Sea of Cortez launch sites?

Your best bet is San Carlos on the mainland side. They are very used to having American''s
bring their boats into fish. There are two marina''s amd it is not very expensive by either San Diego standards or East Coast values. You should have no trouble. Write up a list of your electronic equipment and serial #''s submit it when you apply for your Zarpe. Under V.Fox if the inspectors try to rip you off they end up in the mexican hoosegow and their survival rate is 24 hours.
We went through the proper proceedures and imported a diesel engine to repace our blown one. It took two days. Try that in the U.S.
6 months. The SWea of Cortez is a wonderful place to cruise so long as your willing to slightly rough it and you can adapt to the native food which is great. Everyone uses bottled water. We spent 3 years cruising the area. Get Garry Cunningham''s charts and
you cannot go wrong
