"The big problem with this plan is what to with the boat in tropical storm season."
We have summered our boat for several years in the village of San Carlos near Guaymas, inside the Sea of Cortez on the mainland side. There are two large marinas with huge dry storage facilities. www.marinasancarlos.com will connect you with one of them that just enlarged theirs and should have plenty of room. This is north of the zone that most insurance companys won't cover during the season. It is about 250 miles to go to the US for parts and supplies if needed, with absolutely superb buss service on luxury busses on a 4 lane hwy. You wouldn't want to sail right past this beautiful body of water on the way south anyway. It is well worth the little side trip. Stop by and visit us on "EZDUZIT" in Puerto Escondido on your way up the sea. That is now our home port. It has a nice hotel and restrauant within walking distance of the dingy dock where Stu and Jon can buy you a nice dinner just for coming up with the idea. There, that takes care of the first year.
