Hey all I am new to the forum. Have a sprinter van setup with WVO and bunks, XR600R dual-sport motorcycle, and a 18 Avon RIB with 90 HP on the back.
I have put a "to-do" to travel down to the Baja and do a vacation there next winter/spring. I am a big time laser sailboat racer so thinking I could
combine this with doing a weekend regatta in San Diego.
If I head into mexico with the my sprinter and boat, can you just launch any were down on the Baja? Are there central locations that have boat ramps
to go fishing?
All my stories & adventures are posting on my personal website:

Welcome to the board Mack. Try going to the Vagabundos del Mar web site and look into purchasing the booklet on launch ramps in baja listed in the
"store" - it's a short but informative book.bill erhardt - 6-19-2010 at 08:52 AM
Mack......Launch ramps on the Baja peninsula are few and far between. A good investment would be Zack Thomas' "The Angler's Guide to Trailer-Boating
Baja" (2008). Zack describes the whys and wherefores of trailer-boating Baja as exhaustively as it has been done, including a description of 30
launch ramps on both coasts. The book is also packed with practical advice and information on travel south of the border. Before I settled in Loreto
I traveled up and down Baja towing an 18' glass boat. I launched over the sand as often as on ramps, and you should be able to do the same with your
18 footer.noproblemo2 - 6-19-2010 at 01:04 PM
Welcome, a few spots to launch, but as you travel you will quickly learn which are the best for your situation of launching, camping here is always
fun also..irenemm - 6-19-2010 at 01:42 PM
Welcome to the Nomads and most of all a Big Welcome to Baja.
You will find so much information here to help you on your adventure.
I hope you have the time of your life. Do all your homework before you come and I think you will enjoy it so much more.

Hey Mack....a hearty Nomad welcome to ya fellow sailor. I raced Lasers when I was a girl and now have a Sunfish here to muck about on. You will have a
blast in baja...watch out for those big sets when launching and beaching though!!! stop in and see us if you are in the hood!!BajaBlanca - 6-20-2010 at 03:38 PM
welcome to the world of Baja Nomads .... stop by and visit us too - 600 miles south of San Diego, straight shot ! La Bocana is the name of our
village and we are quite remote - quiet - beautifully cool all summer (mostly). My husband Les and I run a B & B and we would love to meet you !
Donate a bike or surfboard or some skateboards to the local sports club and get a free night with us
Safe and Happy travels !!
By the time I get down there in the WVO powered sprinter van I will hopefully be an accomplished kite boarder. I think kite boarding would be the
perfect compliment to my WVO powered van and XR600R dual sport motorcycle.
Looking forward to a killer time next winter.Stickers - 1-12-2011 at 05:58 PM

If you have a vegetable powered Sprinter how do you obtain fuel in your travels, does it also use diesel DENNIS - 1-12-2011 at 06:03 PM

Glad to see you just came out of your coma. Welcome to the board.dtbushpilot - 1-12-2011 at 07:58 PM
Welcome to Nomads mack. They don't call the east cape the wind surfing capitol of the world for nothing. If you are into that stuff you will be in the
right place. Not a bad place for off road riding either, pretty good fishing hole to boot. If you get as far as Los Barriles look me up and we will
have a beer and maybe a trail ride (don't kite board yet). You will need to stop referring to it as "the" Baja though or other Nomads will make fun of
you.......heck, we will probably make fun of you anyway...dtwessongroup - 1-12-2011 at 08:11 PM
