January 27-29, 2003

We spend the morning in Cabo at the pool, but we are surprised how cool it is, at least in the morning. It doesn’t warm up till the afternoon. Being this far south I expected Cabo to be hot like the Caribbean. I suppose it is more like Arizona and the desert environments. Without clouds and humidity, the heat radiates out at night and then has to rewarm during the day.

I want to go scuba diving in the area, as the Baja is famous for Pelagics, i.e. large sea creatures like Whale Sharks. The local dive shop though says the water at this time is very murky because of the mixing of cold pacific water with the warm gulf water. We decide to skip it until a future vacation farther up the Gulf of California. Instead we hit one of the golf courses along the rocky coast between the two Cabo cities.

On Tuesday evening, we shuttle to Cabo San Lucas to take our other condo freebie, the pirate cruise. It is relaxing cruise around the bay out to the Cabo Rocks. It is mostly an excuse to drink.
