Baja Insider Update

July 02, 2011


Dear BajaInsider Subscriber:

Our American subscribers are moving into the long 4th of July weekend and we wish you a safe and Happy 4th! Many folks will be headed to popular Baja destinations from the coastal areas of Baja California on the Pacific side to the warm waters and warmer air of the Sea of Cortez side. The 4th weekend is always a busy weekend in Cabo San Lucas.

The Sea is warming and fishing is picking up. The Sea is absolutely perfect for snorkeling and so many water sports. We have some great reason to come visit Baja this summer. For one, the road trip will be more affordable, although our gas prices rose at the pump with the rising exchange rate they may actually have gone down for visiting North Americans.

The Atlantic had its first tropical cyclone of the season and the remains are now drifting into our basin. We have had two in the Eastern Pacific and we look at the week ahead in the Hurricane Watch Report. Stay in touch with our regular weather reports with more graphics than ever before too.

Summer is re-run season too. We have brought back lots of our previous stories for you folks at home on the computer this weekend.

So, without further ado... here are the latest stories on the BajaInsider!
