TRANSDUCER FAIL?! TOTAL POWER LOSS?! ⚡ Circumnavigating Isla Carmen (Part 1)
We’re pulling up the anchor for a week-long adventure as we begin our circumnavigation of the historic Isla Carmen in the Sea of Cortez. This is part one of a two-part series where we explore the rugged coastline of this big island, stopping at breathtaking Baja anchorages along the way.
In this episode, we go ashore to explore a hauntingly beautiful salt mine ghost town, witness some of the most vibrant Sea of Cortez sunsets we’ve ever seen, and dive into some DIY boat repair as we troubleshoot a failing transducer. Just as we were settling into the rhythm of the circumnavigation, disaster struck. We ended our day with a complete power outage on the boat—no lights, no navigation, no power.
Join us on Noeta as we navigate the highs and lows of liveaboard cruising in remote Mexico. Can we find the source of the electrical failure before we’re left completely in the dark?
Stay tuned for Part 2 next week for the conclusion and the fix!
In This Episode:
Exploring Isla Carmen: The history and beauty of the abandoned salt mine ghost town.
Navigation & Electronics: Troubleshooting our Garmin transducer issues.
Anchorage Life: Finding the perfect spots for overnight stays in the Baja.
The Cliffhanger: A major electrical failure leaves us with a total power loss.
