The 2017 sailing season schedule is beginning to develop with our Seawind Rally date being nailed down. The Rally is a fun opportunity to sail with friends while we&#8217;re in the Loreto area. Working with Ralph and Helen on Moon Drifter, we&#8217;ve planned the start for Sunday May 21st with boats collecting in Puerto Escondido for dinner at the Tripui resort. Our local friends Connie and Elvin have again offered to host a happy hour in the near by Jucalito anchorage the following Monday night so we have a little planning done. We&#8217;ll work on the remaining rally itinerary during our Tripui dinner based on weather conditions. Having this stake in the ground we&#8217;ll begin working on the planning for the entire cruising season for Gato Loco. Departure from Penasco will be a couple weeks later this year with the later date for the Rally. We&#8217;re looking forward to another fun filled season. Below I&#8217;ve put together a recap video of last season using photos that made the blogs. This should bring back a few memories. Enjoy the video. <\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><div style=\"width: 640px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-10476-1\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gatolocosailing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Baja2016-sml.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gatolocosailing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Baja2016-sml.mp4\">https:\/\/www.gatolocosailing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Baja2016-sml.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div> <\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">Until the Next Update Lowell <\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p align=\"center\"><a class=\"thickbox\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gatolocosailing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/SeaOfCortez004_thumb2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"SeaOfCortez004_thumb[2]\" style=\"border-top: 0px;
