at the beginning of the season for those who like the group atmosphere. Many have done it several times, cruised the world and done it again, plan to go on the the Pacific Puddle Jump, or spend a season or more in Mexico. I happen to be going down with a boat that is trying this out for a future long cruise but can't leave yet, but last trip there were quite a few people leaving the US and saying they were never coming back, and I assume the same will be true this year. And a whole lot of those I sailed down with in 2006 (not my first Mexico trip, just first HaHa) are still out there. I have over 25000 miles on my boat, but obviously haven't spent enough time cruising the right places if I am doing another HaHa. ;)
