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. jerry -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter. SPAMfighter has removed 9971 of my spam emails to date.

Actually, that's a thought- two for the price of one. I just talked to Sal and told him that I was thinking about going down for the October race, assuming I'd have the SageCat done by then.

Jerry, What is a SageCat? Is that a Sage 17 with a Cat rig (mast forward of the cabin), built by Dave Scobie who builds the Sage 17s? Or is it something else. Thanx, I will be curious to read your reply.

I'm in the middle of tooling the Sage 15- I just got back from a dogsitting gig tonite and see that Dave Scobie just put something on the list about it so I won't duplicate.

Jerry - That trip sounds like a blast! It's been about 25 years or so since I've been down there. I went a couple of times with my uncle and drove down to Cabo stopping along the way. Never sailing, but we towed a small aluminum fishing boat. If I remember right the winds can kick up quite a bit in late afternoon. Beautiful place! Love it! Plenty of Dorado and other great fish to be had. I can just taste the fish tacos now....ummmm. That will be a great trip. I would love to join if I can swing it and get the OK from the boss. I have a trip already booked for June 22 - 29. Are you thinking early or late June? What were the launching sites like when you were down there? Would I have any problems getting the 23' in?

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.

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

Doug, I've done a lot of camping along the eastern coast of Baja, and in my opinion October and March are the two best months. Both times practically guarantee comfortable upper 70s/lower 80s and sunny weather. Tyler '81 M15 #157 "Defiant" On Feb 2, 2014, at 7:31 PM, Douglas Kelch wrote:

Because of the great race in Guaymas/San Carlos in Oct, I'm in favor of going then, either the race and/or the cruise.
