that is a nice trip jz I have made it many times. I like to go in the night with no moon. you can see all the lights for navigation and the stars are
beautiful and the water is like glass.

Sorry for the confusion Bob/Susan, we are driving both boats across. Probably going to anchor in Conception (Coyote Bay).
I've gone straight across twice before, but the last trip was about 2 years ago (wow, time flies).
Bruce, we are planning to leave at day break so we can run at speed. If we get some good weather we should make it across in around 3 hours or so.
Maybe we'll catch you on the other side!

San Carlos is the home base for both of us. We have houses there and keep the boats year round at the marina.
Definitely will take pictures!

What in the heck are you running, JZ, a cigarette-style boat?

Jerry: it is definitey a "sport" cruiser. Yes, quite light, 10K dry. I've made it 180 miles on one tank (144 gallons), San Felipe to BOLA.
We did San Carlos to Loreto and back once. Awesome trip!

You guys with your little boats and your large wallets have always made me Jealous.......................not because of what you own or the money you
have BUT for your ability to see things in Baja that us average folks with four wheels seldom get a chance to see. Wish you'll would be so kind to
post some of your stories about those sights so that we can live vicariously and see those parts of Baja that we are not allowed to cast our eyes
upon.
Por Favor!!!!!
