The Spring 2006 Sailing Season begins March 19thThose of you reading this log in Arizona know we've had a very warm spring. Conditions in Pureto Penasco have been tempting us to sail south. We've all been busy with other activities but we put a date in the calendar and off we go Mar 19th.. I initially wrote this intro Sat March 11 and the warm conditions were gone. In Phoenix we had rain and snow on the mountains just north of town. We've got a few days until cruise date and hoping things improve however weather looks to be heading our way later this week. Gato Loco will be away from home port Penasco until late June and we hope to revisit La Paz before bringing her home before the hurricane season starts. The first leg will take us to San Carlos where we will launch further south in late April. We have a special treat to be escorted south by StingReay, a Corsair F28 trimaran sailed by Craig Reay and crew Josh Eggman. They will sail with us to Puerta Refugio before turning back to Penasco. This will be their first cruise on this performance speedster. We will have to focus our sailing skills to stay up with them. Gato Loco will be crewed by Lowell, Frankie, Bill and first timer Vicki our friend from Flagstaff and more recently Jackson Hole.. The cruise route is organized to show StringReay some of the closer Baja anchorages before we head on to San Carlos. Rough Itinerary Sun

We will try to get an update out as we depart to let everybody know we're off and how the conditions are. Email details....
