Sea of Cortez 2019

November 24 to December 4, 2019

Join Modern Sailing on an unforgettable adventure in the mystical Sea of Cortez this November 24 through December 4.  We will sail our very own Coho II, a 44' Spencer 1330 from Baja, Mexico. Onboard meals, beverages, and snacks are included!

Snorkel with sea lions and colorful fish, explore deserted islands, and sail over 200 nautical miles between La Paz and Cabo San Lucas. Stops along the way will include Espiritu Santo, Isla Islotes, Ensenada de los Muertos, and Los Frailes.  This will give us a wide sampling of what this part of the Gulf of California and Baja Peninsula have to offer in sea life, natural terrain, and cultural attractions. Leave the winter storms behind and head south for the spectacular warm and clear waters of Mexico!

Testimonials

  • John Kratochvil, Oregon

    I would like to compliment Stan Lander for his coaching, counseling and teaching Heavy Weather Offshore Sailing. Stan was very accommodating to all of the student's interests and shared his many years of insight on handling the boat in heavy seas. I would certainly recommend Stan and this course to sheltered waters sailors. My confidence in handling a boat of this size was certainly enhanced by the experience.

  • David Dolenc, Member

    I love sailing in the San Francisco Bay and greatly appreciate everything that MSC has to offer, the classes, clinics, club sails, racing and charters. I enjoy our supportive sailing community and use every opportunity to spend time on the water. After obtaining the certifications from MSC I did my first charter in Croatia in 2022 with my family. It was amazing and we’re looking forward to returning soon!

    Since many, many years, I had the dream to sail underneath the Golden Gate bridge. On October 14th last year, my dream became true. Thanks to our dear friend Aaron Fritz who made it possible and organized this cruise for us. With this adventure I was able to achieve one more milestone on my sailing career.

    Finally on the water, it was great! Full moon made the flows even stronger and it was like sailing in a washing machine.

    I did my sailing education in the English Channel, where the situation with the wind and flows is comparable to the San Francisco Bay. So I felt pretty much "at home" being on the helm in the Bay.

    I hope our skipper Stan Lander enjoyed this day cruise too. We, definitely did! It was an unforgettable experience for all of us.

    A very big thank you to all of you who made it possible, that my dream became reality! Also thank you for the MSC flag I got at the end of the day. It found it's place in my study, where I can see it daily.
