Today, unusually flat calm conditions enabled us to make a rare landing at Punta Colorada on Isla San Jos‚. Here, salmon-colored sandstone cliffs rise above a turquiose sea, creating a dramatic setting for a morning kayak outing exploring this intricate coastline. On shore, hikers discoverd the rocks to be chock full of fossils, including a great variety of marine shells and whale bones. These layers may date back to the initial opening of the Gulf of California over 10 million years ago.
This afternoon we explored the underwater world along the cliffs with mask and snorkel. A barbecue dinner and bonfire on shore capped off a perfect day!
