We got to camp at around 4:00 PM on Sunday. We set up the campo and hit the hay. When I got up the next day at 7:00 AM, the tide was high, but already boring out. I roused It and we set out getting the boat ready. We launched her and I ran her up to our take-out at Roger's Bay. We headed back to make coffee. It was calm and promised to be a good day for fishing. About two cups into a good pot o' Joe, the swells started rolling in. Before long, the north wind was up and the sea was whipped into a pretty good chop. No fishing today. We put the new refrigerator into the main trailer and fixed a few other things. Ed and Donna arrived at about 3:30 PM. That evening, the winds were offshore...orographic air drainage. It was quite chilly. We ate inside and watched Dracula with Bela Lugosi. Whatever you do...don't open this DOOR.

The next morning, It and Ed caught a few nice Paloma Pompano from shore. The sea was glass, but 3 foot swells continued to roll-in. It was a tad too nasty to launch. Ed broke in my new grill that Cathy gave me for Christmas. The Pompano were quite tasty. Later that day, the swells subsided. The three of us ran up to 3 Humps to get some Spotted Bay Bass for fish tacos, while Donna took it easy on shore. Clouds started to blow in that night, which down there usually means calm seas. When the sun broke the next day, it was one of those hallmark Baja sunrises. The colors in this one were spectacular.

Ed launched the next day after the swells pretty much subsided and we ran out to the islands.

Brian was down from San Felipe and was staying at Ronnie's house with his daughter and her boyfriend. Wayne & Janet's bud Bob, from Kenai, Alaska and San Felipe (depending on what time of the year you catch him) was staying at the Smith's. Gene's friend Chuck, from New Mexico was staying down at Gene's trailer to the south. Here's a shot up the beach.

Brian was actually camping right on the beach by our take-out.

We just sorta hung out by the boats.

Here's Ed &Donna.

That night, the sunset was darn good, if not spectacular. Pan across.

Here's another view, a little later, another panorama over the Sierras.

A little later yet, it looked like this.

The next day it cleared out. The sunset was a patented Baja Pastel Sunset over the island.

A day later, the setting sun cast a reddish hue over the whole region. It was really pretty.
