> How about a trip report on Baja? It wasn't really paddling, with Balogh sail and outriggers. This isn't a trimaran sailing mail-list, is it? :-) And it wasn't really sailing, either. I went there in early October, and it was still summer. 2 days of decent sailing in the first 10 days of the trip. OTH, paddling that trimaran is ridiculously slow. MK1 is a slow boat even without any outrigger. Yeah, yeah, it's faster than Klepper AE1, - or so they say. In the last few days it started blowing, mostly from the North, and confused my plans - it was too close to unsightly Santa Rosalia with no campgrounds (I started from Bahia de Los Angeles), and barely enough days to make it to Mulege. Guys living on their boats in Sta Rosa told me that Mulege was devastated by the huricane this year (again), so may be I've made the right choice, fooling around San Marcos island remaining days, and wrapping it up at San Lucas, 15 miles south of Sta Rosa. Big news for Baja Cal Norte paddlers - there is a fresh water now in El Barril (some deep well). I haven't seen it - refilled in San Francisquito. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
