Ce que couvre cette vidéo
A 262-nautical-mile passage from Bahia Tortuga to Bahia Santa Maria, Mexico, tests the crew of the sailboat Cosmo as they navigate 20-to-25-knot winds and confused seas.▶ 15:31 During the three-day transit, the crew experiences an accidental knockdown while sailing under a reefed jib, forcing them to manage overpowered conditions and unpredictable wave patterns at night.▶ 11:18 The owners struggle with fishing gear, losing multiple lures to unknown predators before a squid lands on deck, providing their only catch.▶ 10:29 To maintain progress, the crew relies on pre-prepared meals and logs their daily distance and speed, which fluctuates between 4 and 8 knots.▶ 14:37 After exhausting conditions, they motor the final five hours of the trip due to light winds before successfully anchoring in Bahia Santa Maria during daylight.▶ 15:13 The experience highlights the necessity of reefing early in shifting coastal winds and the challenges of maintaining a consistent schedule during multi-day offshore passages.
