The Bay — Ray Slater

Hundreds of miles from the tourists, the hotels, and the beaches, there is another side of Baja, Mexico. Dry and treeless desert marches into the crystal blue waters of the Sea of Cortez--once described by Jacques Cousteau as nature's aquarium. The eastern coast is dotted with small bays where all the beauty and magic of Mexican culture are still on full display. The bays can be places of exile, or places of redemption.

For those who, long ago, ventured into Baja with little more than a sense of adventure and a few cans of extra gas--or for those who wish they had--this book is for you.

Join an old man and his grandson as they are transformed by the nature and people of THE BAY..

In their years of fishing together, the old man had never seen Andy express the least bit of fear or anxiety. The look on his face, as he screamed, "Stomp your feet.! Make noise," left little doubt they were in grave danger. If the thirty-ton whale did not hear them in the next two minutes, their boat would be splinters. They would be lucky to survive.
