Andrew Emlen joined Marcos & Ginni again to share to more wonders of Baja, from blue footed boobies to leaping rays to scorpion fish to Ginni’s favorite, the rhodolyths. Rhodolyths are an under-appreciated algae that creates its structure from the calcium carbonate in the sea, in an array of forms, and then photosynthesizes as it tumbles in the current or waves. Rhodolyths are responsible for building deep marine deposits and for giving us the white sand beaches of Isla del Carmen.
From the small to the big, a blue whale swam tight circles in front of us in an impressive display of flexibility. We ended our trip with a visit into Tabor Canyon with its fresh water and different selection of wildlife.
