What this video covers
Sea Dream of Clyde completed a 70-mile overnight passage from San Carlos to the Baja Peninsula, encountering 20-to-25-knot winds that required a double-reefed mainsail and a partially furled genoa.0:41 The crew utilized a Hydrovane self-steering system for the 11.5-hour crossing, arriving at the anchorage in Punta Schiavato at 5 a.m. Following the passage, the crew performed routine maintenance, including cleaning salt from the boat’s exterior and replacing an outdated CD player with a $25 Bluetooth-enabled stereo unit using proper butt connectors and ratcheting crimpers.10:31 They also explored the abandoned Posada de las Flores resort near the anchorage and harvested shells at a nearby beach.5:22 After a short coastal hop to Punta Domingo, the crew confirmed the ease of sailing off the anchor in shallow, open bights.15:39 Proper electrical connections, such as using crimped butt connectors rather than twisted wires, are essential for boat safety and survey compliance.11:04
