Well, I have been in Mexico now for a few weeks and it's been crazy being back at work. The waves are a lot worse here than in Alaska so we have had to deal with a great deal of seasickness. Luckily, I have yet to fall victim to the waves. We are half way through our third week of cruising following one week of training. During training I learned that if I am ever stranded in a life raft at sea and a puffer fish jumps into the raft I should not eat it. I got paid to learn that, which was kinda nice and kinda a waste of time.

Anyway, Mexico is very beautiful and we have seen some pretty amazing things and I barely get to get off the boat. There is one day when the passengers get to get snorkelling with sea lions. I am hoping to get to go one day, but I have been able to take some pretty cool photos of them. There are incredibly noisy and we can hear them barking all the way from the boat.


I have not been able to take that many photos because I spend so much time working, but I am going to work on taking more photos and as I do I will work on getting them posted up here and explain a bit about them.

Here is a photo of Los Arcos. Los Arcos is the southernmost point in Baja California Sur and is where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortes. Each week we pass it around dusk as we leave Cabo San Lucas at the beginning of the cruise and then again around dawn the last day of the cruise as we return at the end of the cruise.


Lastly, for now anyway, here is a photo of the really bad weather we experienced. I took some amazing videos of the waves crashing over the bow. The morning I took the pictures we were experiencing 6 to 8 foot swells. That night we couldn't leave our anchor location because the waters we were going to enter had 14 foot swells and that is higher than our bow.
