What this video covers

Anchoring in 25-knot gusts requires sufficient scope and a well-set anchor to prevent dragging, especially in areas with seagrass.1:17 When wind shifts occur, cruisers should monitor their position and their neighbors' boats, as dragging is common even with quality gear.1:04 In San Juanico, Mexico, the crew of *Adventure Can't Wait* manages halyard slap by adjusting lines at the mast and performs hull maintenance using green Scotch-Brite pads to remove growth from the boot stripe.3:37 The vessel uses Micron 66 bottom paint, which has shown peeling and bubbling after two years of service in the Sea of Cortez.5:49 Beyond maintenance, the crew explores local grottoes and rock formations by dinghy and paddleboard.9:37 When preparing for a passage, they monitor weather windows for light wind conditions, planning to utilize 10-to-15-knot south winds for a 50-mile northward transit.4:21
