The crew of the sailboat *Cosmo* anchors in Pichilingue, a ferry port near La Paz, Mexico, to provision and perform maintenance after a 2,000-mile transit from Monterey.1:01 While anchored in 25 feet of water, the crew manages dinghy storage issues by reconfiguring their davits and attempting to install aftermarket dinghy wheels.12:14 The wheel installation requires custom spacers, which the crew sources by repurposing plastic cutting boards as a cost-effective alternative to expensive marine-grade starboard.19:58
The sailors utilize local infrastructure in La Paz, including Uber for transport to Home Depot, Walmart, and a dental clinic.21:22 They navigate the La Paz anchorage, noting concerns about the "La Paz Waltz"—a phenomenon where strong currents cause boats to swing unpredictably—and monitor a neighboring vessel that runs aground on a nearby sandbar during low tide.9:06 The crew successfully provisions for upcoming island passages and completes repairs to their dinghy davit system using UV-resistant thread to secure the outboard motor.13:50
