Camp Gecko Paradise

We've been here for a few days and practically have the place to ourselves. The tropical storm missed us except for a couple of windy days. We were hoping some fishermen would come by to sell us their catch, but they haven't gone out lately because the water has been too rough outside the bay. Even the birds get off the water in the afternoon when the wind kicks up. It's still warm and balmy and we've been enjoying the luxury of reading for hours or scavenging the beach.
I like to wake up at dawn and watch the horizon turn pink before the sun pops up over the hills across the bay. The water is as smooth as glass until the wind picks up at about 10:00. As soon as it started getting light we got in our kayaks and headed out across the bay. We spotted pods of 2 types of dolphins, though Toni and I think the larger/darker ones may have been small whales. There are 12 kinds of dolphins and whales that spend time in these waters.
We had paddled halfway across the bay when the wind picked up, so we headed back to our beach rather than take a chance on getting blown farther out. We were told that several kayakers have not heeded the weather changes and have been swept out of the bay into the Sea of Cortez, sometimes never to be seen again.
