What this video covers
Sea Dream of Clyde, a cruising sailboat, completes a 130-mile passage from San Quintín to Isla San Benito, Mexico, in approximately 24 hours.12:35 The crew maintains a wing-on-wing configuration for much of the transit, averaging 6.7 knots without manual steering.11:29 Upon arrival, the crew experiences a genoa furling failure, which they attribute to a loose furling line caused by excessive rolling during the passage; they drop the sail to investigate and plan further repairs.14:32 While anchored, the crew constructs a DIY rocker stopper using bucket lids and rope to dampen motion from the Pacific swell.3:44 They trade beer and pesos with local fishermen for fresh lobster and yellowtail fish.15:07 The crew explores the remote, volcanic island, observing fur seals and visiting both the active and defunct lighthouses.17:19
