Salt & Tar: Ep.229- Bahia Tortugas

Our longest leg to date onboard Rediviva. Two days to get to Turtle Bay from San Quintin and we were able to sail a decent chunk of it! We had a great weather window and needing to time the passage of Canal de Dewey during daylight to see fishing pots meant we could chill at 3 knots around Isla Cedros. It was a needed change in events to boost our spirits. Garrett never did get much sleep underway but we had some good restful nights once we made it into port. I’m pretty sure I died a little on deck after we set the hook and before lowering the dinghy and I got some sleep! It was a great test of our team work and fortitude. I’m excited to do more overnight passages…just maybe after some real rest. Leaving San Quintin the way we did, at an emotional low, wasn’t the best start to a long trip but we got through it. We did satisfy some cravings after getting into Turtle Bay and were stoked to hang out with fellow cruisers. It really helps you forget the stress of a challenge and prepare you to do it again!

Thanks for watching!

—Some of you might recognize former crew of Delos, Brady and Blue, now Captain and First Mate of Lintika and owners of Cruiser’s Academy. What a surprise to meet people that have inspired us to share and unknowingly gave us encouragement in the roughest of the building process of Rediviva. A reminder once sailing again life is going to be SO good and here we are living it. —
