Ce que couvre cette vidéo
A Nauticat 43 sailing from Ensenada to La Paz, Mexico, encounters recurring fuel and water system failures during a 1,400-mile passage down the Baja California peninsula. The crew discovers heavy algae buildup and a sheared fuel pickup tube, forcing them to manually pump 80 gallons of fuel into the starboard tank using a bicycle pump.0:39 Later, a compromised forward water tank loses suction, requiring the crew to transfer water to the aft tank using an external pump to maintain supply.17:53 The transit involves navigating through dense fields of lobster traps and crab pots, particularly near Mag Bay.5:03 After finding the Cabo San Lucas marina overcrowded and inaccessible for fuel, the crew bypasses the port to anchor at Bahia de los Muertos before completing the final nine-hour leg to La Paz.18:57 The passage highlights the necessity of managing mechanical repairs and provisioning while navigating tight weather windows during the transition from hurricane season to the winter northerlies.15:26
