Baja California South has turned out to be damn cold late Dec/ early Jan this time. Campsites are deserted, North-Eastern winds are good enough to sail and paddle, scorpios, rattle snakes and spiders are hybernating somewhere and don't bother me, - this is all fine. What causes misery, is that short daylight leaves no time to enjoy life after paddling/sailing, and with cold nights you have no time to dry out paddling clothes. Camp clothes are getting wet too a little bit - because of evening dew, foggy mornings, humidity in tent etc. I've got impression that south shores of Hawaii right now, for example, are slightly warmer than Sta Rosalia/Mulege (Baja) during a day, much warmer at night time (3-4 degrees), though humidity is noticeably higher. Water temps, I suspect, are same uncomftable as in Baja. Perhaps, still warmer than in BC right now :-). Australia is too far, alas. Can anybody say anything about winter at Hawaii (Maui?) south shores? Early November is good there, but how about Dec-Jan, compared to Baja?
