March 11, 2020 The Power of Water

Day 3 Pescadero RV Park El Pescadero BCS, Mexico

Our outing today was to the beach at kilometer marker 92. Again, we had this beautiful stretch of beach all to ourselves…which turned out to be a very lucky thing.

The first thing we noticed was how much the beach had changed since our last visit on February 8th.

February 8, 2020

The surf and the waves had carved out giant amounts of sand and re-sculpted the shore, most dramatically around the rocks.

Today, the enormous waves were crashing violently. The surf was very rough as we quickly discovered when we got too close to the water’s edge. I was standing at the edge of where the water had been lapping on the sand…the next instant…I was on my butt up to my waist in ocean water with my pockets full of sand!!! Tim was also wet. We took off some of our clothes and Tim lit a small fire and crafted a makeshift clothesline to get things dry!!

I am quite sure we will remember this day!

We saw a few whales, one grey whale was particularly close.

Adventure is not always smooth…but we wouldn’t trade this adventure we are living in for sitting on our couch!!
