What this video covers

Erica and Warren cruise the Sea of Cortez in the Gulf of California, focusing on Bahia Concepcion while attempting to minimise engine use.▶ 3:37 The pair anchors in various remote, arid bays, utilising paddleboards for local exploration and maintaining a lookout for whale sharks.▶ 1:52 During a 30-mile passage, light winds force the crew to deploy an asymmetric spinnaker to maintain forward momentum without motoring.▶ 13:32 Despite a commitment to sail exclusively, the crew eventually engages the engine for the final mile of a passage to reach an anchorage before sunset after speeds drop to one knot.▶ 15:20 The transit takes 11 hours, significantly longer than the estimated six hours required for motor-sailing.▶ 16:27 The crew documents their progress in a logbook to track fuel consumption and passage times.▶ 17:34
