Hva denne videoen dekker
A 180-mile passage from San Quentin to Bahia Tortugas, Mexico, turns into a three-day ordeal for the crew of the sailboat Cosmo after the jib halyard snaps twice in 12 hours.▶ 4:37 The first failure occurs in light wind, and the second happens while motoring, causing the entire jib to fall into the water.▶ 4:06 With only one functional halyard remaining, the crew decides to sail downwind under mainsail only to avoid further rigging damage.▶ 4:40 They encounter 20-knot winds and heavy seas near Cedros Island, forcing them to drop the main and motor the final stretch.▶ 8:28 The crew arrives at Bahia Tortugas at 4 a.m. on Thanksgiving, exhausted and without a working jib.▶ 12:18 They plan to contact a rigger to investigate potential issues with the top of the jib furling mechanism, which was recently serviced.▶ 14:31 The stop at Bahia Tortugas provides a remote anchorage for repairs and provisioning, though the village offers limited supplies compared to larger ports like Ensenada or La Paz.▶ 15:50
