We’re sailing offshore off of Mexico’s western coast, headed North towards the mouth of the Sea of Cortez along with our buddy boat Sv OneLife in lovely downwind conditions, moving along in 10 knots of breeze. It’s day one of our 450 mile passage when our engine suddenly stops.
We’re now over 30 miles offshore of the coast dead in the water, with very little breeze. First Bill did a quick racor swap to see if that solved the issue. Unfortunately that didn’t solve the issue so we undertake a full filter change at sea. Hopefully that will solve the issue…!
The passage continues and we are greeted by dolphins on the bow. The wind fills in slightly and we raise our asymmetric. Unfortunately after 1000’s of miles our trusty spinnaker fails, with one of the panels ripping.
