if there are no hurrycames forming actively, it is great sailing south in summer in mexico.
is when those brats begin to swirl--even when only 50 percent--then wait. north of mag bay including mag bay, is safe from hurrycames.
most pacific named storms go nw out to sea. they do produce heavier seas and slightly more associated storm activity, depending on if you are in monsoonal trough.
it isnt gonna kill anyone to sail in hurrycame season if they do it intelligently. there are weather windows--just compute your passage length and harbor hop more --go to places with wifi unless you have special status with the universe, and go when no storms are building. there are some great places to harbor hop if you look hard,especially if you have a shallow draft.
if it is predicted to have named storm hit mexico--stay mag bay an north. in sea of c--find local knowledge.
if fishermen are heading in--will be windy weather--follow em into port.
pacific can become very quiet between storms.
is the insurance lobby that is limiting y'alls sailing times. not mother nature. she doesnt hate sailors or need to give em anything if they wreck. she takes no prisoners nor pander to anyone's special needs.
keep aware of weather every day. it will change. people are sailing on the pacific south of cabo san lucas and south of mazatlan even now. folks are still changing locations in these summer months. some are motoring some are sailing. some are doing both.
in a sloop when cruising, motorsailing is usually with main up for stability. you will have much less rolly action and you will not be as tired from constantly raising and lowering it every few hours--figure out the sail plan for light winds and motoring--sail smart.
if ye make it to banderas bay in summer--is plenty of warning prior to an expected hit--and excellent sailing in banderas bay when they are offshore. even to the day prior to hit. this place is spozedly a natural hurrycame hole...i am still watching closely from north coast of banderas bay.
my marina rent is 38cents, us, per foot. i pay monthly in summer, or low season.
is my repair season, but i sail with others occasionally when is necessary. boat leaves la cruz in winter for more southerly locations.
