Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Aaron and Allie, sailing their boat Spy, departed La Paz, Mexico, for the anchorage between Espiritu Santo and Partida to shelter from forecasted westerly winds.3:30 During the transit, the crew noted significant speed loss caused by heavy barnacle growth on the hull, prompting a plan to clean the bottom.3:52 The anti-fouling paint applied in Washington failed to prevent growth in the warm Mexican waters, requiring the crew to use brushes and hand scrapers to remove the accumulation.6:40 While anchored, the crew attempted to supplement their food stores by spearfishing and trolling with friends aboard the vessel Red Aviva.7:32 After initial failures, Aaron successfully speared three fish—two gray bar grunts and one Cortez chub—which the group prepared as tacos.14:47 The crew also hosted a brief visit from a friend sailing a junk-rigged Wharram catamaran toward Guaymas for a haul-out.9:30 Regular hull maintenance and effective bottom paint are essential for maintaining boat speed in warm, fouling-prone waters.
