What this video covers
The crew of the home-built boat *Red Aviva* transits four miles from a gusty anchorage to Candelero, a cove on the island of Espiritu Santo in the Sea of Cortez.1:17 Because the wind remains fluky and light near the shore, the crew motors the short distance rather than sailing.3:02 Upon arrival, they anchor in 15 to 16 feet of water with 90 feet of chain deployed.5:46 The crew performs routine maintenance on the outboard motor, topping off the oil before heading to the beach.6:01 They explore a gorge featuring a dry waterfall and a rare grove of trees, noting the stark contrast to the island's typical arid, rocky landscape.10:40 The visit includes social time with another boat, *Spy*, and swimming practice in the bay.12:21 The crew identifies Candelero as a favorite anchorage due to its unique terrain and hiking opportunities.19:17
