Day 4 - Puerto Los Cabos - Thursday, January 23rd

Today our goal was to find a location where we could rent kayak's.  Since I had visited Cabo San Lucas on a business trip recently I experienced the new resort community called Puerto Los Cabos.  It was only a few miles from our hotel.  As we drove around we came across a business called Dolphin Discovery.  We hope this type of tourist attraction helps to educated and thus help to be conscious of our impact on the ocean.  I (we) both felt so bad for the dolphins as their homes where just large holding areas in the Puerto Los Cabos Marina. All day long the dolphins, push, pull, pose and smile with the tourists…….in any case as we walked past the Dolphin Discovery we discovered, just by luck an isolated restaurant and small beach just to the south of the main exit / entrance to the ocean, in this marina.

We enjoyed the beach and ocean water as we waited for the guy "who has the key" to open the kayak's, paddle boards, etc. location.

So we started out and it we pretty easy going, the ocean was somewhat smooth.  There were no boats and anything near us and we paddled south towards Cabo San Lucas.  At the time we were considering turning around we realized our hotel was only a short distance away.  Since it was lunch time and out hotel was an all-inclusive we figured what the heck let's stop and have lunch and paddle the kayak's back after lunch.  Our concern were the waves getting into and then out of the shore again.  We went for it and caught one wave heading into shore it was great until we turned over.  All was OK as we were able to protect ourselves and get the kayak on shore.   After a nice Mexican lunch it was much easier to get the kayak's back out to sea vs. getting them into shore.  All and all it was a fantastic kayak trip and exactly what we had hoped for.  I didn't take pictures nor videos but here is one in which they caught some jumping rays.  We saw these along the shore in the breaking waves in the mornings.
