We had a nice trip 45 miles south from Bahia
Conception to Punta Pulpito yesterday.
We set the anchor down in the early afternoon under the point and Cooper
was dying to go to shore and explore the exposed vein of obsidian on the side
of the hill. We med-moored the dingy as there was no beach just large boulders
and irregular shoreline. Cooper had a
blast collecting pieces of obsidian. We
had to cull his finds way back as he had about 15 pounds of stone he wanted to
take back. There was a lot of varied geology to look at all in one
location. Interesting to see so much
evidence of volcanic and sedimentary formations in one location. We also explored some sea-caves out around
the point. The snorkeling looked
promising but the light was going so we decided to wait till the next day.
