Puerto Los Cabos Where Great Art and Good Food Meet

There are no traffic jams along the extra mile.

Roundabout at entrance of Puerta Los Cabos

Puerto Los Cabos in San Jose del Cabo only 15 miles from Cabo San Lucas but seemingly eons away. The marina is spotless with gorgeous xeriscape (there is also a cactus farm just around the corner) all around dotted with beautiful artwork from surrealist Leonora Carrington, an artist who died a short while ago at the age of 94 and who befriended people such as Pablo Picasso and Max Ernst. Pictured below is myself sitting on one of her sculptures.

Feliz Navidad – Merry Christmas – Joyeux Noël

Those who dance are considered insane

Holiday Coca Cola decorated cactus tree

Couldn't resist this picture of a type of cactus that looks much like a tree covered with 4oz red cans of coca cola as Christmas tree... Inventive and fun cheap recycling...

The Famous Land's End

Things turn out best for the people who make 
The best of the way things turn out.

Rounding the cape under sail - thank you s/v Blue Fin

Picture taken from Blue Fin, a beautiful sailboat owned by an Australian couple, of Déjàlà rounding Land's End in Cabo San Lucas. Our jib was rolled in as we were just coming out of some high winds and were rounding the cape not knowing what was around the corner.

Land's End on the way in

Over 1,100 nautical miles later, we are finally here. Not finally as this is a great destination but finally as in it is the end of what they call the “Outside Passage” ending by rounding a cape. Rounding capes is always interesting (and has a special name: cape effect) as many of you have heard of Cape Horn and others and this one was no exception.

Where all think alike there is little danger of innovation.

Beautiful sunset from South end of bay

Have been here seven days since the winds are not cooperating to head anywhere (never mind south). Patience is this new virtue I never knew I could possibly have this much of.

You can't study the darkness by flooding it with light.

Someone has a sense of humor

Before leaving the bay, heavy dew covered everything, a great opportunity to wash away all the sand from the Santa Ana winds and the salt from the last sail. Although I know it won’t last long it is satisfying to give Déjàlà a clean boost before her next leg.
