I would appreciate recommendations or useful guides and data sources for
expedition planning?

Any suggestions might be helpful here.

For example, where did Richard access the information below.?

Offshore Cruising, Navigation and Racing:  Time-Life Books, lists Key Books
and Charts:  Sailing Directions, Pilot Charts Coast Pilot and others.

Well for climate info, and a searchable database of historic weather
conditions you might try:
http://www.wunderground.com/global/MX.html   (I chose the Mexico page since
you were talking about the Gulf of Cortez).

To keep an aerial  weather eye on those parts of the world that rarely make
it into the US press, I strongly recommend http://www.osei.noaa.gov/  . For
me , it is indispensable in tracking the forest fire season in the Canadian
subarctic, which might affect my travel plans.

A used book search on http://www.abebooks.com/   or
http://www.bibliofind.com/cgi-bin/texis.exe/search.vor
will dredge up everything from self-published travelogues in the 1920's to
government reports on resource exploitation.

49FAF is a page of books on the Sea of Cortez available from the Adventurous
Traveler Book Store.

My guess is that the amount of research needed for a true expedition exceeds
the number of hours actually ON the expedition (at least if your a
bibliophile who wants to know everything from flora,fauna,geography,human
history, and adventure lore of an area before they even set foot there.)

Check out;
http://www.maptech.com/index.cfm
They have most of their charts on line to check out, or you can buy the cd.

Usual disclaimer.

blue heron as she lifts uncertainly from the brilliant blue of a
mussel-shell beach witnessed only by the brooding, wet spruce....your
passage home seems as much back through time as it does through space.
