This visit flew by. Feels mostly like nothing accomplished… But! Did get to introduce La Ventana to my buddy Eric and my brother Biggie. Also, my Moana is now scuba certified. And, I spent many hours spearing minimal fish (but, I did hit 2 tiny ones with one shot!). Got a strong reminder I can… Continue reading Another Break
Packed & Dined
Things shut down and locked up right quick. We’re getting better at this; help from Adam moving the jetskis and Moana owning kitchen cleaning certainly didn’t hurt. I only get mild heat brain, at most;) Flora Farms is our favorite restaurant we’ve found in Baja. Pro tip: you don’t need a reservation. I hope I… Continue reading Packed & Dined
Planning Slabbing

Jetski Summary
Time from dock to island party: ~3 hours. Time from island party to dock: 20 minutes. Adam hit 52 mph! Jetskis are great as long as the water is perfectly flat. Also the ocean is trying to kill you. Don’t think it is right now? You’re wrong: it’s just lulling you into a false sense… Continue reading Jetski Summary
Jetski “Party”
Island party was a bit too much, both the getting to the island part and the party. Legit, straight-up stupid of me to assume it was on the northern end of the island. Also dumb not to have left earlier, considering not sure where it was. Series of entirely preventable unfortunate events culminates in Adam… Continue reading Jetski “Party”
Look At This Octopus
Biggie!
Last born sibling first to visit!
Cabo: more American than America
But! This design area we stay in (I guess old central San Jose del Cabo?) has some pretty fine elements!
