Cosa tratta questo video
Sea Dream of Clyde, a cruising sailboat, transits the Baja California coast from San Benito to Bahia Ascension, navigating poorly charted waters and significant swell.0:31 During the 20-mile passage to a cove near Cedros Island, the crew relies on user-contributed soundings on Navionics to avoid uncharted reefs.4:21 A tear in the mainsail requires an interim repair using adhesive tape and a sewn-on patch.5:52 While anchored, the crew utilizes homemade flopper stoppers to mitigate rolling from the swell.6:50 The subsequent 40-mile leg to Bahia Tortuga involves downwind sailing in 4- to 5-foot seas, with the crew monitoring for lobster pots in shallow water.8:10 Upon arrival, the crew notes the importance of giving wide berths to points after a previous incident where a vessel grounded on a well-charted reef.11:21 The final 50-mile stretch to Bahia Ascension features consistent winds and improved solar charging as the boat maintains a beam reach.14:37
