On this week's episode of Onboard Lifestyle the crew takes another poke at the beast and successfully rounds Cabo Corrientes. Our second attempt was much smoother even though we snapped a few sail battens while doing it. Teal catches a nice fish on the approach to Paradise Village Marina and Linh and Emma are excited to wash the boat after 2 months and 3 days at anchor. Our spirits are high as we look forward to Projects, Travel, and adventures during our stay. Come back next week to see what we are up to...see you then!

on our previous episode of onboard
0:32
lifestyle
0:33
basics sets her hook and beat you to
0:35
mela and the crew enjoys the seaside
0:37
town of perula while waiting for a
0:38
weather window to open up to round cabo
0:40
coriantes
0:42
basic sails north with nearly a dozen
0:44
boats that all experience building seas
0:46
as we approach the cape
0:48
we anchor an impala with the entire
0:50
fleet to wait for the seas to lay down a
0:52
bit so that we can round cabo coriantes
0:55
and that's where we will continue our
0:56
story
0:58
[Music]
0:59
[Applause]
1:00
[Music]
1:11
days to come and carry us like wind in
1:14
our sails
1:35
so we are heading out again
1:37
one last time to go around cake cabo
1:40
corientes we'll make it today we will
1:42
make it today we had to stay in impala
1:45
for the night along with 11 other boats
1:52
because it was uh it got really lumpy uh
1:55
the weather predicted for uh the seas
1:58
starting to flatten out and it it didn't
2:00
actually it grew
2:01
and there were times we had reports from
2:03
some of the other cruisers that it was
2:06
um they were seeing 15 to 20 foot swells
2:10
and it was supposed to be three footers
2:12
is that what you said
2:15
it was definitely not three footers and
2:17
i didn't see it maybe
2:19
i thought that they were about 10 to
2:21
15's maybe i liked it but you always do
2:24
but the crew did not like it too much
2:26
people
2:27
anyways
2:29
we were wanting to leave actually
2:31
uh about midnight uh last night
2:34
because that's the
2:36
that's the best condition
2:38
but
2:40
there are
2:41
pots fishing pots all around us so we
2:44
have to be able to sight them
2:47
and
2:49
yeah uh make sure that we're doing good
2:53
and always is a little stressful
2:56
leaving uh
2:58
an anchorage where there are
3:01
crab pots or fishing pots or nets
3:04
everywhere
3:05
so teal's always on edge about that
3:08
we've wrapped a few times
3:11
unexpectedly and these little markers
3:13
are so tiny they're literally using like
3:16
coke bottles and just like one just a
3:18
little tiny thing just above the surface
3:20
and a lot of times it bobs under water
3:23
and then
3:24
before you know it it pops back up and
3:26
you're in trouble
3:31
but i think that we had the right idea
3:33
of coming in here
3:35
i liked it yeah
3:36
this is
3:38
i mean it's a little tiny fishing
3:39
village and they really don't recommend
3:41
that you uh anchor in here but
3:43
it's a nice little safe harbor when
3:47
the weather gets a little nasty
3:50
but i'm
3:51
really ready to
3:53
get back to civilization and we are way
3:57
behind on some of our projects so it's
4:00
time to get serious and
4:02
get this boat back into ship shape
4:07
with the starboard engine down due to a
4:09
wet exhaust leak basic limped out of the
4:11
crowded anchorage
4:12
we weren't alone our 11 neighbors for
4:15
the night also had the same idea
4:17
get out early and push towards the cape
4:19
before conditions pipe up like the
4:21
previous day
4:23
we had light offshore air and with us at
4:25
half power the eager fleet pulled away
4:28
quickly
4:30
we have been around cable coriantes many
4:32
times so we expected the winds to
4:34
stiffen on our approach
4:36
and they did
4:38
we're rounding
4:39
cabo coriantes
4:42
got about 15 to 20.
