A Westerly Yachts Ltd. Discus 33 sailing the Gulf of California navigates coastal passages between Loreto, Bahia Concepcion, and Santa Domingo before completing a 78-mile crossing to San Carlos.34:20 The crew manages fluctuating winter winds, frequently reefing and shaking out sails to maintain progress against steep, short-period seas.1:21 When wind speeds drop below 1.5 knots or navigation becomes difficult in narrow channels, the crew utilizes the engine, though they successfully complete several legs—including a two-week stretch—without motor use.16:52 Anchoring strategy involves tucking into shallow, protected bays to avoid swell, often navigating around sport fishing boats that create significant wake.4:11 During the final 78-mile offshore transit to San Carlos, the crew monitors AIS data to identify a collision risk with a freighter, successfully coordinating a course change via radio.35:41 The journey concludes with a haul-out in San Carlos to prepare the vessel for a two-month period of inactivity.39:27
