Hello all,

Our day at Isla San Marcos was a big success yesterday and today we focused on another island in the area: Isla Tortuga. 

Capt Chris and I hiked to the crater edge on this volcanic island. It was tough terrain with lava rocks and vegetation. We saw 6 rattlesnakes during our hike and we had lots of great views of the Sea of Cortez along the way.

We arrived at the crater and the view was tremendous! It was worth the trip. Everyone that made it there agreed. also everyone saw multiple snakes and lizards. Here is a photo from the rim of the crater!

We are north of Loreto and Bahia Concepcion, as you can see on the map at left, and will work our way south tomorrow. Our target island will be Isla Carmen, the large island off Loreto.
