We had a fun day yesterday. In the morning we did a little dinghy exploration of the point and beach along the bay. We happened on a school of tens of small rays swimming very close together with the tips of their wings breaking the surface.

In the afternoon we climbed up the rocky hill behind Los Frailes point which is about 750 feet high. There is no trail but it is pretty easy to walk up the rocks and through the scrub. It took us about 45 minutes to get to the top. The view on top was really nice. We could see both sides of the point. The picture above is from the top facing north towards Cabo Pulmo. We plan to snorkel the Pulmo reef today.

Around sunset the young Australian couple on the boat next to us ("Shambala") came over for sun-downers and to exchange information. They sailed from Australia through Micronesia, Japan, and Alaska before working there way down the West Coast of North America to Mexico. It was a good time and fun to talk with some other world cruisers.

During our cocktail hour another boat close to us broke out a trumpet and serenaded the anchorage. He was very good and fittingly played "Tequila" for the final encore.

For dinner we did a mixed fish taster's menu with ginger wasabi marinated ahi, teriyaki mahi mahi, and spicy rubbed spotted mackerel. The clear cut winner was the ahi but the sierra was a close second. Of course fresh mahi mahi is no slouch either.

We also enjoyed some margaritas, more of Tom's wine, lively discussions, and the "Ocean Oasis" nature video of Baja California. It was a good day.
