Today was a day at sea. Today we gained one hour and is now in mountain time zone. Before breakfast we passed by the Baja Peninsula so I got up and took some pictures. After breakfast I went to coffee with Gene and Jessica. The guests were the speakers on the ship that will be with us until Hawaii. At 10 AM I went to here Barbara talk on "What to See and Do in San Diego". At 11 AM Captain Paul Eschenfelder gave a talk on "Flying the North Atlantic and the Pacific". He had a film of him landing in 300 feef visibility. Most of the other data was not new. Outside of some time for lunch and relaxing on the top deck I spent time processing my pictures. At 5:30 PM I went to dinner and after dinner the show was put on by Brad Upton, a comedian which I missed because of the NFL games and Natalie Toro the broadway singer.
The Baja California Peninsula is a peninsula in Northwestern Mexico. It separates the Pacific Ocean from the Gulf of California. The peninsula extends 1,247 km (775 miles) from Mexicali, Baja California in the north to Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Surin the south. It ranges from 40 km (25 miles) at its narrowest to 320 km (200 miles) at its widest point and has approximately 3,000 km (1,900 miles) of coastline and approximately 65 islands. The total area of the Baja California Peninsula is 143,390 km2 (55,360 sq mi).
The peninsula is separated from mainland Mexico by the Gulf of California and the Colorado River. There are four main desert areas on the peninsula: the San Felipe Desert, the Central Coast Desert, the Vizcaíno Desertand the Magdalena Plain Desert.
