The wind has been blasting in southern Baja.  After 50/50 for sailable days in February, last week we had 6 days of 3.7 – 4.2 with big swells to 9 feet.  Not Maui waves, but for the Sea of Cortez it’s what we live for all season; and a special treat for everyone who stays

After an epic January, the wind in February has been light.  At least the final two days of the month are making up for a lackluster performance by Mother Nature in the wind department.  I counted only 9 days of solid conditions for sailing during the month, along with a few other light days if

We’ve been coming to La Ventana for 12 years and this January was the windiest we’ve ever seen.  One of our friends, Richard who’s biggest sail is a 6.2, was able to sail 19 days in a row, then one “no wind day”, followed by 10 straight.  It’s been a windsurfer’s dream with day after

Thank goodness we are finally on-line here in La Ventana!  We arrived in early October to find that our internet modem was DOA, but thanks to a friend from the Gorge a replacement arrived a couple of days ago.  Nancy was getting tired of standing on a chair and turning “just right” to get one

David’s newest sail, The Panther Limited, has finally been released.  Judging from the reactions of the Gorge sailors who tested it this summer, it’s truly a masterpiece.  Thanks to all the sailors who gave us their impressions of the Limited.  Just listen to what some Gorge sailors had to say:  (I felt like Santa on
