Armand and Liya, sailing the 38-ft boat *Cosmo*, identify a persistent saltwater leak in the V-berth that had been misdiagnosed as a failure of their recently installed underwater lights.4:46 After testing for leaks during a passage to Bahia de los Angeles, they confirm the water ingress originates from the anchor locker rather than the hull fittings.7:04 The leak occurs because the anchor locker’s existing drainage holes sit too high, allowing water to pool and seep through a stress crack in the fiberglass bulkhead at the bow.15:35 To repair the breach, Armand removes the V-berth water tank to access the confined space, chips away old, failing fiberglass patches, and creates a new corner reinforcement using a wood template and fresh fiberglass layup.10:55 The repair successfully seals the bulkhead, preventing further saltwater intrusion.17:59 Bahia de los Angeles serves as a remote provisioning stop in the northern Sea of Cortes, offering essential fuel and groceries for cruisers despite its isolation.8:02
