It’s easy to see why this island is
O’Sullivan’s favourite so far in the Sea
of Cortez, but there is much more to
explore. En route to Espiritu lies Cabo
Pulmo National Marine Park, a 60 mile
stretch where fishing is totally banned –
a diver’s paradise. To the north, Isla San
José and Isla San Francisquito boast
abandoned salt flats, miles of mangroves
begging to be explored by tender and
more long beaches. And even this is just the beginning
of the sea, which stretches miles and miles further north.
Encountering whale sharks (the season is September
to May) simply adds to the incredible taste of natural
beauty and seclusion that we experience during the trip.
“Once you are whisked away to the yacht you leave almost
all of life’s day to day concerns behind,” says O’Sullivan.
This narrow sea is rich in possibilities, the perfect
adventure for those seeking solitude and mother nature
at her most glorious.Voyage
