The crew of Adventure Can't Wait successfully anchors in Calita Candelaros Chico in the Sea of Cortez after two previous failed attempts due to overcrowding and unfavorable northerly winds.0:41 The anchorage offers protection from the north-northwest, which is necessary as forecasts predict 20- to 25-knot winds from the north.0:56 While attempting to sail the 10-mile passage to a subsequent anchorage near Colorado, the crew struggles against an adverse tide and light, shifting winds, eventually resorting to motoring to maintain progress.5:10 Upon arrival at the new anchorage, the crew re-anchors to move 300 feet, seeking better protection from a northeast swell.9:54 The crew routinely raises the mainsail while at anchor to simplify departure in tight quarters.4:06 The passage highlights the necessity of balancing sail plans for upwind performance and the frequent requirement to motor when wind conditions or tidal currents prevent effective sailing.
