The crew of the 38-ft sailboat Adventure Can't Wait attempts to fly a symmetrical spinnaker for the first time while sailing downwind in the Sea of Cortez.0:05 They use parallel beads wrapped around the furled headsail to level the spinnaker, achieving speeds of 5.5 knots in light 5-to-10-knot winds.4:03 After the wind increases to 15 knots, the crew struggles to douse the sail, eventually succeeding after blowing the clew.6:01 Seeking a new anchorage, they navigate to Los Pilares in Bahia Concepcion, a site identified via satellite imagery and confirmed in the *Charlie's Charts* cruising guide.9:57 Upon arrival, they anchor in 15 feet of water over sand.18:56 Despite initial protection, a 3-to-4-foot swell develops overnight, causing significant rolling that prevents the crew from launching their dinghy to explore a nearby abandoned mine.23:31 They decide to depart the anchorage the following morning to find calmer conditions.23:50 Learning to manage a spinnaker requires practice in varying wind conditions to ensure safe deployment and recovery.
