Oct 30, 2017

Awoke early, 5am. The Big Dipper was hanging directly outside our window. There are too many lights on the boat to see very many stars but those that are visible were stunning. There were some lights on the horizon; seems we were close to Cabo San Lucas. There was barely a breeze and it was a warm, slightly sticky heat, mid-70’s, I’d guess.

I headed up to the bow and had a cup of tea while watching a spectacular sunrise. The sky was pink, turquoise and gold. Lots of lights sparkled on shore – maybe a highway? As the sky brightened, I could see lots of whitecaps along the shore. Turns out they weren’t whitecaps, they were boats, hundreds of little boats, heading out of the bay for a day of sightseeing and fishing.


Our ship rounded the point, swinging north, and into the bay of Cabo. Long white beaches, thousands of condos and hotels climbing the bare brown hills, not a tree or a bird in sight. It’s all desert, catering to tourists.





Jim joined me on deck and we watched the tenders start their ferrying of shore excursions.

We elected to say on-board, sunbathing, swimming and reading. Very nice and quiet. Listened to classical music again in the atrium, chatting with bartenders Christian and Honey. They know our names and cocktail preferences J We dined in the Horizon Café and then called it an early night.
