¿Qué cubre este video?
Anchored in a northerly wind at an unnamed anchorage on Thanksgiving Day 2021, Warren and Erica host a stand-up paddleboard sailing regatta with their cruising fleet while waiting out weather before continuing to La Paz.1:13 The main event is a improvised race in which competitors rig makeshift sails — fashioned from tarps and paddles — onto paddleboards and race downwind between two anchored boats.6:09 Erica wins the race, and a handmade trophy is presented to her.17:42 Before the regatta, Warren repairs a hairline crack in a PEX hot-water pipe deep in the engine compartment: the replacement pipe has the same outer diameter but a thicker wall and smaller inner diameter, so he heats it with a butane torch to stretch it over the fitting — a technique he confirms is acceptable with PEX.4:04 Cruising friends supply the spare red PEX pipe.2:13 A GoPro dropped overboard during the finish is recovered by snorkeling.16:32 The evening ends with a Thanksgiving dinner aboard, card games, and the group declaring the paddleboard regatta an annual tradition regardless of location.18:12
