8) GOOD NAUTICAL  

BAHIA SAN QUINTIN 🇲🇽 BAJA PENINSULA

The
western side of Bahia San Quintin is shallow but offers better
protection from swell bending around the point. Anchor in 3.3m close to
the mouth of the lagoon. We saw a whale circling us there is also the
local monument structure of “LA HOLA” on the shore . Give the entrance a
wide berth as there are mis-charted rocks.

give the point a 1 nm berth

18) MUST SEE: LAUREL FOREST IN SAO VICENTE, MADEIRA 🇵🇹 PORTUGAL

Portugal’s
Madeira Island is an island in the Atlantic off the coast of Africa.
Madeira itself is a sight to behold.  The volcanic island
erupted in the Ocean during the Miocene Epoch about twenty million years
ago.  After the lava cooled and erosion shaped the island.

The
highest point on the island stands at 1,862 metres (6,109 feet) and the
distance to Madeira’s submerged base at the bottom of the Atlantic is
just over 6,000 metres (about 20,000 feet).

The
cloud forests of the Azores offer a serene and otherworldly experience,
showcasing the incredible natural beauty and biodiversity of this
remote archipelago…. more  >>>
