The Mighty Pacific Grey Whales
March 5th From January through to the end of March the mighty Grey Whale annual migration passes along Mexico’s Baja Peninsular. Dotted along the coastline lie protective inlets, where expectant mothers seek the warmer & safer waters to give birth. These inlets...
La Ventana continued…
It’s cold, Baja in January is cold. Chilly North winds that are so much fun to kite in, aren’t as much fun to ‘live’ in. We’ve pulled on the puffy jackets, wool hat and Ugg boots. Instead of a cold beer after kiting, it’s a hot cuppa tea. I’m more grateful...
Fishing Trip to the Island – by Jaxon
From our camp at the beach we can see a big brown island. It’s too far away to swim to, but in Dean’s boat we were there in about a half an hour. We left the boat launch at 8am, to go fishing out in the bay and be back in time to go to school at 12...
The day I caught my first fish – by Jaxon
January 12, 2021 I love fishing and I go as much as I can. I would rather go fishing than do boring school work. I like fishing in the mornings and casting from the beach, sometimes I take the paddle board out and try to catch fish, but I haven't caught one yet. Our...
A kids day in La Ventana – by Charley

Our La Ventana Bubble
November While the global pandemic rages on we sit in our beautiful beach bubble feeling only slightly affected by it all. While USA is spinning compass, our biggest decision of the day is which size kite to pump. While Canada's Covid curve is flattened vertically, we...
Back to Baja & Day 365
October 17 Mainland to Baja Crossing Baja Ferries operations are complicated, nothing is simple or straight forward, but we’re loaded and happy to make the last crossing of the next 3 days. Happy to pass an uncomfortable night in the brightly lit, cold...
My year on the road – by Charley
I remember when we left home, the days were starting to get cooler which meant Winter was on its way, it was October 29th 2019. We had been waiting for this day for a very long time, actually for as long as I can remember Mum & Dad talked about us driving to...
Chihuahua
October 9 - 16 The long, straight, flat road from Durango to Hidalgo del Parral, made for an easy drive, but once we turned West on to smaller roads the terrain changed again revealing more of Mexico's diverse countryside. Out the window we see bony horses and...
Durango’s Mexiquillo, Devils Backbone & Baluarte Bridge
September 26 - October 9th Durango must be the Scorpion capital of Mexico. Walking the markets, everything is about the Scorpion wether it's printed on a t-shirt, encased in a belt buckle or fermenting in a bottle of Mezcal the nasty looking arachnid is everywhere....
