Qué cubre este vídeo
Blue Pearl, a cruising sailboat, navigates the Sea of Cortez, Mexico, while managing uncomfortable swells and light wind conditions. After experiencing persistent rolling at Isla San Francisco, the crew deploys a stern anchor for the first time in 30 feet of water to stabilize the vessel.1:45 The crew visits Bahia El Gato, where they encounter aggressive bees, and later explores Bahia San Marcel, noting excellent free diving at the outer reefs.6:47 While transiting toward Loreto, Mexico, to meet a guest, the crew struggles with light winds, often relying on the engine when speeds drop below two knots despite using the main, mizzen, and Genoa sails.7:08 They successfully catch a 32-inch mackerel while sailing toward Juncalito.14:17 The crew frequently uses Navionics for navigation and PredictWind for weather forecasting, though they find the latter's wind predictions occasionally inaccurate. Deploying a stern anchor effectively mitigates excessive rolling in swell-prone anchorages.
