Cosa tratta questo video
Ivo and Dajana aboard Silkap anchor at Isla del Carmen in Baja California, Sea of Cortez, and explore the island's abandoned salt works — once the largest salt operation in the world at 32 km long and 13.5 km wide, UNESCO-listed in 2005, and shut down in 1984.5:08 The ghost town retains workers' housing, a school, workshops, fuel tanks, and a church still used twice yearly for processions by former residents.5:18 A 121-foot salt-transport vessel sits just below the surface in the bay, sunk when overloaded with equipment during the final closure; it now shelters dense fish populations.7:11 A forecast 40-knot blow pins several boats in the anchorage for three days; Silkap rides it out anchored in 5 meters over sand.6:13 Separately, a solar oven cake overflows into a low-pressure tube, which Ivo patches with epoxy putty while waiting for a replacement part, keeping the watermaker functional.8:46 Earlier in the stay, the crew spent two weeks at Bahía Concepción with three American couples, including a hike to a summit overlooking the bay and a final campfire on a deserted beach.Watch
