What this video covers

Armand and Liya, sailing aboard their boat Cosmo, spent several weeks in the Sea of Cortez anchored at Bahía de los Ángeles and the nearby La Gringa anchorage. During a full moon, the crew joined a flotilla of cruisers at La Gringa, where tidal currents create a natural lagoon that functions as a temporary lazy river.0:50 The pair successfully trolled for skipjack tuna while underway and later encountered four to five whale sharks circling their vessel.5:26 After returning to the village of Bahía de los Ángeles, they resupplied at a local market, securing fresh produce including basil, sweet potatoes, and unrefrigerated eggs.11:09 The crew also engaged in a slow-speed sailing race against another vessel, SV10, while transiting between anchorages.9:30 Despite the summer heat, the pair plans to return to the region next year, noting that the area remains manageable for cruisers who adjust their project schedules to avoid the hottest parts of the day.13:18
