| Well I've sailed every day so far (6 days) but on BIG sails. Well one day it was a small sail, but a big board to do low wind stuff. It's been fun, but boy flipping 7.7 sails is a lot of work in marginal wind (not to mention gybing a board as wide as a house)..... |

LeeD here...
Surf on North side of the Island?
And back to SFBay, by far the worst season ever for storm winds, and no clearing winds penetrate into the bay yet. See what you didn't miss? |

I've read 12-15 magazine reports on Baja's milder side over the last 20 years. I've grilled well over 50 people just back from Baja about it. Many buds spend weeks to months there each winter. The consensus overwhelmingly -- almost universally -- supports your experiences, and when I ask one regular what he and his non-sailor wife DO all day even on the windy days (i.e., the ones with 3 hours of sailable wind), they say, "We visit."
I just smile, say something like "That's great you enjoy it so much", shake my head in my mind (shake my mind?), and chalk up another "No way" vote on my tally. Yours is another mark in the "No way" column.
JohnL, OTOH, just retired, so long trips are probably a newer experience for him. He'll either get lucky, or will get it out of his system. Let's hope it's the former.
