On this week's of Onboard Lifestyle, we leave the beautiful Tenacatita to explore Barra de Navidad. After dropping anchor in the Lagoon, Teal goes out to assist not one but THREE vessels that ran aground in the narrow channel of Barra. We heard there was a shipwreck from 2015 so we set off to see what remains of her. Linh develops a new crush and it involves quite a bit of butter. Come back next week to see another awesome new video...see you then!

on the last episode of onboard lifestyle
0:33
we settled into life in bahia teneketa
0:36
i had so much fun playing my violin at
0:38
the mayor's wrapped up talent show
0:46
the crew took the dinghy across the bay
0:48
to re-provision in la manzania today was
0:51
a good day
0:54
we celebrate chinese new year on board
0:56
basic with a few friends and of course
0:58
the menu was delicious and the crew gets
1:01
an invite to dance into the night on
1:03
kaori that gets you caught up so let's
1:05
start things there
1:09
[Music]
1:23
i
1:26
[Music]
1:48
most people when they leave or come into
1:50
tankita head around the rock
1:54
some people actually cut through
1:57
between the point
2:00
and the rock like this guy right here
2:03
there's known obstructions
2:06
all the way through here
2:08
and uh i've seen them by dinghy other
2:10
people seen them they're documented but
2:12
uh if you have the experience and you
2:15
feel confident enough a lot of people
2:16
will cut right through not me
2:21
right why risk it the rock's right there
2:23
we're just going around
2:33
[Music]
2:47
to make sure
2:49
[Music]
2:59
well we're
3:00
about halfway from tanakatita
3:04
we're going to be anchoring in the
3:06
lagoon
3:07
now the lagoon's uh
3:09
notorious for being a
3:11
somewhat questionable entrance
3:14
it's not well documented there's no
3:16
buoys that mark the channel
3:18
and you just kind of go off
3:21
hearsay
3:22
guidebooks
3:23
there's a little bit on
3:25
some of the navionics charts but not
3:27
much detail
3:28
so we'll we're going to time it for high
3:30
tide and just ease our way in
3:33
it's got a nice little breeze right now
3:36
a couple miles to go we should be
3:38
hitting the entrance here in about an
3:39
hour
3:40
let's tuck
3:42
right in here
3:56
getting close to the lagoon
3:59
all this jungle debris is washing out
4:10
the entrance to the bar lagoon is easy
4:12
to navigate with red and green channel
4:14
markers that guide you through the break
4:16
water to the marina in a dredged and
4:18
well maintained channel
4:20
as you pass the grand bay resort to your
4:22
starboard you immediately feel like you
4:24
have arrived at a tropical oasis
4:27
next you see is the marina puerto de la
4:30
navidad
4:31
which has 200 slips that can accommodate
4:34
vessels upwards of 200 feet and share
4:36
the resort's luxurious amenities
4:40
as you continue past the marina to the
4:42
lagoon anchorage you must be cautious
4:44
and proceed slowly
4:46
there is a narrow unmarked channel that
4:49
leads to the anchorage that if you
4:50
wander to either side will shallow
4:52
quickly and ground your vessel in its
4:54
sandy muddy bottom
4:56
once in the anchorage there are no
4:58
marked boundaries and you must drop your
5:00
anchor in 7 to 12 feet of depth in a
5:03
natural pocket located in the center of
5:05
the lagoon
5:06
at low tide it is very obvious where not
5:09
to anchor as the majority of the lagoon
5:11
is less than five feet deep
5:14
yeah like this
5:16
i think we're gonna have fun here don't
5:18
you think
5:21
why not i mean look at this all new view
5:23
for a couple days
5:27
till just
5:28
left
5:32
and he is headed over to see if he can
5:34
assist one of our friends
5:36
is heading in
5:41
and this lagoon system is great but it
5:44
is extremely shallow especially at low
5:46
tide
5:47
so you really have to pay attention
5:51
[Applause]
5:54
if you are not paying attention for a
5:56
second um you can run around very easily
6:04
actually already two boats this morning
6:06
has already run aground so
6:08
you just got to keep your eyes peeled
6:13
yeah he's turning back there
6:18
luckily also uh if they did run aground
6:21
this is very nice soft mud uh and sand
6:25
so uh not
6:27
most likely you won't have any damage at
6:29
all so
6:48
either you wait for a high tide or a ho
6:51
somebody can pull you off with their
6:53
dinghy or a ponga if if needed but i'm
6:56
pretty sure this just happens so if
6:59
anything they are able to be backed off
7:02
very easily
7:18
how bad was it
7:20
probably won't it wasn't bad right well
7:22
it's not bad it's you know outside of
7:24
that little channel it's five feet deep
7:26
i know and there's no markers so they
7:28
just wandered off onto the edge i know
7:30
it's there's waypoints but you gotta
7:32
like pay attention and you can't even
7:34
look away for like a second and uh yeah
7:36
they just kind of wandered to the edge
7:38
it was easy we had five dinghies there
7:39
we just pushed him right to the center
7:41
of the channel and he was free isn't our
7:43
community awesome it is
7:46
not too bad
7:48
it's always fun entering the marina
7:50
it's always fun to
7:52
you know
7:53
a little excitement i like it um you got
7:56

13:41
co-captain
13:43
to check us in but it was really sweet
13:46
this the entire port captain's office uh

38 000 ton freighter that was
14:26
shipwrecked
14:27
in uh october 23rd of 2015.
14:31
what happened was it was sitting in
14:34
manzanilla and it was ordered to leave
14:36
manzanillo because of this yeah
14:38
hurricane patricia was coming in and the
14:41
captain
14:42
uh waited 10 hours
14:46
and went the wrong way instead of going
14:48
south he went north
14:50
and they hit
14:52
30 foot seas
14:54
and
14:55
horrendous category 5 uh conditions and
14:59
ran this freighter right up on shore so
15:02
it's been there for what seven years now
15:04
it's starting to decay and rust away but
15:07
we're gonna go check it out we're gonna
15:08
go look guys
15:10
yeah i'll be fine it's big enough that
15:12

15:15
enter it in a couple spots i don't know
15:18
that's what people have said i've never
15:20
