It seems that there's either no wind or it blows from where you want go. Also if I make a crossing say, from Los Frailes to Mazatlan, I want to get there in the daylight. With my 30 gallons in the cockpit, I hold 86 gallons.
I also still may try South Pacific so I'd like to have enough to get offshore for the trades, and have a reserve to get to an anchorage under power. I'm not a real good sailor either. Still learning.
For now I'm stuck in Marina Seca, San Carlos, which is still trying to recover from Hurricane Jemena over two weeks ago. I have no power or water in the work yard so not much work getting done. But I still love it down here.
