WE ALMOST BEACHED A NORDHAVN! ‼️ A Simple Mistake Causes Chaos ⚠️
They call it "The Crowned One," but Isla Coronado has some hidden teeth! This week, we pull up the anchor and head to one of the most stunning anchorages in the Sea of Cortez.
But we got ourselves into some 'hot' water as we headed to shore at 5 knots, unable to stop. We share how we got into, and out of, this frightening situation.
We also get to see whales, dolphins and amazing sunsets as we explore the Sea of Cortez!
In this episode:
Channel Navigation: Pat breaks down the strategy for the Sea of Cortez
Tech Talk: How we use Predict Wind and No Foreign Land to scout anchorages before we arrive.
Drone Views: Stunning aerials of the turquoise "aquarium" surrounding the Sea.
Wildlife Encounters: Whales, dolphins, and the resident rays of the Sea of Cortez.
If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to steer a house through stunning waters, this is the episode for you!
