San Carlos (Guaymas) Sonora 2024
Duncan Double in the Sea of Cortez

So I found Duncan’s twin, my uncle in law who is not only a percebe (barnacle) but also 80 and rockin an Epic 9. He took first place in the annual Guaymas paddle race (check out link below) in flat water. But like I told Dunc, David and Reivers from Nov through April it’s downwind central and maybe better than Ventana, Kite Beach by the Sunset Grill is the haven for a reason!
I propose an exchange program whereby a bunch of barnacles visit San Carlos Sonora for a week of DW, then we invite the Percebes (Spanish for Barnacle) de Mexico to the NW for some summer Gorge and BBay. The last few days have been blowing 30-45 kts, water temps 70 F, air 70-80s, DW options of 10 mi for ~15 min of driving, with options for +/- 5-10 extra mi for a few more minutes driving. Today from Isla San Pedro could have done 20 mi in probably 1.5 hrs! And plenty of fishing charters would shuttle us up in morning calm waters (1hr) for clockwork 20-30 kts by 1pm! Maybe catch some fish for dinner too!

Or, as you know, barnacles don't travel well. So I'm going to go sit in my car at MP with my boat on top and contemplate these F'd up Westerlies. Maybe pull up some old video on my phone of guys opening beer bottles with their teeth.
Ewe, yuckmeister. Hate westerlies.

Twisted water RD. Should’ve left Fairhaven and come to the harbor with Larry and I. But I realize it’s a bit of a drive from your high-end Fairhaven area . 2 1/2 miles out . nice challenge but not that bad . Surfed it back. Weeds,
That’s it , DK goes on . But I really like Kia’s surf rudder.

Ayup. Some of the younger barnacles thought it was ok. I had weed issues with my Kai Surf Rudder. But the main problem is the boat is under-powered.
But I have to say, dang nice to get in a sun-warmed car. …ok grossman, I know, your's is more sun-warmed than mine.
