The Blue Star Delos was the biggest ferry we took on the trip. Lots of space inside and out, snack and coffee bars, a Goody's fast food restaurant, and a shop. We snagged a couch, table, and easy chairs for the last portion of the trip, and enjoyed a commanding view out the front windows. (Probably not the correct nautical terms.)

We're just a few miles out from Mulege.
Godfrey and I took turns flying. The Mexicali-Mulege leg was mine. The Mulege airport (named "El Gallito" -- or "The Little Rooster") has a long, dusty dirt airstrip. The crosswinds were whipping across the runway, and made for an interesting landing.
(By the way, Mulege is home to a Saturday Night cock fight, generally held in the basketball court across from the main plaza. We wondered if this has anything to do with the name "El Gallito")
Another image inspired by my book, Rickard Through the Veil. Here's a passage:
I always think about how embarrassing it would be if you failed a suicide attempt. People would feel obligated to come and see you, and spend actual time looking into your face with nothing but caring thoughts because that's what brings us together. Crisis. Someone almost biting the big one, catching a wave to the undertow, the big goodbye, salutations, farewell, and goodnight.
But I wanted to be alone. That was the difference. I concentrated on the song playing in the living room. I put it on repeat, so the neighbors would complain. I didn't want to rot away in a pool of muddy corpse sludge. I wanted to have a nice looking corpse. One that people would say, man, what a handsome guy. He had everything to live for. Sob, manly hug, turn, and wipe eye with instep of thumb for maximum coverage.
I had nothing to live for. I had a job. A job is no reason to live. It's a reason to die. The water was turning to merlot around me, and I could hear old Layne crowing:
“Why's it have to be thissa way?
“Beeeeee thissa wayaaaayayyyyyyyy?”

On short final FUE the 1000m (!) displaced threshold can clearly be seen. Weather circumstances very nice and GO Pro cameras are widely used, as can be seen from this pic.
