This recent and amazing photo of the waist of Mexico's nearly 1,000-mile long Baja California peninsula--- which shows both the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean--- was taken by my sister, Alice Mansell. She's the Alice who travels with me through the peninsula in my memoir, Miraculous Air. And she blogs.
UPDATE #1: For English language news of Hurricane Henriette, see the National Hurricane Center (USA) and Todos Santos Pages - News & Rumors blog--- the author, Howard Ekman, is riding it out in a trailer on the beach.
