Cabo San Lucas Mexico

This morning the ship arrived very early into Cabo San Lucas. We got up at around 6:15 a.m. and they had already dropped anchor and were preparing the tenders for transferring guests.
People started going ashore at 7:00 a.m. so they could get to their pre-booked shore excursions. The four of us had nothing definite planned except to find a beach and go for a swim.
Once ashore we walked past the usual parade of tour sellers, trinket sellers, etc. etc. Cabo San Lucas is a very busy seaside port with lots of sailing tours, fishing tours, whale watching, etc. It is also certainly more developed and built up than Zihuatanejo. The marina is huge, lots of expensive yachts, high-rise apartments, fancy hotels, shopping malls, etc. etc. Also, there are lots of small fishing boats with pelicans sitting on the engines, waiting for the odd fish, soaking up the sun and making a mess 🙂 We finally made our way around the marina, through the side streets until we came to a really nice sandy beach. It was still fairly early in the day, but we got our beach towels down and all went for a swim and then soaked up some sunshine.

After a bit Brenda and I headed back to the ship while Dean and Judy stayed at the beach for a little longer. The last tender was at 1:30 p.m. so it was a short port day.

Once we lifted anchor and started out of the bay we passed near a Cabo San Lucas landmark called Lovers Beach and the Arch.

Tonight dress was formal and the show was our Soprano and Tenor of the Veendam entertainers. From here we have a day and a half sailing to make it to San Diego for Sunday morning disembarking and the end of our cruise.
