January Jam in Cholla Bay has come to set the stage for the spring sailing season. Rain throughout the southwest threatened to put a damper on the evening but after raining all night the night before,  dry, cloudy but mild weather treated us to very nice evening of music at JJ\u2019s Cantina. \u201cOur second home in a third world cantina\u201d as the Peacemaker song describes. Check out the moon\u2019s brief appearance as the evening begins and probably 500 enjoying the concert evening.<\/p>\n

Friday before the music activities began we had a visit from 2 or maybe 3 humpback whales that chose to spend the day feeding at a distance in front of our house as if beaconing us get our sailing season started.<\/p>\n

Cruise plan<\/p>\n

For some reason I\u2019m extra excited about this season. Frankie and I have decided to stay in the southwest through July this year which makes more time for cruising and for me that means spending more time the northern Sea and some new anchorages. Bill and I have been working on a tentative cruise schedule..  We have some crews lined up and you\u2019ll see there are some opening still available.  It\u2019s hard to believe that Gato Loco made her first appearance in the Sea of Cortez in 2002. This will be our 11th year enjoying sharing the Sea of Cortez with our friends. Here\u2019s a vintage link to our Baja Haha race from San Diego to Cabo back in 2002..  https:\/\/www.gatolocosailing.com\/blog\/?p=4696<\/a><\/p>\n
