A few weeks back, as an early 40th birthday present of sorts, my good friend Spence and I took a 7 day kayaking trip from Loreto to La Paz along the Sea of Cortez in Baja California Sur. In short, it was spectacular—soaking up sun and crystal blue waters during the day, camping on pristine beaches every night, eating fresh seafood, totally unplugged and loving every minute. Here are some of my photos from the trip. Unfortunately, I was not able to capture the bioluminescent organisms lighting up the waves lapping at the shore at night, so you’ll just have to close your eyes and imagine that beautiful scene.
That’s an awesome trip Lawrence! Glad to hear of it. Perhaps the lumees were jellyfish?
Yes! Jellyfish, among other things. Apparently there are a number of different organisms that have independently evolved bioluminescence, but I couldn’t tell you what they are. It’s kind of like a biolume stew 🙂
yum, stew. how all-inclusive was this? the tents look similarish. 🙂
The tour company Mar Y Aventuras took care of everything, except paddling 🙂
