Hard At Work in the Sea of Cortez

Josh and I have been busy at work on the M/V Ursa Major for the past month and have been cruising around the Sea of Cortez between La Paz and Loreto. Josh has been behind the camera lens taking beautiful photographs and as seen in the following photos, the wildlife viewing has been spectacular.
