Exactly. I only split them into two because the options would be different. From San Lucas Cove the Isla is right there. Chivato is unique and fishy w/o the channel crossing.

Even Ross and I could do it that way!!!! Zed did I get your attention yet?
Back when Pta Colorada was running, finding a local w a camioneta to haul you back from Cabo Pulmo was the attraction. When I was there, I made almost daily paddles past Pta Arena. I was 5 miles as the crow flies (gps) from Pta Colorada, and below the point. I figured I was about 1/3 of the way to CP and the daily winds were starting to freshen from the NE, which made the paddle back to PC a little wet and tough quartering, but following would have been nicer on the drift. It would suck in a big blow, but the daily winds to 15 I experienced would have been great for the through. Only about the last mile or so would be through the Marine Reserve w a whole lot of options in between.
