Baja California Day 1
After our Alaska trip in 2013 it was clear from the accounts of our fellow travellers that we would have to make the trip to Baja California with Mark Carwardine. The catch of course is that one of us is a teacher so the stars would have to align (or at least the Easter school holiday) to make it possible. Fortunately in April 2017 we were finally able to line up the dates.....
The trip started in San Diego and as our departure was carefully timed so as to achieve an early morning rendezvous with customs in Mexico the following day we had the pleasure of a harbour cruise with the city lights in the distance and then our first real wild life encounters from the boat as we passed bait tanks near the entrance to the harbour.
While the pictures at the bait tanks are a little impressionistic (some might say noisy!) I quite like the yellow cast lighting and they're shots that would have been inconceivable for us before the 5D IVs - this was their first serious trip outing.
