07 | Sailing the Sea of Cortez on a Wooden Boat, La Paz and Espiritu Santo
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 сер 2024
- We sailed around Cabo San Lucas and into the Sea of Cortez. There were some challenging upwind miles before reaching the cruising grounds around the lovely town of La Paz. For several weeks, we sailed the beautiful desert islands of Isla Espiritu Santo and Isla Partida. This part of the Gulf of California has rugged landscapes, ancient cactus groves, and rich wildlife.
Julia is an Atkin Designed Ingrid Ketch, built in 1960 in Desolation Sound. She is traditionally built of fir and cedar planking on a fir backbone and oak frames.

And still no drama... it's so refreshing to watch a sailing channal not complaining about the weather, shipping, motorboats and on top of that you seem to be sailing most of the time and not motoring arond. Thanks for BEEING A SAILING CHANNEL. Best regards from Jarle
their agenda is OTHERLY.
Thank you than you thank you for taking us along on your journey. The tempo with which you share the tale, the balance between narration, and just showing is with the camera, for me is up there with the best traditions of documentary film making. Julia, your incredible tender, the pre-trip engine checks. Sharing just enough yet still keeping enough myster about the magic of these places. Swims and hikes. So nice.
Congratulations for making it all the way down to La Paz in the Sea of Cortez🎉
Thank you, very kind!
A real sailing channel thanks, they are few and far. That area is amazing, my kind of place.
Excellent production. I've enjoyed all of your videos and look forward to more. Julia is a beautiful boat that looks incredible under sail.
I just thought the way she shoulders into weather looks as comfortable as a plastic boat on a beam reach, or running down wind. Julia seems to make the most uncomfortable point of sail to be a stroll in the park.
Hi nephew!
You made your old aunt sea sick!! You two stay safe and keep having fun.
I am so impressed every time you share an aerial shot of your finally built boat. All the work you have but into its build was inspiring.
Enjoy to the fullest what you two have created.
And thanks for letting us follow along.
Thank you so much for taking us along on your journey! I could watch your Ingrid sail forever! The prettiest yacht and the gentlest of motion. You really summed it up about La Paz. Unique. Beautiful place! Georgeous place that Sea of Cortez! Sail on!
What a great vid. Just discovered your channel and subscribed. So tired of SLV..Doodles..Zingaro..don't watch anymore..garbage..not sailing channels. Leo..S&T..Susi and Jules and now you..are true sailing channels. Thanks for keeping it real. Going to watch the rest of your vids...

👍Great Video.
This is a great channel wonderful photography, and really great editing.

