How Was Your Bash?

February through late May is the Baja Bash season, the time when boats that have spent the winter in Mexico need to make the 750-mile trip upwind and upcurrent from Cabo to San Diego. Unless you have a lot of time to wait out bad weather, you never know what you’re going to get. So far this year, we’ve heard from folks who have had the fastest and easiest of their many Bashes so far, while others have gotten hammered.

Did you have a typical ‘bash’ or was your trip up the Baja coast surprisingly easy?

If you did the Bash this year, we’d like to hear how it went for you. How many days did it take? How many days, if any, did you have to stay put because of bad weather? Is there anything you learned from your trip that would be helpful to others? Please send your reports to Richard.
