View from the balcony as we prepare to depart our final port of Cabo San Lucas. It's been baking hot and humid and we stupidly walked for ages in it rather than give in to the three thousand offers for a taxi we received. Had a couple of beers in the rooftop bar of Baja Brewing then spent the last of our pesos on coffee. Currently watching rays in the water below our cabin.

Sea day tomorrow, then San Diego and the flight home to the cold.

Il Fatto Quotidiano: Passeggiano sulla spiaggia e si imbattono in due “pesci dell’Apocalisse”: il raro avvistamento di due sorelle – Video

Due sorelle stavano passeggiando sulla spiaggia di Cabo San Lucas, nella Baja California, in Messico, quando si sono imbattute in un rarissimo avvistamento. Le due hanno incontrato due pesci remo, anche detti “pesci dell’apocalisse“. Invece di osservare la scena chiamando le autorità preposte, una delle due ha deciso di intervenire e insieme ad alcuni bagnanti presenti in spiaggia ha spinto i pesci di nuovo verso acque profonde.
Ma cosa sono i pesci remo e perché sono chiamati così? I pesci regalecus glesne sono i pesci ossei più lunghi al mondo con corpi che raggiungono anche i nove metri, sono caratterizzati da un corpo lungo simile a un nastro con un colore argentato che diventa rossastro lungo la cresta dorsale. La specie vive normalmente in zone molto profonde dell’oceano, comprese tra i 200 e 1000 metri di profondità. Raramente quindi, visto il loro habitat in acque profonde, riescono ad essere avvistati vivi: anche per questo forse nei secoli il pesce remo è stato associato a varie leggende. Secondo i giapponesi si tratta infatti di un “pesce del giorno del giudizio“, tanto da ritenerlo un presagio per le catastrofi naturali. Ad esempio, prima del terremoto del Giappone del 2011, la leggenda racconta che furono avvistati un totale di 20 pesci remo arenati sulle spiagge.

They walk on the beach and stumble upon two “apocalypse fish”: the rare sighting of two sisters – Video

Two sisters were strolling along the beach of Cabo San Lucas, in Baja California, Mexico, when they came across a very rare sighting. The two women encountered two basking sharks, also known as “apocalypse fish.” Instead of observing the scene and calling the appropriate authorities, one of the two decided to intervene, and together with some bathers present on the beach, they pushed the sharks back towards deeper waters.

But what are basking sharks and why are they called that? Regalecus glesne are the longest bony fish in the world with bodies reaching up to nine meters long, characterized by a long, ribbon-like body with an silvery color that becomes reddish along the dorsal crest. The species normally lives in very deep ocean areas, between 200 and 1000 meters deep. Therefore, they rarely appear alive, given their habitat in deep water; this may be why the basking shark has been associated with various legends for centuries. According to the Japanese, it is a “fish of the day of judgment,” to the point that it is considered a harbinger of natural disasters. For example, before the 2011 Japanese earthquake, the legend says that a total of 20 stranded basking sharks were sighted on the beaches.

For #TravelTuesday here's part of the marine nature reserve at the tip of Cabo San Lucas in Mexico. Behind the largest rock formation on the right is the stone arch that Cabo is famous for. This is one of three places we're revisiting next month.
