Trust me, there are boatowners out there who would love to have you aboard, even as a rank beginner. Mark Joiner Dolphin Wailea, Maui Readers — If you make an effort, the things Mark recommends do work. Patrick Ralph of Benicia recently did a Baja Bash aboard Profl igate. He told us that he's gotten 20 rides from the Crew List, including the last two Ha-Ha's and the last two Pacifi c Puddle Jumps. ⇑⇓NO PRE-MEXICO PAPERWORK NECESSARY I met the Grand Poobah and Doña de Mallorca briefl y at the '98 Ha-Ha Crew List Party at the Encinal YC. I opted not to be a part of the Ha-Ha, as it moved south too fast for me, but I did spend the '98-'99 season cruising in Mexico. I'm now hoping to spend the '10-'11 season cruising in Mexico. My current home port is Eureka, and I'm wondering if I have to go to a Mexican consulate before sailing to Mexico. If I do, do you know of a service that can take care of the paperwork for me? I'd prefer to avoid having to make an expensive trip to the consulate in either Sacramento or San Francisco. This time my cruising plan is to not stop anywhere north of Mazatlan, except possibly to anchor or rest overnight. And on my way down, I wish to avoid San Francisco and San Diego entirely. What are my options? David Carr Flying Cloud, Yorktown 35 Eureka David — You have nothing to worry about. There is no paperwork that needs to be done prior to clearing in at a Mexican port of entry, and when you get to one, all you need is your boat registration or documentation and a passport for everyone on your boat. Mexican ports of entry on the way to Mazatlan include Ensenada, Cedros, San Carlos and Cabo. To date, Mexican offi cials haven't expressed any concern with boats stopping overnight in Mexican waters prior to clearing in at a port of entry. For instance, the Ha-Ha fl eet stops at both Turtle Bay and Bahia Santa Maria prior to clearing in at Cabo. But you don't want to push it. For answers to these and many other questions about cruising in Mexico, visit Latitude 38's First Timer's Guide to Cruising Mexico. It can be found and downloaded for free at www.baja-haha.com. ⇑⇓THE COSTS OF CHARTERING 'TI PROFLIGATE I just read the June Sightings piece on the Leopard 45 catamaran the publisher of Latitude has in a yacht management program in the British Virgin Islands, and how well it's worked for him over the last three years. That's very interesting, and it may be something I'd like to get into in a few years. But for right now, I'm curious what a Leopard 45 cat — which I understand has four cabins with four heads en suite — costs to charter for a week in a second-tier yacht charter program. Tony Scarlino Tempe Tony — All we can tell you is what our '00 Leopard 45 'ti Profl igate charters for from BVI Yacht Charters. In the off
