Qué cubre este vídeo
A crew charters a 52-foot Jeanneau 519 monohull in La Paz, Mexico, for a two-week cruise through the Sea of Cortez. The vessel features an older, manual-rigged setup with top-loading refrigeration, no davits, and a single-line reefing system that the crew finds difficult to operate due to excessive friction through multiple turning blocks. During the transit, the crew manages light northerly winds by motoring upwind, planning to sail downwind on the return leg. While anchored at the uninhabited island of Isla Partida, the crew demonstrates traditional swimming and meal preparation. Separately, the crew uses a Growatt 1500 portable power station to run a Starlink satellite terminal while stranded on a roadside in Mexico, noting the unit's ability to charge via AC, car outlets, or up to 800 watts of solar input.
