I realy do think if they finish the so called land bridge, people will use it . Folks use San Carlos all the time. 3500 dollars for a 36 ft boat back to San Diego. It seams like alot. But if you break down the cost of powering back up the coast with the time lost at work and all the other factors. It's cheeper and saves a bunch of wear and tear on your boat. Oooooooooooor leave the darn thing in mexico !!!!!:biggrin::biggrin:!
On the down side ........ every freakinig sailer (that now is afraid of Mexico) will be showing up. And all those lonley coves will be a gone.Oh yea at one time California WAS Baja Norte. See what we've done to it?
On another note Gringos aren't the only ones with boats, I'v met lots on Mexican folks with (holley smokes look at that thing) Mega yachts. Hot tubs and all:o

statistics show that something like 90% of boaters in california don't travel more than 30 miles from their homeport.thus, i really don't think the EN will atract a whole lotta customers.basically it comes down boating around baja is done by a few and of those, i bet a small percentage would use the EN. another thought is just how often will a boat need to be trailered across??? one a day? a week? a month??? not enough to make it $$ substainable..... it is indeed a cluster f---.

Sailing Cruisers by the way are known for the most part as being thrifty.
