Puerto Peñasco, Sonora Water Front — Photo-Artistry by kenne
Puerto Peñasco, Rocky Point, is a Mexican fishing and resort city on the Sea of Cortes. It’s known for dune-backed Sandy Beach
and Bahía la Choya’s tidal pools. The Center for the Study of Deserts and Oceans has gardens and a fin-whale skeleton.
Rocky Point is often called “Arizona’s beach” because it is close in proximity to Arizona and easy to get to rather quickly.

Patty, Tom, Joy and I chartered the Grandy-White (the smaller boat on the left) under cloudy, but calm skies.
Captain Chris gives Joy a hand on the boat.
Tom has his own rod, but after checking out the equipment on the boat quickly realized he didn’t need it.
Leaving the port, this is a view of the old downtown Puerto Peñasco.
Once out from Puerto Peñasco, Captain Chris let us know he was taking a slight detour to where we might see some whales, which I posted on the 23rd.
Captain Chris, who was very informative and helpful.
The sun comes out briefly on Patty and Tom as they try staying warm — at least they had wind-breakers. Joy and I left ours back in Tucson.

This past spring my friend Tom and I had planned on going to Puerto Penasco, Mexico to spend a few days fishing. About a week before the trip, Tom had his sixth and last chemo treatment. He had gone through the previous treatments with few side-effects, but this one really made walking very difficult. We still made the trip knowing fishing was not likely. We still has a very good time.
One of the things we did was gone for walks along the beach. Previous posting have chronicled our trip, but I had forgotten that I had also taken some photos and video with my iPhone, which I share here.
Tom is in remission and is current fishing with his son in Wales.

Blue Bottles at Sandy Beach, Puerto Peñasco — Image by kenne
Sand moves
on streets
by chance
staying on those
who sweep
the streets
of others.
Two ex-pats
in the shade
of the front porch
playing cards
hold’em?
fold’em?
passing time.
Bluebottles
stand for counting
ten?
twenty?
thirty?
tourist’s guessing
drive by.
. . . the winds of change
trapped in glass.

I walk Puerto Peñasco beach
toward the morning sunrise.
Puddles of water abandoned by the tide
run together, channeling to the sea.
Gaining speed turning back to my eyes
sliding on the sea of stone.
Leaving behind reflections
channeling thoughts of storms past.
Above, the dragon birds fly shallow waters
searching for day treasures trembling below.
Becoming is Superior to Being
