[Ep 68] This Was Supposed to Be an Overnight Stop | Alcatraz Cove in Bahia de los Angeles
📍 Alcatraz Cove, Baja California Mexico🌊 Sea of Cortez, Mexico
The Last Voyage of SV Karuna: https://www.facebook.com/chris.ogg.31/posts/pfbid0df1uH2hyev5k29MAtCuXZ2uePgH4j2Kag2r4s1iPQQgyXC6Fu44X8qQPjW9c2jMAl
After arriving unexpectedly, we discovered crystal-clear water, incredible snorkeling, surprisingly good spearfishing, and a beautiful stretch of beach that Pinot quickly claimed as his own. With coyote tracks in the sand and not another soul around, it felt like we'd stumbled onto a hidden corner of the Sea of Cortez.
While exploring the shoreline, we hike the beach, collect a few treasures (and a little trash) for future projects aboard Cosmo, tackle some boat maintenance, and give an update on how our Coppercoat bottom paint is holding up after thousands of miles of cruising.
We also share a simple DIY snorkel mask repair that saved a perfectly good piece of gear from ending up in the trash.
What started as a stopover became one of those places that kept giving us reasons to stay just one more day.

SmoCo Sailing
We're Armand, Liya, and our doodle Pinot. In July 2024, we sailed off from Monterey, California aboard our sailboat Cosmo and began the biggest adventure of our lives. Since then, we've been sailing Mexico and beyond, sharing the real highs and lows of full-time cruising. From remote anchorages and incredible wildlife encounters to boat projects, spearfishing, weather, and everything that breaks in between. Our goal is simple: explore beautiful places, live life on our own terms, and share the journey honestly. So grab a drink, pull up a seat in the cockpit, and come sailing with us.
