Well, after 2 years of thinking about it and some serious planning
I've committed to an expedition that I expect will change my life:
paddling solo from San Diego to Cabo San Lucas, a nearly 1,100 mile trek.
My plan is to paddle my Trident 15 from San Diego and hit every great
fishing spot along the way. I've done a lot of research, made some test
runs, spoke to others who have sailed it, and have done of my homework.
This trip will not be easy, but I expect to encounter a lot of great fishing.
I have several reasons for making this trip, including documenting the
status of the oceans and fisheries along the way. I've got several cameras
mounted on my kayak as well as hand helds. Hopefully, I'll get some great
footage along the way, which I'll share when I return.
I've got some great sponsors, including Surf to Summit, Werner Paddles,
and my personal favorite, Stone Brewing Company. They've agreed to
supply me with all the IPA I want along my route.
I'll be posting more before I go but, if anyone has any constructive
comments, connections in Baja they could share, or would like to help by
helping me resupply along the way (driving or on a boat), that would be
great. I expect the trip to take between 45-60 days, so if anyone is
heading south during July and August, the timing might coincide.

Wish me luck.
