Flipping The Dinghy And Tshirt Sailing Home | Vlog# 33

Vlog #33
While in La Cruz de huanacaxtle we didnt to take a long ride in the dinghy to some uninhabited beaches. the surf was massive and crashing hard onto the beach.
I told trav is was a terrible idea but we decided to go in anyway.
Landing on the beach was pretty sketchy but we made it.
When we looked back out at the water i knew itd be a nightmare getting back out.
and ohhhhhh boy, was it ever.
we chilled for the day exploring around, swimming and crab hunting and watching the waves hoping they would die down.
They didnt at all!
We had to get going to we just had to try and attempt it.
We almost made it out, we were just passing the break, and i jumped in. a second wave flew it and tipped the boat basically perfectly upright in the air which shut the engine off so we couldnt get over the wave. Trav screamed at me to jump out of the boat and swim away.
i dove out and swam as fast as i could while the entire dinghy flipped upside down.
it sent all of our belongings flying all over.
We flipped the dinghy back the right way anf drug it back up the beach and began scouribg through the water trying to find all of our stuff that went everywhere.
Thankfully we brought the drone in a waterproof bag and i had clipped it to the engine as i was anticipating this gracious exit.
We found most of our stuff but i lost my shirt, and our dinghy anchor.
Now that the engine was swamped it would no longer work so we had to comw up with a new plan to get out of there. Swam it out as far as we could by hand and than trav paddled as fast as he could over thw breaks leaving me behind and telling me to ” just swim and catch up”
as he was doing thid he broke one of the paddles and had to try an finish with one.
hahaha
we finally made it out and put up travs tshirt on the oars and sailed all the way back cause we were too lazy to paddle.
