Show Me the Way to Go Home.......

May 28, Monday On Memorial Day morning, we broke camp and kayaked back across the bay and took off to parts north.

On the way home, we passed Mision de Santo Tomas Winery which makes that wonderful Vino Tinto. We used to call it "Vino Tainto", but that is another story, another life and another decade.

It was a wonderful trip and I recommend it and Marie Humphrey to everyone.

Thanks again, Marie

A whale of a whale..........

May 27, Sunday
In the morning we traveled towards the false bay and came across a baby whale, a juvenile whale and an adult whale. They gave us quite a show, even passing directly under our boats.

After the whale frolicking, we beached for lunch and a walk over the dunes to the ocean.

On the way back, we passed some oyster farming.

Once back, Marie whipped a great (?) salad of really green sea lettuce.

After another great dinner, we had our final campfire.......

Home With a View

Saturday, May 26

After breakfast, we were off to the opening of San Quintin Bay. We found the ocean really calm, so we went out into the open ocean and got close to a sea lion rookery. We came back around the point and landed for lunch and to check out the tide pools.
Friends-
Marie found some great sea slugs.......
After we returned to camp, some of us were really tired.........

Colin's cooler was working........

Dinner and some more of Colin's "magic"- even Marie did some song and dance with a little magic..........

San Quintin Bay, here we come.........

May 25, Friday This morning we started our Valley Wide Kayak Club sponsored paddle with Marie Humphrey of FAMILY KAYAK ADVENTURE CENTER to San Quintin Bay, Mexico. We were pieces of eight.

Our forever wonderful leader/ guide Marie-

Colin - Barbara- Pat and Karen (w/ Marie)- George and Linda- and me-

It was a five hour drive to San Quintin in Marie's suburban with her trailer holding all our boats. Our first stop was San Miguel for a pit stop.

Finally arriving, we crossed a sandy peninsula and launched from a small Mexican fish camp.

We paddled across the bay to our own deserted peninsula. We passed some kite surfing on the way over, then stuck our paddles in the sand and declared this small estuary "Campo Relaxo".

This small area became our kitchen, living room, dining room and recreation room. This is my tent with a view. Across the bay you could see volcanic mounts. By now, we're pretty hungry, so Pat started cooking dinner.After some "after dinner talk" and some magic presented by "Colin the Great", we all turned in at-----------------8:11 PM !!!!!

Dinner for two- again

May 19, Saturday This weekend is Paso's 25th Wine Festival, so the B&B and all is Paso is really packed. Two of our guests are from San Francisco, two are from Austin, Texas and the last two are from Florida- who would have thought this festival was so big??!!

Marlowe left tickets for a winemakers dinner at Sylvester Winery, where most of his grapes go. It was in their barrel room with a five piece band.

We really enjoyed it- Thanks, Corinne and Marlowe.......
