A 2,000-mile Pacific coast passage from Ensenada to San Quintin aboard the sailboat *Cosmo* results in multiple equipment failures and lessons in offshore maintenance. During the 36-hour transit, the crew discovers their dinghy has been taking on water because they neglected to plug the drain hole, causing two of the three towing lines to snap.▶ 4:25 Simultaneously, the dinghy’s security D-ring rips out of the Highfield hull, causing the dinghy to swing and knock over the grill.▶ 5:56 The crew also struggles with a malfunctioning jib furler, which prevents them from reducing sail area in 15- to 20-knot winds.▶ 8:28 Upon reaching San Quintin, the crew repairs a cracked vinyl jib window with sail repair tape and investigates the furler, only to have the jib halyard snap while testing the system.▶ 21:12 Armand climbs the mast to retrieve the halyard, and the crew successfully re-rigs the jib.▶ 21:49 The experience highlights the importance of securing dinghies for long passages and maintaining consistent sail-handling procedures.
