Sam and Jessica depart La Paz, Mexico, aboard their sailboat, Adventure Can't Wait, attempting a 42.5-mile passage north to Salinas on Isla San Jose.9:06 The crew faces light, swirling winds while exiting the bay, requiring nine tacks to clear the area.6:03 Once offshore, they encounter 10-to-15-knot winds and a residual 5-to-7-foot swell, which eventually subsides to 3-to-5 feet.6:51 During the upwind transit, a wave strikes the deck, bending a paddleboard holder and nearly dislodging the boards.8:26 The crew heaves to for the first time to deflate and stow the gear safely inside the cabin.8:36 The 11.5-hour trip averages 3.7 knots, complicated by the crew's failure to secure deck gear for offshore conditions.10:51 The experience highlights the necessity of preparing the boat for sea, even on short coastal hops, and the importance of stowing deck-mounted equipment before encountering swell.
