Not sure off the top of my head, but a quick look at Google earth would tell you.

How about a Baja Map, look at the scale, measuring tape and Voila, there's your answer.

I'm guessing Loreto would be about 140 miles to La Paz then. Trying to find out how much fuel I'll need for my boat

Someone must have a cruising guide; they give mileage between ports. Mine's in Loreto right now, and I'm knot.

Is there anywhere to get gas between Puerto Escondido and La Paz? In Agua Verde?

No, Possible from fish camps in an emergency. Best option would be San Evaristo.

There are no other ports with gas docks between Loreto and La Paz but you may find a few fishing camps which have some gas at a premium. If you need
more gas couldn't you bring a few extra gallons in portable tanks?

I have a 16.5 foot Klamath center console 50hp 4 stroke. I get around 5-6 miles per gallon but I am going to count it at 4mpg.
I just found out how to use the google earth track so the longest stretch would be 145 miles, not counting fishing. I'm planning on carrying 50
gallons of gas. I have a 12 gal bow tank and a 6 gal aft tank. Then I'll carry five 6 gal cans. That would be 300 lbs in fuel.
Water is about 8 lbs per gallon and I'll carry 15 gallons per week so another 120 lbs. Say about 50 lbs max in gear totalling 365 lbs. Then my fat ass
225 lets total out it at 600 lbs grand total. Boat is rated at 1350 lbs including motor. I have no idea what it weighs but think I'll be fine.
Especially as fuel and water weight will decrease daily.
Trip from San Lucas Cove to La Ventana is about 340 miles not including extra fishing and side trips

I think you will have extra gas when you get here. Trolling will take a lot less gas but better safe than sorry.

Those that know me know that I have a saying....
There is only one rule in nature, you screw up you die....don't break the rule!
Running out of gas breaks the rule

You have plenty of supplies - 2 gallons of drinking water a day and 300 gallons of gas to go 342 miles. But you don't mention beer or tequila? That's
breaking the only rule in fishing!
I have found panga fisherman to be very kind and helpful out at the islands San Jose, Espirtu Santo and Ceralvo, if you run out just flag one down and
start trading something for gas, they can syphon from their tanks to yours. Or if you see a cruiser you could trade some of your fresh fish for their
icey c-cktail happy hour.
Have lots of fun and keep your hat on plus have spare and perhaps consider a leash from you to the boat at all times.

50 gallons of fuel that weighs 300lbs. I figure there will be another 50 lbs of just stuff. Cervesa etc.
I wanted to go a couple months ago but it wasn't to be. So I'm shooting for next May. It all depends on the economy this next year.
