Sorry bout the double. I'm still learning to use this thing.
--Someone recently was talking about sailing around the Baja. Last months "Sailing" had a decent article on this. It was a trailer sailing special issue. Pretty cool to see our world discussed in depth in such a fine rag.

The Admiral and I just got home lastnight from sailing for two weeks on the sea of Cortez at San Carlos, Sonora, Mexico. We did not venture very far off the coast. Mostly sailed in water somewhat protected from the heavy NW winds that blew most afternoons. We would have done more gunkholing, but Sandi was sick with the flu most of the trip, so we kept a slip in the beautiful Marina San Carlos, with water and electric hookup, for $12 per night. We were a little unlucky with the weather, as it was unsually cold while we were there. In fact, it hit 17 degrees in Tucan Az the night after we went by. But we still had 70 most days. The sailing was 100 times better then sitting in Sassi in my back yard watching it snow. If anyone has questions, I will hang in awhile on the thread. I am not sure at this point if I am going to continue with the new forum. I cannot figure out how to read the messages off line. I do not have unlimited i-net service, and can't afford to stay on line long enpough to read and reply to e-mail. |

Bruce, did you trailer your boat to Mexico or rent something there? If so what were the costs? |

Jim, I trailered the boat 3200 miles round trip. That is on a single axle trailer that I just put surge disc brakes on, and new heavy ply tires. I pulled it with a Jeep Cherokee with a big v8. I probably ran between 65 and 75 most of the way, but down to 55 on some of the long grades. The sad part was gas milage. I had a hard head wind all the way down, and no wind at all on the way back. Averaged 10.1 mpg. We used the boat for a camper on the road, and lived aboard all but two nights while we were there. |

Bruce, you are an inspiration to me. I have a dream of someday taking my boat to the gulf. Maybe in a few years when I have retired. Thanks. |

Has anybody done any sailing off the Texas coast? If so was it a good experience and where do you recommend going. I've been doing most of my sailing on Texas lakes and wonder what it would be like to sail offshore. I know that it is a different ball game and that there is a lot to look out for....any tips, advice etc!!!

I lived in Corpus Christi, TX for a number of years and spent a lot of time sailing off the Texas coast, just not on a Catalina 22. As I remember, 6 - 8 foot seas were common and I remember one night race with 10 - 12 foot seas. I was on a Cal 25 and while it's not much longer than the C-22 it has considerably more freeboard.
Off Corpus Christi and south of there, the winds average around 18-20 with sustained winds in the mid to high 20's not unusual. If you go, watch the wind and sea conditions. |

It sounds like this was a winter sail. Is a week sailing out of San Carlos at Christmas time a viable proposition on a Cat 22 swing keel? Has anybody done it?
Thanks |
