Qué cubre este vídeo

Cruising the northern Sea of Cortez, the crew of a home-built boat navigates complex tidal currents and unpredictable weather while migrating south during hurricane season.0:17 After anchoring at the desolate Isla Los Animas, the crew departs early due to an intense infestation of biting insects, locally known as bobos or no-see-ums.5:10 The passage requires careful routing between Isla San Lorenzo and Isla Los Animas to manage tidal eddies, which can reach 12-foot fluctuations in the region.9:28 While waiting out a potential hurricane near San Fransquito, the crew debates whether to head north, south, or retreat to San Carlos based on shifting weather models.16:24 They eventually decide to proceed toward Santa Rosalia, approximately 80 miles away, while buddy-boating with another vessel named Saoirse.17:52 The crew also performs routine maintenance, including installing baggy wrinkles on the shrouds to prevent sail chafe.15:29 Navigating the Sea of Cortez requires constant monitoring of localized current patterns and frequent re-evaluation of weather forecasts during hurricane season.
