While the snow flies,and our kayaks are 'resting', others are thinking of warmer climes and exploring our curious planet for the wanderering. Here is a recent email from Martine from our San Juan Island visit to whet your imagination and power your planning 'beyond the snow':
"Greetings! So I was thinking about you and your group of ladies and was wondering if you are still interested in Baja possible in March when I will be leading 2 trips on March 6-13 and March 13-20, 2011.
Alaska Airlines just put flights on sale to Mexico and Baja and this time of year it sounds like the perfect getaway with all the wet and cold weather we have been experiencing in the Northwest. You would fly in and out of Loreto and I think it would be a wonderful paddle adventure for you and a group of ladies. Where the paddle trip is run outside of the Loreto area is one of my favorite places in the world to kayak in the world. It would be great if you could get 10 to 12 ladies to fill the trip but even if just a few women could join the tour I know everyone would have a trip of a life time in Baja.
We run week long tours in the Loreto area and both trips have space availability and I have enclosed the link about the trip.
Kayak Trips in Mexico’s Blue Whale Triangle & Loreto Islands Park
Detailed itinerary for our most popular Baja kayak trip: Sea Kayaking with Blue Whales in the Loreto Islands Marine Park.
Loreto is a very safe community and there are many fun things to do in the Loreto area and here a few suggestions:
· Whale Watching Tours with Gray Whales in Baja’s Magdalena Bay
(If you could down to Loreto a few days earlier than the kayak tour I could set up a trip to Magdalena Bay for you) Detailed itinerary for the Gray Whale Watching Safari Camp in Magdalena Bay of Baja Mexico - pet the friendly gray whales and their calves!
If you like history and rugged scenery, you should visit the 300-year old San Javier Mission in the Sierra Giganta Mountains. You can rent a car and take the drive yourself (it is easy to find the mission as the road goes directly there) or you can hire a taxi. Be sure to check with local folks before departing as heavy rains can severely damage the road.
Sport fishing is excellent in the Sea of Cortez. I recommend the Baja Big Fish Company www.bajabigfish.com. A few years ago I went on a sunrise fishing trip with them and they did a really nice job.
The Dolphin Dive Center www.dolphindivebaja.com has scuba and snorkel trips. I suggest visiting Coronado Island (in view a few miles north of Loreto) for an easy day trip to a beautiful destination that does not duplicate areas you will visit on your kayaking expedition
