[Ep 53] San Francisquito Was Perfect… Until Our Inverter Failed
In this episode we pick up where we left off in San Francisquito, also known as “The Slot”.
After exploring more of this remote Baja anchorage, including abandoned buildings and a close encounter with a not-so-friendly bull, we settled into life at anchor on Cosmo and give you a little “day in the life of…”
With calm weather and nowhere to be, we spent the day working through a few small projects on the boat and enjoying one of the most beautiful white sand beaches we’ve found in the Sea of Cortez.
But boat life has a way of changing plans quickly.
What started as a simple day turned into hours of troubleshooting when our inverter suddenly stopped working, sending Armand deep into the engine bay chasing down the problem.
After working through multiple possible causes, we finally uncovered the issue… and it’s something that could have caused much bigger problems if left unchecked.

If anyone says living on a boat is a vacation, they’re lying or they’ve never lived on a boat 😂😂
Don’t get us wrong, we love living on Cosmo but it’s definitely not all sunshine, rainbows and pina coladas on deck. More often it’s chasing down sources of leaks, basic errands taking 4 times as long, figuring out how to fix something, sweaty humid cabins, and constantly checking weather forecasts ...
