The crew of the Westerly Yachts Ltd. Discus 33 *Sea Dream of Clyde* navigates the Baja California Sur coast, managing extreme wind variability ranging from gale-force northerlies to light-air doldrums. After sheltering from a gale at Isla Coronados, the crew sails south to Puerto Escondido, utilizing a whisker pole to manage downwind conditions.0:58 During the transit, they encounter inaccurate depth soundings near San Cosme, where Navionics sonar charts significantly underestimated actual water depth.4:48 The crew performs routine maintenance, including replacing a roller furler bit, swapping an alternator, and patching an inflatable dinghy.2:39 They observe local geothermal activity at San Cosme hot springs and monitor for "elephantes"—violent, localized westerly gap winds caused by pressure differentials between the Gulf of California and the Pacific.11:30 The passage concludes with a transit to Juncalito as the crew prepares to head north to San Carlos for a scheduled haul-out before a planned voyage to Hawaii.25:53
