Living/Sailing - MEXICO

[Cheechako]

I loved mexico/baja. I'd be careful about too big a project though. It's a one week sail from So Cal so find the right boat; Mexico or Cal and go!

At my age, I do want some sail and enjoy time. So if I'm hearing your comment correctly, it may be cheaper to buy a boat say in San Diego and sail it/move it to MEXICO? Again, thank you for your great feedback!

I drive. 7 hours from Phoenix. The only fly from Phoenix is AA to Hermosillo and bus to guaymas than to San Carlos.. I would suggest to have your car there - so.. drive from CO. Check Cascade 36 there... My opinion great project if you get the price right. Also I am not sure if you can repair and live in a boat longer than 2 weeks (they move the boat from storage to the work area) CA makes sense if you buy a boat "ready to go"(USA definition - not MX definition). Feel free to ping me if you want to chat over the phone.
