The Remarkable Journey – Baja California and the Sea of Cortez

 

Once a year, National Geographic/Lindblad offers a very unique trip in the Sea of Cortez, “The Remarkable Journey.”   Two weeks long, this trip takes the traveler from the bays on the Pacific side, down and around Cabo San Lucas and far north in Baja California.  My second trip to this area, I’m posting just a few images from this trip as I was out of commission for a few days with a pulled muscle in my back, what fun that was…

I was shooting with an underwater housing for my Olympus O-MD, with the domed port so I could shoot the 7-14mm Olympus lens with the outfit, a favorite of mine for shooting underwater.

Hope you enjoy these few images from Baja….
