Hva denne videoen dekker

The crew of Into the Mystic completed a 94-mile passage from San Juanico to Bahia Santa Maria, followed by a short transit to Bahia Magdalena, Baja California.▶ 12:08 During the 14-hour motor to Bahia Santa Maria, the Yanmar engine burned 1.14 gallons per hour at 2200 RPM, a figure higher than the manufacturer’s 0.885 gph estimate, which the crew attributes to the load of a high-output Balmar alternator.▶ 14:44 Navigating the entrance to Bahia Magdalena required timing the transit for slack tide to avoid treacherous currents and shallow water, while maintaining a lookout for unmarked crab pots.▶ 17:05 Upon arrival, the crew coordinated with the vessel SV Suigei to hire a local panga for transport to San Carlos, where they refueled using jerry cans to avoid navigating the complex, shallow mangrove channels in their own dinghy.▶ 20:47 The crew utilized PredictWind to plan their subsequent departure for Cabo San Lucas.▶ 23:20 Monitoring engine fuel consumption and timing bay entries for slack tide are essential for safe coastal cruising in Baja.
