What this video covers
A 500-nautical-mile passage from Chiapas to Acapulco, Mexico, requires four days of travel for the sailboat Bohemia and the companion vessel Martini.▶ 0:01 The crew maintains an average speed of 120 miles per day, relying heavily on the engine due to light winds, though they occasionally utilize afternoon thermal winds to sail.▶ 1:04 During the transit, the Mexican Navy intercepts the vessels twice for routine inspections, including one encounter with a patrol boat that did not appear on AIS.▶ 13:24 The crew manages significant mosquito infestations originating from the Chiapas marina and experiences high-volume fishing activity, catching eight bonitos and one sierra.▶ 15:10 They release the bonitos due to difficulty in preparation but successfully prepare the sierra for dinner.▶ 18:04 To extend their range, the crew transfers fuel from jerry cans to the main tank to compensate for the high engine usage.▶ 22:09 The passage concludes with a safe arrival in Acapulco, where the vessels anchor overnight.▶ 23:57
