A PLEASANT SURPRISE by Tom W

I pictured my first Baja sea kayaking trip with sweat constantly pouring down my face and the salt water stinging my eyes as I tried to paddle, just to move a few meters a minute,  into the blowing headwind. I thought that after unloading the kayaks, with the flies constantly on red alert, the tents would be quickly  put up just to find shelter from the sun and wind.  I imagined picking the beach particles out of my dinner as the only constant adventure and that the Secret Spot was really just the best place to take a dump without walking too far. I expected the sun to bake me alive at 7am in the tent and envisioned myself dreaming of a warm shower, soft bed and a cold beer.

 When Phill met me at the airport in Loreto, I was in for a surprise.  

 


Tom brings it home

The Baja adventure was unbelievably beautiful!  Snorkeling in crystal clear coves, paddling with dolphins, and nightly feasts on the beach (including ingesting a tasty fish that I caught). Phill took care of everything-- from food to daily activities--with endless enthusiasm. His ability to make the trip a relaxing one was great. Just what I needed!  

Highlights?  The comedy of the posing  ‘muscle woman’? A sea of glass with the moon and stars mirrored upon it? Naked women in the pool after the kayak trip? The jugs of margaritas at Phill’s favorite restaurant in the World? Hmmmm…

 The trip was one of the most relaxing and fun I have ever had the chance to be on and I would go back in a heartbeat.
