As you have probably discovered, bareboat chartering is not cheap, although
Mexico is typically less than elsewhere. You could take a change, get down
there, and see if you can hitch a ride with on one of the boats in either
the marina or anchored out. Perhaps you can talk someone into letting you go
for a day or two sail with them. If this was in October, you could
definitely get a ride on someone's boat during the Baja Ha Ha, which leaves
from San Francisco.

Hi, I'm an Alaskan who is managing to escape Nome February! A kind
friend bought me a ticket to Los Cabos Mexico.

SWF, 35, rides snowgo-s to her office job in the winter, lifeguards
once a weeks at the local pool and bartends on Friday night at the
sweetest little pub in Nome....

I got my bareboat certificate (ASA) in September, but to be honest
what the class taught me was that I have no business bareboating
without ALOT more experience! The class was actually my second time
on a sailboat, it was tough, I know nothing BUT I WANT TO LEARN!!!!!

Any suggestions? Chartering would be great but the companies I've
contacted were way over my budget.....I mean, I understand boats cost
money and would want to compensate, but I'm not really concerned about
being on a super fancy boat and having someone to cook me fru-fru
meals!

I just wanna play with the wind!!!!!!!

take out the *no_spam* in the email if you reply to my email addy!

"Baja Ha Ha".....that sounds like a fun race...damm, when
the wind is right, i'll bet the reaches and downwind sailing
is a blast...esp from the bay area....

cabo is nice, my wife and i honey mooned down there...i would
guess the chartering and sailing gets better, once you drop over
the mexico mainland and contunue south a few hundred miles
( below cabo) .... dont forget the atlantic side of mexico for
sailing opportunities as well.......that is, once you expierence
the upper "gulfo de california"...
