What this video covers
Aaron and Allie, aboard their vessel Spy, navigate from Ensenada El Cardinal on Isla Partida to Playa Pichilingue near La Paz, Mexico, while buddy boating with friends Ruth and Garrett on their boat, Red Aviva.16:03 Facing depleted food supplies, the crews rely on spearfishing for triggerfish to supplement a diet of beans and rice.16:40 Aaron uses a borrowed spear gun to harvest the triggerfish, which require careful filleting due to their tough, armor-like skin.3:29 The transit to Playa Pichilingue involves mostly motoring in windless conditions, with a brief period of sailing under jib as they approach the anchorage.15:07 Upon arrival, the crews visit a local palapa for fresh tacos and drinks before addressing the significant seagrass growth on the hull of Spy.16:14 The passage is timed to meet visiting family in La Paz.14:57
