Please tell me why I couldn't do the Baja Ha Ha

Thanks

Realize that:

1. SD - has no experience on the Baja as far as what I can tell, nor do I. If you follow the Catalina Owner forums - you'll find that 30's do it regularly - but you must watch weather patterns etc..Especially if sailing and not motoring it..


2. The Baja really isn't that much of a stretch from the location there in southern Cal. If you can do Catalina Island, you can handle going down the Baja... heck its probably less dangerous than driving it (which I have done)...

You only limitations will be Mexican insurance, your ability to stop at places along the route, weather patterns..

Truly - not that much in reality - your not cruising to Hawaii...its down the coast...

Hopefully others with actual experience will speak up - but again google Catalina Owners - they do one or two trips a year down there regularly...
