O que este vídeo aborda
The crew of the 36-foot sailboat Rediviva navigates the San Jose Channel in the Sea of Cortez, timing their passage to coincide with a favorable tidal shift.0:27 Opposing wind and current in the channel create steep, closely spaced waves, prompting the crew to hand-steer rather than rely on their Hydrovane self-steering system, which struggles with the erratic currents near the islands.5:55 After motoring through a period of light air, the wind fills in as forecast, allowing the vessel to run dead downwind with full main and mizzen sails.9:20 The crew monitors engine coolant levels due to a suspected leak in an aluminum component.1:11 Upon reaching Agua Verde, they anchor in the North Cove to shelter from forecasted wind shifts, using a snubber to manage the load on their ground tackle.16:40 They barter Coca-Cola with local fishermen for fresh lobster and visit a small beach tienda for supplies.14:19 The vessel is ultimately bound for Porto Escondido for summer storage.8:27
