OUR NEW NEIGHBORS

No, it's not just another mega yacht at Marina Costa Baja, it is National Geographic's, Sea Bird.
Sea Bird
And why is National Geographic in La Paz? Well, as Jacques Cousteau described, the Sea of Cortez is the "world's aquarium" and "the Galapagos of North America". That's why!
If you want to read more about the Sea of Cortez, I encourage you to read Nobel Prize winning author, John Steinbeck, joined by marine biologist Ed Ricketts, in an expedition that resulted in his 1941 best-selling classic "The Log of the Sea of Cortez". Steinbeck's "The Pearl" is another famous Sea of Cortez tale. Enjoy.


A new bronze sculpture of Jacques Cousteau 
looking out to the Sea graces the Malecon.

Just one of the many many many characters living in The Sea.
We are hoping to see a whale shark tomorrow as we sail the Bay.
 Note the Costa Baja Gold Course Club House up on the hill behind the poster.
