Sailboat Houdini glides at sunset, golden horizon behind.
O que este vídeo aborda
Aubrey departs Mexico aboard Houdini, a 31-ton vessel with no bow thruster, and fuels up at a cement dock edged with exposed rebar — a maneuver requiring Jordan's partner Shane to push the bow off using a 13-foot dinghy with a 30-horsepower outboard.▶ 4:07 The dinghy nearly got crushed between the dock and the hull.▶ 4:47 After $1,200 in fuel and a checkout with Mexican authorities in Chiapas — involving paperwork and a dog in boots — the crew begins a multi-day offshore transit toward Panama, skipping El Salvador intentionally due to political conditions and a treacherous sandbar entrance requiring a pilot boat.▶ 5:37 The autopilot fails for no identified reason, forcing 30 hours of hand steering.▶ 12:54 Crew member Savannah develops severe seasickness as seas build, threatening the plan to bypass El Salvador entirely.▶ 9:44 With the last available anchorage approaching and no legal port of entry in El Salvador, Aubrey faces a decision about sheltering in an unrecognized anchorage and risking a customs violation.▶ 15:42 Since leaving Mexico, multiple onboard systems have required field repairs without proper spares — a gap Aubrey identifies as a key preparation mistake.▶ 8:44
