Yea I know. I have a hard enough time getting to the dock 5 minutes from my front door. Gotta quit working so much. I would like to make a trip like that with another boat and a couple fellow seacrafters. Lisa is not up to that type of trip. Bigshrimpin? where are you?

The first image on that screen is of Playa Santispac in Bahia de la Concepcion (just south of Mulege'), While it was a fantastic place that I visited often as a child & teenager, the retiring gringo's have planted rather nice homes all the way around the bay now, right down to the waters edge.
Reliving that article, while possible on the water, isn't going to look the same on land. In terms of fishing, it's still decent, but is nowhere near what it was even a decade ago down there.

When I saw the "Seacraft" Long way in a small boat, I said boy would that be a neat trip. Very similar.

Know what you mean about development, too many of my old favorites in the Bahamas have houses or hotels squatting on them.
Just spent a while on Google earth, and it looks like there is one heck of a lot of coastline in the Sea of Cortez with no people, no roads, no nothing. Lots and lots of deserted coves. Some of that must still be pretty nice. Near all of them are open to the east. Is the wind always south or west?

Plan Ahead!!! Know before you go that the regulations and permits required for American boats traveling in/through Mexican waters have changed drastically in just the past three years. The permits required for both travel through and fishing in Mexican waters now are different permits, pretty steep $$, and can require some baksheesh to have done in any kind of timely fashion.
I had a parishioner get back in early October from taking his three teenaged grand-kids on his 36 Catalina Sloop to Turneffe, Belize, traveling along the Gulf coast, and he was pretty steamed about the hundreds of dollars he spent in permits and bribes in order to be allowed to leave when he touched shore both in Tampico and again in Vera Cruz. He decided to skip visiting Cozumel, and then returned to the US via the Caymans and then sailed direct to Destin.
