Qué cubre este vídeo
Aubrey and her crew navigate a 3-day passage from San Agustin to Chiapas, Mexico, crossing the Gulf of Tehuantepec.1:08 To avoid the high winds and 8-to-15-foot seas common in the center of the bay, the crew chooses the "one foot on the beach" strategy, sailing within a half-mile of the shoreline.11:51 This route utilizes the land mass to mitigate the wind-tunnel effect caused by air funneling over the narrow Isthmus of Tehuantepec.12:09 During the transit, the crew encounters whales and manta rays while maintaining a steady motor-sailing pace.3:48 The vessel experiences a fuel system failure, requiring the crew to bleed the engine lines after running out of fuel.17:44 The passage concludes with a successful arrival at the mouth of the Chiapas waterway during high tide.18:06 The crew confirms that hugging the coastline provides a viable, calmer alternative to offshore routes during periods of high wind.
