Description
The green nets and yellow bouys contrast with the deep blue of the sky and blue-green sea. The blue tarp tends to bring this seascape together. The rusty rigging of this Shrimp Boat creates a nice frame. No, that isn't white paint on the tarp.

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.
