The crew of the home-built vessel Rediviva departs the northern Sea of Cortez, beginning a southward migration from La Mona toward Isla Las Animas.12:21 The 27-nautical-mile passage involves buddy boating with the vessel Saoirse, requiring careful coordination to navigate unpredictable local currents that frequently attempt to spin the boat 180 degrees.15:23 While the crew initially motors to charge batteries and operate a water maker, they eventually hoist full sail in 10-to-12-knot winds.8:58 High ambient temperatures cause repeated failures of GoPro batteries, which swell and freeze during recording.12:16 Maintenance tasks include using a battery-operated hookah system to clean the hull and painting the chain pipe.7:48 The crew relies on a community of cruisers for shared resources, including spearfishing for protein and editing footage aboard other boats.6:24 The passage concludes with a transition from sailing to motoring as wind speeds drop, with the vessel maintaining 5.5 knots of speed toward the anchorage.20:19
