the dividing line, but the Pacific doesn't calm into a 'gulf' until north of Cabo Pulmo, wouldn't most say?

Kind of a dumb question. I'd say draw a line from Cabo's Arch even with a parallel to the main land and call that the southern boundary. But, again,
how would you call boundaries on the North Sea or the Bering Sea for instance. Endless source of discussion.

The International Hydrographic Organization defines the southern limit of the Gulf of California as: "A line joining Piastla Point (23°38'N) in
Mexico, and the southern extreme of Lower California".[4]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_of_California
The Gulf of California (also known as the Sea of Cortez or Sea of Cortés or Vermilion Sea; locally known in the Spanish language as Mar de Cortés or
Mar Bermejo or Golfo de California) is a body of water that separates the Baja California Peninsula from the Mexican mainland. It is bordered by the
states of Baja California, Baja California Sur, Sonora, and Sinaloa with a coastline of approximately 4,000 km (2,500 mi). Rivers which flow into the
Gulf of California include the Colorado, Fuerte, Mayo, Sinaloa, Sonora, and the Yaqui. The gulf's surface area is about 160,000 km2 (62,000 sq mi).
The Gulf is thought to be one of the most diverse seas on the planet, and is home to more than 5,000 species of macro-invertebrates.[2] Home to over a
million people, Baja California is one of the longest peninsulas in the world, second only to the Malay Peninsula in Southeast Asia.[3] The Gulf of
California is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The tip at Cabo San Lucas is the traditional divider between the gulf and the ocean, but I have never heard where the other end of the line is in
Sinaloa. Directly east from Cabo San Lucas? I will see if I can find it.

No worry. I already found it.

Seems to me the furthest southern latitude is cabo. Follow that lat. line to mainland and anything north is the sea o cortez.

So, bajagrouper, what was your bet and who won the beer!!???
The SAME boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg. It's about what you are made of NOT the circumstance.

That's an easy one for me. It starts when I come down the grade into Santa Rosalia when I first see the water.

Thank's Matt... I searched in Gene Kira's site without luck.
Here is that point (23º38') on the map... as you can see, it is a bit north of Cabo San Lucas...

That is one of the poorer choice thread titles, indeed. But that's okay, we had fun!

What's the diff, it's all salt water.
Why do Liberals insist and demand that achievers pay the way for nonachievers who are to lazy to succeed, or are just failures by their own choice?
Criminals prefer unarmed victims, dictators prefer unarmed subjects.
Why do ignorant people continue their blabbering when it only proves to others how stupid they are.
