Sunday morning AM bright & early, beautiful day, wonderful balmy breeze just enough to make comfortably cool. We're departing CEDO and heading to do the rocky intertidal excursion behind the Viña del mar in downtown Puerto Peñasco. The tide is down by approximately 21' and the water is calm and glassy...a very peaceful and calming sight
After a brief introductory lecture by Dr C we split up and head out towards the water's edge gently turning ovrt some of the smaller rocks we begin discovering bristle worms (aka Fireworms), brittle stars, sea stars, sea cucumbers, porcelin crabs, gorgonias, sponges, mollusks, chitons, limpets, small juvenile fish (very quick & well camoflaged), a blue jelly (aka jellyfish), tunicates and green, brown and red algae. All in all, a good morning for the first day.
