Cabo San Lucas is still having it's spring winds. Yesterday and today have been rather blustery with the Pacific Marine layer and the hotter Sea of Cortez side causing a fairly strong flow at Land's End. Temperatures are in the 90's when out the wind (Wind Chill Factor)and breezes are up to 20kts with a small wind swell and moderate to heavy chop. Fishing is still getting better due to the warming of the waters although avoiding the winds is keeping more of the sport fishing boats headed eastward towards the Sea of Cortez.

| 08AM MST 04/27/07 The Pacific High off our map to the west (blue arrow) will continue to dominate our late spring weather pattern throughout Baja today. The pressure difference between the stationary 1027Mb High and a pair of 1011Mb Lows (red arrow) in the So Cal Bight are generating winds to 40kts off the California coast and to 25kts as far south as Mag. Bay on the pacific side of Baja. The Pineapple Express still lingers over parts of central and southern Baja today. Afternoon clearing should bring temps to seasonal by afternoon. Winds are expected to be from the N in the day and from the SW in the evening throughout the Sea. The southern Sea may experience heavy Corumuel Winds after sunset for the next few days.. |

Winds in Cabo San Lucas Baja California SurThe lower Baja California Sur coastal areas will be rougher with these winds and swells generated by these continuous winds. The sea state can be rough for the smaller power boats so you want to keep this in mind for your fishing and pleasure boating. Also realize the winds can lay down in the afternoon for a short time and pick back up at sunset.
If anyone has more wind or sea state information that would be of value to those on the pacific side or the Sea Of Cortez side of the BajaPenisula please post it here.

Yuma Sun : Mexican officials discuss Punta Colonet portFinally and most importantly, the proposed port would ruin some of the beautiful coastal areas in Baja so that shippers can avoid costly union labor in California.
Do we need more plastic yard gnomes and inflatable Santa Clauses on motorcycles for Christmas? I think not at the expense of this remaining slice of Baja coastline. We encourage the Mexican authorities to reject this attempt to export Southern California problems to Mexico.

Baja California Weather Forecast | |
| Surface Chart / Satellite IR | 08AM MST 04/10/07 Most of Baja California and Baja Sur will enjoy sunny skies today. The Pacific Coast will probably endure a marine layer through mid day. Our southerly winds will continue as a trough (yellow arrow) runs directly up the Sea of Cortez to a Low (magenta arrow) that has dropped down into Baja California. This Low has been stalled behind a deeper Low that will break free and move east rapidly today (orange arrow) The pressure difference is a result of a High off our map in the Pacific (blue arrow) Another trough (red arrow) is moving along the ITCZ but the northern edge is tearing away and moving east. |

Sea Turtles Need Your Help!Spring is a time to celebrate life and renewal. Unfortunately, the first weeks of spring present a grave challenge for sea turtles. During the 40 days of Lent from February to April, and closing with the celebrations of Holy Week, many devout Catholics abstain from eating red meat. Because sea turtles live in the ocean, many view them as "fish" and a substitute for "red" meat, and regularly consume sea turtle meat and eggs during holy days. Throughout Latin America, an estimated 10'000 sea turtles are consumed every year during religious holidays.
Sea turtles need your help now more than ever: support Pro Peninsula and the Grupo Tortuguero's efforts to save sea turtles, and spread the word that these magnificent creatures are in danger of extinction.
* Support our outreach and research initiatives in communities on the Baja California peninsula by adopting <http://www.propeninsula.org/adopt> one of our sea turtles today! The money you donate will directly support our efforts to reduce consumption in communities throughout the peninsula.
* Send a Letter to the Vatican <http://www.propeninsula.org/campaign/1/5.html> : Our bilingual campaign to create awareness in the Vatican about the issue of sea turtle consumption during Lent and Holy Week has already generated close to 300 letters in the past week. Help us get to 500 letters by the end of Holy Week! Send a message to the Pope and the Vatican that sea turtles need their help; they can help us clarify the misunderstanding that sea turtles are fish and let Catholics worldwide know that they are not not acceptable food during holy days or any other time.
With your help, we can give sea turtles reason to celebrate this spring.
P.S. Spread the word, send this announcement <http://www.propeninsula.org/email_this/1/0/2/5.html> to your friends and family!
