Reply to comment by TSL4me in American woman lost at sea in Mexico is confirmed dead, university says by maxxspeed
We are in a 1983 Hallberg-Rassy 352 named Trouble.
We purchased her in BC Canada as the pandemic started, and sailed her to SF bay. We left San Francisco August 24th and hopped down the coast. We are now in Bahia Tortuga, and we will be in La Paz by Christmas. Then north into the gulf.
No license is necessary, although you should be experienced. The Pacific can throw some shit at you.
Diesel mechanics are hard to come by south of Ensenada and north of La Paz. Parts are even harder, so you have to be self sufficient and carry as many spares of essentials as possible.
We've never come across Mexican navy.
PM me - I'm happy to answer any questions you have.
Here is our path since leaving SF.

Wow, living the dream!
If you keep heading south you would love Cabo San Lucas. I visited last year and the boating community of expats was huge.
Safe travels!

How’d you like Morro Bay? (sorta my home away from home)

I have driven up and down hwy 1 for years, but this was the first time stopping by Coos bay. We loved it there! A quaint town in a bay full of anchored boats, next to the giant monolith belly of an ancient volcano.
It's really a special place.

100%. It's my favorite spot on the central coast. Great pic!
