Rocket's 2005-06 Mexican Journey: Mazatlan @ Sail Blogs

[NewsReader]

We headed north from San Blas with a rather if-y weather forecast. We were ultimately thinking of how and when and where we were going to cross the Sea of Cortez to get to the Baja side to meet our friends the Parkers and Venezias in Los Barriles. Our goal was to head north no matter what so that we could get a better angle on the wind for the 180 mile crossing. The winds are typically from the north and are howling, so the more north we could get before crossing, the more we could utilize the wind as opposed to our engines for power. The ultimate goal in sailing! So we headed north from San Blas. Direct Link
