Baja 1977

This is a Rolleiflex camera photo on Kodacolor film of my small trailerable swing keel sailboat, Paloma, upon our arrival at the Baja Peninsula after sailing across the Sea of Cortez from the mainloand of Mexico in 1977. This was our first successful attempt to make the crossing after a failed effort two years earlier. I describe these adventures in my book, Sailing the Sea of Cortez, Voyages of Discovery. The book is published by Apple with many photos and is downloadable from the Apple iTunes bookstore. The scene upon our arrival at Baja was full of contrasts with dazzlingly brilliant white sand beaches, turquoise green water and deep blue sky.
