To set the stage for Ms. Melville's discussion of the production of An Island Kingdom, Shoals historian Ann Beattie will explore the four century history of the Isles through a series of fascinating historical images.

Experience Baja: Where the Dessert Meets the Sea
April 11-18, 2009Experience Baja; explore the islands and habitats of the Sea of Cortez with the Seacoast Science Center and Lindblad Expeditions.
Join Center President Wendy Lull for a unique journey aboard the 62-guest Sea Lion in Loreto, Mexico as we explore with no set itinerary, adding a stimulating sense of adventure to each day. We will search for whales from the deck of our ship, see miles of uninhabited beaches and throngs of seabirds. We will snorkel with sea lions, enjoy kayaking excursions in pristine waters, swim among reef fish and enjoy the serenity of a sunset beach barbecue.
The course of nature is unpredictable and so, inevitably, is the exact course of our voyage; we will travel with the spirit of discovery. To take advantage of the best wildlife and exploring opportunities, we will set our exact route as we travel. For example, at La Isla San Marcos there is a beautiful cove for swimming, snorkeling and kayaking, and a broad arroyo leading into the interior, with intriguing desert plants and birds. In Canal de Ballenas we may see fin, sperm and orca whales, bottlenose and common dolphins.
Whether by zodiac or kayak, we will be able to get close up views of the thousands of seabirds nesting on the 1,000-foot-high guano-covered Isla San Pedro Martir. This is one of the world's most dramatic places to see blue-footed and brown boobies, red-billed tropicbirds and brown pelicans. Our expedition ends with an evening beach barbecue under the starry desert sky on Isla Carmen.
On this trip we travel with Lindblad Expeditions which means that we will have expert lecturers, naturalists and logistics staff with us every step of the way. All you have to do is enjoy! The full itinerary and ship information can be found for the Where the Desert Meets the Sea trip on their website, at www.expeditions.com.
