Godspeed Dave. That's a a true adventure.

In terms of a baja network, I would suggest that you post you journey on BajaNomad.com. They have a tight network of old baja hands who can provide a lot of support.

You're a brave and ambitious man...I like that! I've never met you, but I'd like to offer any support I can. My only Pacific side of Baja connect is in Erendira. I can put you in touch with some fisherman that are (3 generations) native to the area if need be. PM me for details, I'd be happy to help. Best of luck and safety to you

we all know IPA sucks when it gets over 50 deg.

Good luck.Interested in how you plan on resting,camping ,showering, sleeping etc.

How many miles you cover per day will depend on 2 factors I am sure,weather and fishing.Dont let yourself run out of fresh water and hopefully you habla espaniol a little....

My advice is to not cut any corners on safety gear.
I'd like to hear what you will be carrying on the kayak.

SAT Phone, EPIRB, offshore life jacket, good laser flashlight, water, salt tablets, potassium, Bullfrog with titanium dioxide, etc.

Good Luck - be safe.

Sounds like a lot of fun. Might want to contact a couple of the San Diego Sportfishing landings for sponsorship. That time of year there will be boats down there virtually every day which could supply you. You would have to figure an angle that is good for them though.

Good luck to you. I don't envy all the surf launches and landings. I assume you have read the book titled "We Survived Yesterday". If not, it is a must read for a trip like this. How long are you planning to take for the trip? I suggest you take a sail kite or something like that as I expect you will have many hours with a 10 plus knot wind behind you. I strongly suggest you get set up with a rudder too if you don't already have one.

I’m sure you have read the book "We Survived Yesterday: Kayaking from San Diego to Cabo San Lucas"

Editorial Reviews
Product Description
Detached from civilization in double kayaks, paddling nine hours a day for 34 days straight, this 1200 mile voyage from San Diego, California to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico was a true man against nature adventure. The rough water and rocky coastline had been anticipated, but the rats, mice, ants, crabs, coyotes, mosquitoes and wild pigs that either ate our food, stole our gear or tried to sleep in our sleeping bags with us we had not anticipated. We learned that the human mind and spirit can endure, create, and problem solve better than we ever imagined.

I also think that there was another two man team that did this last year out of cbad /Oceanside to raise awareness for cancer, but I never followed up on the story. I’m sure if you haven’t already; you could get a hold of these two and get their thoughts...

Too bad you can’t take a board. You are going to pass some world class spots and some super secret places accessible only by 8 hour jaw breaking washboard roads or boat....

Can you list your potential stops/campsites?

Good luck
