What this video covers

The crew of *Into the Mystic* took their 38-foot sailboat out for a day trip off the coast of San Diego despite weather forecasts predicting no wind.▶ 1:55 With guests Rob and Kelly aboard, the crew motored in glassy conditions at speeds of one to three knots, briefly attempting to fly a spinnaker that failed to fill.▶ 4:45 The calm water allowed the crew to observe approximately 20 schools of sunfish near the surface.▶ 11:27 During the return trip, the crew attempted to fish, briefly hooking a large object they initially mistook for a shark before losing it.▶ 9:24 The outing served as a final excursion for the third season of the channel, as the owners prepare for a transition to full-time liveaboard status.▶ 12:20 Upcoming vessel upgrades include a custom stainless steel solar arch, a swim step, a lithium battery bank, and a water maker integrated with a Victron energy system.▶ 13:29 The crew intends to depart for southern destinations by October 1.▶ 14:43
