Dear Baja Insider Subscriber:
Here we are in September - the thick of the Baja Hurricane Season. So far we have been fortunate, with the closest storm passing more than 300 miles south of Cabo San Lucas. But we can't count on that luck holding out through the month of September. The last two weeks of September and the first week of October are our most significant threat. We have some of the best weather resources for the Eastern Pacific on our weather pages. Plus, each week we look at the factors that put us at risk for tropical cyclones.
As always, we encourage you to forward this email to friends who love Baja.
So
without further ado - here are some of the stories on the Baja Insider:
