Hello all,

For our final day on this research trip, we stayed another day at Isla Cerralvo. Our schedule was a little more relaxed than the rest of the trip. Our scientists needed time to work on their notes, enjoy some snorkeling time and recover from 12 days of hiking and collecting. The consensus from all is that the trip has been a huge success with new records of plants, insects, mammals, and reptiles. The data will be submitted and a new book on the islands of the southern Sea of Cortez will be published.
It was a privilege for Team Searcher to be a part of this expedition and help rewrite science for the region. Thanks to everyone involved, especially Sula Vanderplank.

We ended our day with one of Baja’s famous colorful sunsets!
