These maps are for anyone who likes the ocean: sailors, surfers, fisherman, paddlers, divers, coastal hikers; people who hike up that hill for a sunset over the water, and anyone who loves a good tidepool. PSST...they also make a great gift :)
People who see the map can walk up to it and start asking questions and you start telling stories you forgot you had. You dream bigger. You plan BIGGER. You remember that being on the water matters to you so you do it more.
These maps are from an ocean perspective. The labels are similar to what's one a marine chart: bays, inlets, channels, seas. The towns are good stops for provisions or places to start an adventure. The colours feel like the place feels. It's from a mariners perspective. It's a map for waterpeople made by a waterperson.
An analogue, paper map is pure magic. It let's you see everything all at once. It lets you understand the big picture and easily switch to the details. And! Unlike a phone, everyone can look at the same thing at the same time, which makes for much better stories.
Nope. A nautical chart is a very specific, standardized, tool for safe navigation. A chart helps you keep your boat floating and lets you find your way at sea.These maps are not for navigation. They are for decoration, general trip planning , dreaming, and storytelling,

Yup. My boat is a Kelly Peterson 44 called Whisky Jack II. Because I live on a boat, when you place an order, your map is printed by my professional photography and fine art print partners.

Why I made this map

If you're a waterperson, you already know: Baja isn't just a destination, it's a pilgrimage.

My first big Baja trip was a surf trip, camping out of the back of a tiny pickup truck. The second time around I sailed my boat there from Canada. VERY different adventures, both full of character building experiences, and a lot of sand and grit.

For most North Americans, Baja is a winter escape full of sun, sand, and tacos. But we dream about it all year. We research. We plan. We scheme. And nothing helps bring a dream to life quite like a beautiful map hung on your wall.

I made the map I wanted for telling stories of my trips south. The map that is coloured like the dry desert mountains and deep blue sea (and that looks so good with my photos). I made a map that inspires my friends to tell me their stories.

Armed with my Spanish phrase book I tromp around with my mediocre grammar, making friends. I swim with whale sharks in La Paz. Argue with welders in Ensenada. Negotiate for propane on the west coast. Dive with Golden Groupers in Cabo Pulmo.

It's not easy, but the best parts of Baja belong to those who are willing to work for it.
