Coastal Point Hop: It’s only 200 n.m. down to Ixtapa, so let’s run this coast non-stop by staying about 1.75 to 3.75 n.m. off these points of land: Punta Campos (Manzanillo), Cabeza Negra, Punta San Telmo, Punta Piedras Blancas, Punta Lizardo, Bufadero Bluff (Caleta de Campos), Punta Manglar (Puerto Lazaro Cardenas) and Punta Tracones.

This fall’s annual migration of recreational boats into Mexican waters is expected to be quite a bit larger than it was back in pre-pandemic 2019. This is mostly due to pent-up demand from 2020’s withered cruising season, and the statistics are already showing a healthy increase.

For example, as of Aug. 1, 2021, the venerable Baja Ha Ha southbound group already had 160 sailboats entered for their Nov. 1 pilgrimage into Mexico. The relatively new Panama Posse (Mexico to Panama) already had 214 early entrant boats, and more than a quarter of those were long-range trawler cruisers. This cruising season some Panama Posse participants are expanding their cruising plans beyond Panama and well into the Caribbean and South Pacific. Obviously, this year’s southbound migration will not be a one-size-fits-all activity.

There are many reasons 2020 is a year we’d rather forget, but despite those reasons, sailing has remained a bright spot. Events have had to be canceled, but alternatives like the Nada Ha-Ha, with over 50 boats signed up to cruise-in-company to Mexico, and the Panama Posse with over 90 boats signed up to take them all farther south, are doing their best to fill in the blanks. BAMA (Bay Area Multihull Association) managed to sail their rescheduled Double Handed Farallones Race on Saturday, while the Corinthian Yacht Club started a fall racing series.

Why did you stop doing the rally?

The original idea behind the rally was to make Bahia del Sol a regular stop on cruisers southbound itinerary and, after 10 years, that was accomplished. Now, the Panama Posse even has taken that over. The majority of boats stopping here are part of that group.
