Description
This old fishing boat was retired years ago.She was hauled ashore, and now sits next to the sea that was once her home. Notice the Gull on the upper deck. They never give up hope.

I took photos of this old gal in the late 90's using a Roliflex medium format film camera. This shot was taken last year with a Cannon DSLR. I subdued the color,creating the look of an early color photograph. Ah, the digital darkroom.

The small village of San Felipe is located on the north end of the Sea of Cortez within what is known as the Sonoran Desert, a mere 120 miles south of Calexico and Mexicali on the International border between Yuma and San Diego.

It became one of many fishing villages on the Sea of Cortez to attract fisherman from north of the border, and enticing them with an unlimited supply of shark, yellowtail, roosterfish, totuava, Pacific striped marlin, scorpion fish, stingrays, barracuda, and dozens of other species. The Sea of Cortez has been called the Aquarium of the World.
