What this video covers
Armand and Liya relaunch their boat, Cosmo, in San Carlos, Mexico, after a three-month haul-out at Marina Seca.▶ 3:26 The refit included applying Coppercoat, replacing the rudder bearing, and adjusting the steering cables. During the launch, the crew identified and repaired a loose exhaust hose, the only leak found upon re-entering the water.▶ 3:45 After departing the marina, the pair sailed four miles to anchor at Playa Algodones to test the steering and propulsion systems, noting improved engine performance at 2,100 RPM.▶ 5:33 Due to excessive rolling from swell at the first anchorage, they relocated 14 miles north to the remote Bahia San Pedro.▶ 9:26 The crew also fabricated a custom cockpit awning using snap-on materials to provide shade and protection against upcoming Chubasco storms.▶ 7:16 The transition from the boatyard to cruising concluded with a period of anchoring and spearfishing in the isolated bay.▶ 10:27
