Carlos didn't get to Costa Rica, but put in a good effort anyway. Sea kayakers need to know when not to launch, and when to discontinue, eh?

Too many paddling hours per day. They've made it (Carlos and companions) from Bahia de L.A. to St. Rosalia in 5 days, - which is a good 10-days route. No wonder he complained in journal that was so tired that couldn't write. Days are short and nights - cold in Baja California in December, not enough sunlight to dry clothes after paddling day. November was not bad - with one substantial weather front about Nov 14th - I didn't know it was a front, didn't have a weather radio :-), VHF weather channels didn't work there, and all this hell broke loose when I began setting my tent near Mulege; (Carlos was 10 miles away at Punta Pilares, I didn't even know this). It feels very different in a trimaran-rigged kayak, - even boring, and I made many stops on this short section were our ways almost crossed. Dolphins were roaming in herds around San Markos island - but may be it was one of those few places where they still remained. Quite depressing, a lot of garbage, and it seems to be more and more of it every year. > Carlos didn't get to Costa Rica, but put in a good effort anyway.

Won't belabor the list with extensive details. Kayak is in excellent condition -- less than 50 hours on the water -- price is right! If interested, please e-mail me offline or telephone me! Cheers!
