From Panama to Sea of Cortez

I am considering cruising from Panama to the Sea of Cortez during January February 2020 with my 43 ' catamaran.
I would appreciate any advice on sea weather and coasts along this route .

Re: From Panama to Sea of Cortez

I have cruised that coast going the opposite direction--it's a fine cruise. Weather is mostly going to be affected by land: look out for Papagallos from Nicaragua to Guatemala, be wary of Tehuantepeckers. The local cruising guides (Sail Sarana was just being published when I went by) do a very good job of covering the weather and other wildlife.
There's lots of neat stuff to see, some remote places on the way (stock up on supplies when you can--your best bet is the city of David, accessed from Pedregal in Panama: next decent grocery store going north is in Mexico).
Avoid Corinto, Nicaragua; by all means explore the Gulf of Fonseca, and don't be afraid of crossing the bar into Bahia del Sol in El Salvador.
