What this video covers

A 500-nautical-mile passage from Chiapas to Acapulco, Mexico, requires four days of travel for the sailboat Bohemia and the companion vessel Martini.0:05 The crew maintains an average speed of 120 miles per day, relying heavily on the engine due to light winds, though they occasionally utilize afternoon thermal winds to sail.1:40 During the transit, the Mexican Navy intercepts the vessels twice for routine inspections, including one encounter with a patrol boat that did not appear on AIS.13:20 The crew manages significant mosquito infestations originating from the Chiapas marina and experiences high-volume fishing activity, catching eight bonitos and one sierra.19:26 They release the bonitos due to difficulty in preparation but successfully prepare the sierra for dinner.18:59 To extend their range, the crew transfers fuel from jerry cans to the main tank to compensate for the high engine usage.22:11 The passage concludes with a safe arrival in Acapulco, where the vessels anchor overnight.23:56
