Winter Escapes
Sunshine and desert seas
Winter has a way of narrowing your field of view.
When the days get short and the water at home turns cold, some of us start looking south. Not for luxury or crowds, but for light, warmth, and more time on the water.
Maybe it's a surf trip in the back of a too-small pickup truck. Maybe it's a long imagined sail down the west coast. Either way, heading for Baja in winter is about staying true to your priorities.

It is designed to live where planning happens: on a wall in your home, cabin, van, or wheelhouse.

What This Map Is For
This map is made for the months when the trip still lives mostly in your head.
For tracing long drives with a finger. For talking through anchorages at the table. For remembering past seasons, and sketching the next one.
It is also a quiet piece of proof. Proof that you are the kind of (smart) person who goes south when the water at home turns cold. Proof that winter is not a pause in your year on the water, just a change in the light.
Why Winter Escapes Belong on your Wall
Winter trips are built slowly. You collect information in pieces: Forecasts; routes borrowed from other people; stories traded on docks, in boatyards, and on beaches. All while work, weather, and timing line up quietly in the background.
Screens show you one bay or forecast at a time. A paper map shows the whole story at once. Where you have been. Where you want to go. How it all connects.
Those small winter moments -coffee before work, rain on the windows, evenings with the boat on the hard- start to turn into real movement south.
Start Your Next Winter Escape
Winter escapes start long before you cross the border.
They start with a coastline you cannot stop thinking about, and a decision that this is the year you go.
Hang a Baja and Sea of Cortez map where you will see it every day. Let it hold the places you have already earned, the crossings you are still working up to, and the winter escape you are planning next.
