The season here in La Ventana, BCS is
off to an unbelievably windy start. This is definitely the
windiest season in years. After only a few days of wind in
October and early November, the Nortes kicked in on November
10th and except for only 4 or 5 days, have been blowing
everyday since!
We've been having stretches of 10 to 15
days of sailable wind then one day for fishing or needed
rest. And most days have been serious 4.2 to 4.7 for the
sailors and 8, 10 and occasionally 12 meters for kiters.
Life is definitely good; sunshine and day after day of wind.
One look at the campground and it's easy to see that La
Ventana is no longer a secret place that few people know
about. It seems that people have arrived 2 or 3 weeks
earlier than past years. The last beach front site was gone
by October 20th, and with another week before the Christmas
crowd arrives, there are only a couple of places left along
the back fence. It looks like a cozy January at the RV Park.
One good thing is that the new banos have been completed
near the entrance...a welcome addition.
Good news in the equipment department...the new 2006 Ezzys are fantastic! Nancy and I have been enjoying the new SE for several weeks in some of Baja's best swells / bump and jump conditions.  I believe they have even more range, power, and speed than past years, with what I would call "finger tip balance". Just follow the easy to understand rigging guides, and all you need is a light touch on the boom for a fun, smooth and balanced ride. And new for '06 is an extra strong bottom panel to guard against harness hook dents, and colors that really pop out on the water.
Enjoy the holidays, and if you are lucky enough to be heading to Baja this winter, we'll see you on the water.
