Sailboat glides past Cabo Rojo lighthouse on calm sea.
O que este vídeo aborda
Sailing south along Puerto Rico's west coast from Boqueron, Alex, Cory, and their crew navigate 20–24 miles to Bahia Fosforescente, then onward to Ponce and Coffin Island over three days of mixed conditions.0:17 After a rough overnight anchorage at Boqueron with 30–35-knot northerly winds, the passage to the phosphorescent bay runs past Cabo Rojo lighthouse in light air with large swells.2:11 The bioluminescence at Bahia Fosforescente disappoints — the crew attributes the weak display to moon phase and recent rain, noting Luperon was far more impressive.6:32 At Ponce, a wide-open anchorage produces a persistent roll; the crew dinghy up a river to reach Walmart and Sam's Club, getting swamped by breaking waves on a sandbar in the process.9:09 The resupply totals roughly $1,600 across both stores — the first full provision since the U.S. over a year prior.13:23 A hike on Coffin Island toward a lighthouse fails when the trail dead-ends in dense cactus.20:55 Coffin Island's anchorage offers clear, calm water with good visibility to the bottom, described as Bahamas-like.18:38 The three fails — poor bioluminescence, a swamped dinghy approach, and the aborted lighthouse hike — confirm that moon phase and local conditions can undercut even well-planned stops.
