SYNOPSIS
Our longest all-women’s passage yet, and to a new destination in Costa Rica! Join FALKEN in Mexico for a 2,000+ mile offshore sail to Playa Flamingo on Costa Rica’s Pacific coast. Like all of our all-women’s sails, this will be skippered by an all-female staff.
typical Weather Pattern
In February off the coast between Baja California and Costa Rica, sailors can expect a diverse range of maritime weather conditions. The area is influenced by the North Pacific High, often bringing steady northeasterly trade winds, ideal for a cruising sailboat making a passage south. However, squalls and unsettled weather patterns can also develop, creating localized disturbances with sudden wind shifts and enhanced precipitation.
