Cosa tratta questo video
A 38-ft sailboat, *keel dragger*, transits from La Cruz de Juanacaxtle to Mazatlán, Mexico, covering 172 nautical miles at an average speed of 5.1 knots.21:51 The crew navigates between the Tres Marietas Islands and the mainland coast to avoid northerly winds and short-period chop.5:19 During the passage, the engine experiences a mysterious shutdown, which the owner attributes to a potential clog in the fuel pickup tube despite recently replaced primary and secondary fuel filters.16:22 Upon arrival at Mazatlán, the crew anchors in the old harbor before timing their entry into Marina Mazatlan with high tide to clear a shallow, frequently dredged bar.21:59 The vessel maintains a 6-to-10-mile offshore distance to stay within Starlink range while monitoring weather windows for a future crossing of the Sea of Cortez.8:23 The crew confirms that local knowledge or detailed chart sources are essential when navigating the shoals and rocks near Punta Mita and the Mazatlán harbor entrance.3:52
