October would probably work better for me as well. The center board problem has been fixed. It was a piece of 1/4 inch dowel that broke off while pushing the board down a few years ago. It is now a flat 1/32 inch veneer :-) Doug On Mon, Feb 3, 2014 at 12:15 AM, jerry montgomery <jerry@jerrymontgomery.org

I keep hearing that the fishing is not good before June, and that's important to me. Also, it looks like Oct might be even better, and I'vbe not been cruising then but have done to the Guaymas race several times. I know the fishing is good then, so maybe the thing to do is to go down for the race and then go cruising. I'd not considered the race until Paul mentioned.
Did you get the centerboard problem fixed?

Jerry,
I would love to do that trip but I can't tolerate the heat in June. How about April? Even then I might have a problem getting away from family obligations but.....

If anybody in interested, I'm thinking about taking my Sage down to
Mexico in June to float around for a week or so and would be happy to have some company. I'd go to the midriff area, probably launching either at Bahia De Los Angeles on the Baja Side and island hopping across, or the other way around, launching at Kino Bay.
I've done this area several times but not for about 20 or 25 years and really enjoyed it and it's time I did it again before I get too old. No marinas, no gas stops, no nothing, but I always caught enough fish to feed an army.
Usually light air but nobody but an idiot would go w/o a storm jib, need good ground tackle, lots of gas, water and sunscreen.
A group of 6 or 8 would be perfect.
