Description
The Marina in San Felipe BC is a commercial fishing port. Shimp is to San Felipe as Lobster is to Maine. During the fall and winter months, when the water temperature is right, shrimp boats like this one come and go all day. They sell their shrimp to the local restaurants, markets, and vendors at the pier.
....
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.
