Qué cubre este vídeo

Armand and Liya, sailing the 39-foot vessel Cosmo, diverted their passage from Isla Animas to Bahia de Los Angeles after encountering light winds and slow progress.5:09 The crew initially planned a 39-mile transit but opted to anchor at Isla Partida in the Midriff Islands to avoid a night arrival in an area with poorly charted rocks and shoals.5:48 They prioritized daylight navigation to identify hazards and depth, noting that the anchorage at Isla Partida offered better protection and holding than the rocky, less-accessible southern side of the island.7:23 During their three-day stay, the crew explored the island by dinghy, snorkeled in sea caves, and supplemented their dwindling food supplies by spearfishing for grouper and hogfish.15:12 Armand also repaired a loose wire on a masthead light.14:08 The experience reinforced their preference for flexible passage planning over strict schedules, allowing them to adapt to local weather and provisioning needs while living off the land.