4:45
we're close hauled
4:48
and we're making about seven knots
4:51
tapes off here
4:53
we're getting all this influence of all
4:55
of bandera's bay kind of wraps around
4:57
right here i can see white caps this way
4:59
it's settled this way so
5:02
we're just gonna
5:04
hold this heading for another
5:07
about 15 minutes
5:09
and then do one tack all the way in
5:15
everything's running pretty smooth
5:16
though got our
5:17
fishing line out
5:19
trying to catch something actually it's
5:21
our hand line today getting tired of
5:22
snapping our poles and
5:26
we caught something yesterday nothing
5:28
good enough we'll try again today
5:31
nothing like
5:33
fixing something while you're
5:36
underway as a
5:38
different element
5:41
we uh
5:43
broke two batons
5:46
but nothing we can't fix
5:49
except now we had to drop the sail i
5:51
know
5:52
it's just it was a little uh lumpy this
5:54
morning and things were flopping around
5:56
and
5:58
i think that's what did it in a couple
6:00
of quick bursts of wind and
6:02
snapped the
6:04
he didn't snap the bat and snap the
6:05
connectors
6:09
i think it's just a
6:10
maybe an inferior piece of metal it just
6:13
gave way
6:15
same spot
6:16
on both that
6:17
well i already contacted precision
6:21
and they've responded immediately yeah
6:23
let them know because this is a
6:25
it's an
6:26
easy fix i'm sure it's just getting a
6:29
little bit stronger connector in there
6:32
i need to get some tools though
6:40
so how are we going to do a quick fix
6:43
well first i got to get that little
6:44
piece out of there
6:48
i think it should come right out though
6:54
just like that
6:56
so that's why it's failing there's a
6:58
allen
7:00
uh set right on the end of this and
7:02
that's a weak point yeah and it just
7:04
snapped it off
7:07
on both of them
7:11
yep
7:20
does that mean we can't hoist the main
7:21
tonight no we
7:23
i'll have this fixed in
7:25
20 minutes this will be just a
7:27
mandate though yeah i definitely need to
7:30
get better uh hardware on here
7:32
but yeah no i'll fix it
7:35
there's enough of these left
7:37
i'll just have to split the difference
7:39
put some teflon tape on there
7:44
and then uh get them back in can't use
7:46
loctite because we can never get this
7:48
stuff out i know no and it has to come
7:50
out
7:52
plus i don't want to leave that red
7:53
stuff all over our sails of course not
7:58
man
7:59
this sucks
8:06
battens are all put back together
8:09
i don't feel entirely confident but i
8:11
think they'll get us in the port what
8:13
did you do
8:15
i took the remnants of the bolts
8:18
reshaped them
8:19
thread them back in so there's a little
8:22
bit less meat on them but they seem to
8:24
be holding and you put a little
8:26
anti-friction tape kind of deal
8:29
uh i did just keep them from backing out
8:32
i don't want them wiggling in there
8:34
we'll see how they do let's put them in
8:38
[Music]
8:38
[Laughter]
8:41
[Music]
8:59
i got the rod and you get that ready
9:03
i got the rod you get the sail
9:18
hang on
9:28
pull the sail out yeah perfect no more
9:33
right there pull the sail out more
9:44
it's always fun in six foot seas here
9:49
you're doing good
9:51
just hang on
9:54
okay i'll come around
9:57
you got it i got it
10:15
uh
10:22
i felt like i was getting beat up out
10:24
there
10:25
you were
10:27
okay i need to drop it now and we'll
10:29
face the wind and raise ourselves got it
10:31
[Music]
10:39
as we entered banderas bay the cape's
10:41
influence diminished as the seas
10:42
flattened and the winds decreased
10:45
we decided to kick on our port engine to
10:47
motor sail the last leg across this 30
10:50
nautical mile bay
10:52
we did this to hold a 5 to 6 knot speed
10:55
this was for twofold
10:57
we are anxious to get to our destination
10:59
but more importantly to maintain a solid
11:02
speed to catch a fish
11:04
and it paid off
11:08
well teal has redeemed himself
11:12
but he did make it look like a murder
11:14
scene it
11:16
kind of was there was so much
11:20
fighting going on
11:22
the poor guy
11:25
well he's giving us food so that's good
11:29
gotta give thanks
11:33
and clean up all that
11:36
mess
11:38
battle wounds
11:40
of course emma's here nervous because
11:46
i almost went overboard
11:49
trying to gaff the darn thing
11:51
yeah it's a different on a hand line i'm
11:53
not used to it yet i need to practice
11:55
more
11:56
well that and
11:58
i just don't like a lot of blood on
11:59
board
12:02
i think this might be mine
12:13
there's teal and emma getting all the
12:15
fenders
12:17
and all the lines
12:19
ready
12:20
to be tossed over to our friends who are
12:22

full months of being at anchor and
13:18
exploring all these different little
13:19
anchorages which we have loved
