CAPE SAN LUCAS and its fantastic 

 pinnacles of rock offer a seascape 

 familiar to all coastwise mariners. 

 This is the gateway to the great Ver- 

 milion Sea of Cortes, the 600-mile- 

 long inland ocean which is the Gulf 

 of California. In the lov/er picture the 

 rocky spires are seen across the fly- 

 ing bridge of the Velero III.
