Here are my thoughts so far. And Im planning on 12 15 days. I've also noted small bays and cove to jump into along the way if conditions change.
After all it is the Sea of Cortez.
Day 1
San Lucas Cove to Las Naranjas in Bahia Concepcion 45 miles
Day 2
Las Naranjas to Pulpito - 50 miles
Day 3
Pupito to Puerto Escondido (fuel/water) to Isla Dazante (anchorage) - 59 miles
Day 4
Isla Dazante to Agua Verde to Los Gatos 47 miles
Day 5
Los Gatos to The Hook 41 miles
Day 6
The Hook to Espirito Santo 20 30 miles
Day 7
Espirito Santo to La Paz Marina 25 miles
Day 8
La Paz to La Ventana 50 miles (optional)

we saw a guy once going on a cruise with the vags out of loreto...
...when the vags did that kinda stuff
he thought he'd take everything for the trip on the boat
too heavy...spun a prop first day
i'd just make a plan to re-stock at different locations along the road
there's lots of people here that could assist
travel lighter

Fuel and water are my only real concerns. Once upon a time I was a hardcore backpacker so I know how to travel light. I'm planning on restocking in
Loreto for gas and water.
I'll need 6 gallons of water (50lbs.) and 50 gallons of gas (300lbs) per leg that weight around 350 lbs. I'll have a better clue once I finish the
first leg, SLC to Loreto/P. Escondido. The second leg will be Loreto/P. Escondido to La Paz. Another 300lbs for me and camping gear makes it 650lbs.
That is close to three guys in the boat. I think that should be fine even if it came too 700lbs. I'll also be saving weight as I am not taking my 14
gallon bait tank. Fuel and water weight will decrease daily as well.
I've had two big guys in the boat plus gear, 14 gallon bait tank, 24 gallons of fuel and 4 gallons of water with no problem. Also with another 30lbs
of fish in the box. that would run about 500lbs in people and gear, 110lbs for the bait tank, 32lbs in drinking water, 25 lbs fish and 144lbs of fuel
= 811lbs. Wow never thought about that before.
Typical trip is me and gear 275lbs, 110lbs bait tank, 16lbs water, 20lbs fish, 144 lbs fuel = 565lbs.
Thanks for you advice. You have made me take a hard look at things. Hopefully I'll meet some nomads on the way.

AcuDoc...Goes without saying... Take 3 oars for rowing. One extra in case you may need it, and dont forget a good set of tools for engine repair, and
two good anchors. A goood shade lash-up also is a must have. Have done the trip 3 times. Twice in a small dory and once by Kayak. Lots of friendly
fisherman and nice folks everywhere. Have fun. ++C++
