The crew of the 40-ft catamaran Catalpa navigates the Sea of Cortez during summer, contending with extreme heat, swarming bees, and offshore fishing. While anchored in a bay near Conception Bay, thousands of bees invade the vessel, entering through the anchor locker and vents, resulting in stings to two crew members and forcing an immediate departure.9:48 The crew manages the infestation by remaining calm and clearing the deck while underway.10:51 During transit, the crew attempts to stock their freezer by trolling with hand lines and a rod, successfully landing mahi-mahi and a jack after adjusting lure colors to include pink.6:14 The vessel experiences light winds, prompting the crew to fly two spinnakers simultaneously for the first time, utilizing spinnaker socks to facilitate deployment and retrieval.15:57 Temperatures frequently exceed 40°C (104°F), requiring the crew to use deck hoses for cooling while motoring toward Santa Rosalia.18:28
