Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Navigating the Northern Sea of Cortez requires prioritizing tidal flow over wind forecasts, as islands create steep, short-period waves in narrow channels.3:11 Cruisers rely on a combination of cruising guides, chart plotters, and visual navigation, as digital charts for the region often contain inaccuracies due to shifting coastlines and storm-driven erosion.4:45 During a transit to Pescador, the crew of the sailboat *Red Aviva* experienced a total alternator failure.9:24 After a failed "plug and play" replacement attempt—which required modifying the alternator bracket and swapping pulleys—the crew discovered the charging system’s automatic battery combiner was faulty.11:51 They bypassed the automated "brain" and installed a manual Perko switch to manage power distribution between the starter and house battery banks.13:11 The crew successfully reached the Bay of LA, where they planned to wait for seasonal north winds to facilitate a southward passage.2:06
