The images presented were taken in the 1990's. Taken as prints, there is degradation when going from print to digital images. Also, where we were traveling sometimes delayed processing for weeks or months and humidity played havoc with the undeveloped film. Still, I wanted to share our experiences through the pictures we took.

Summer 1990. A common cruising plan was to spend the hurricane season in the Sea of Cortez. More specifically the north part of the Sea. Why? Because it's too far north for any significant storms to land. We had a soft spot in our hearts for the Sea and thought it would be exciting to explore it in our own boat. So, after spending several weeks in Zihautanejo, we headed north along with a few others we knew. Going back north is like climbing a hill or going uphill. That means going against the prevailing winds and currents. We arrived in La Paz in May, two months after leaving Zihuatanejo. We were in the Sea by June 1990. Our summer was spent in many remote, off-the-beaten-path places, meeting up with friends, snorkeling, scuba diving, and just living life on a small boat. Yes, it was HOT! Yes, there were bugs! But also, yes, there were potlucks, yes, we had an abundance of sea life to eat and to marvel at, snorkeling and scuba diving were awesome and yes there were adventures. We were glad we made the decision to explore the Sea first, which is in our back yard, before moving on to other parts of the world.