Excellent video! We all would love to have a tour of the boat. I would also like to see your modern day sea fare. Presumably seafood?
Really enjoyed that!
All I ask for is more videos…. These are so so good 😊
I’m enjoying your videos thank you for sharing. I really enjoy the sailing videos with this old boat
Enjoying your route South as I work on mine at anchor near your starting point. Good encouragement seeing vessel in high condition taking in the sights I look forward to.
This channel has alot going for it. Great original boat with good humans. Great editing and narrating
Your sailboat is absolutely beautiful, any chance we could get a video tour? Also the quality of your videos are amazing!!!
Stunning location!
Glad to see yer enjoying Sea of Cortez…I’d heard it’s an Excellent Fishing Ground & Largely Unspoiled. Continue to Stay Safe & Enjoy😎
Is that the freaking wonder from Capt Ron. I swear it is
We would love to see how the interior of the sailboat turned out in detail, let's wait.
Thumbs up brother. Recently discovered your channel and live it. Keep up the good work and I will keep watching. Thanks
Truly beautiful coastline there..pleasant passage it was
Beautiful.
Thanks
That was a hell of a cactus‼️
In Baja those cacti are called “cardon “
I wish I could adventure like both of you! Your channel is very relaxing to view and truly informative! Thanks for sharing 😀 Live Slow!
Thanks for the great travel and sailing footage! Brings back memories of when we cruised there ~10 years ago.
First time watching , very nicely done 👍👍🇺🇸
This is awesome! Thnx for sharing!!
A most amazing enchanting and elemental sailing channel! You allow us to accompany you through your videos! Thanks!
Your narrative description is exquisite.
Hello from Port Townsend. Nice work on the video. High production value.
Looks and sounds like all is well. With the warm summer months, you'll be tempted to continue north for a while. We look forward to your next adventure... Steve & Sharon
偶然、この動画に出会いました。冒険心に満ちたヨット乗りの顔、息を呑むような風景、また絵になる船、感動しました。
I agree with Seth. As an old wood boat devotee a tour of the cabin would be welcome. Meals? Menus?? Watch schedule now that you have self-steering??? Your channel is Excelente! Thanks.
Definitely an overview of the drink menu is long overdue
You make a great documentary. I want to visit those islands
I don't think it was said what the total length of the sailboat is, weight, among others, we really liked the technical details
That wonderful little Perkins 4-108 will never let you down , just clean fuel & oil is all she needs .
I just discovered this channel..saludos from Des Moines marina 15 miles from Elliot Bay
Beautiful landscapes, perfectly shown ! Seems that you are navigating on the traces of Lin & Larry.
Just keep on sailing ...very good...excellent...🎉
wonderful, helps pass the snow bound winter here. thank you. Awesome you have worked hard to exercise your freedom this way.
Another great video. Thanks again :)
I'm loving your videos guys and the way you put them together.. do you have a boat tour video or something with more about the boat,I think she is beautiful and would love to learn more about it.keep up the great work.😁👍⚓⛵🇦🇺
Hi Guys … Pete here on Corinthian … we spoke at the Bellerive fuel dock … I actually had 0.2m under the keel not 1m .. cheers and nice meeting you both 😃👍
Hi Pete! Thanks for the info!
Hola, muy lindos los videos!!!
Groovy video
What a beatiful boat.
Can you tell what type of doubleender it is?
Are there any plans, drawings?
Any idea how old those saguaro cactus are considering they get their first branch at 50 75 years ! ?
I cruised based out of La Paz in 1994 for two weeks. It was beautiful there. Did you encounter any crime while tied off on moorings at night? We experienced locals that would drift with the tide and attempt to take anything they could reach on deck. We even got boarded once and fended off a guy trying to take our dingy.
I have watched most of your videos but have never see some good detail of the interior. It would be much appreciated if your could feature that.
Do you take hands for passage on board at any time? Could you suggest another wooden boat that I might approach for a opportunity to sail paid Crew/passage?
Great voyage and filming ! Are you using Royal Purple in your diesel , does it last any longer between changes ?
Iv been saving for 7 years and by the end of the year I will have over 100k but I’m so undecided on wether I want wooden or glass? I come from a family of carpenters and love wood and I understand it more then fiberglass but I hear that maintaining a wooden boat is much more expensive. would you go for the wooden after having one?
Wether
For me, it always has to be wood. But you have to determine what is best for you. Much depends on your preferences and the specific boat you choose. A wooden boat in good condition is not necessarily more maintenance than a glass boat, that is a common fallacy. But wooden boats tend to have more varnish, and that is high maintenance. Most upkeep is to the systems which are the same either way. I do all my own work so that is not a high cost, but if you hire out everything you may have trouble getting experienced wooden boat builders in much of the world. If you buy wood, look for copper fastenings and get a boat in good condition especially the deck. Upkeep of a good hull is much easier than bringing a boat back from disrepair. Sailing a beautiful boat that was built by hand of natural materials adds so much satisfaction to our voyages, and for me that is worth it.
@@MadisonBoatworks thank you, I guess I’ll be on the hunt for wood. Not a lot of wood boat knowledge on UA-cam so it’s hard to find opinions.
Nice boat,just wondering what you use on your teak
Hi guys we wish you both the happiest of new years. Please can you tell us the name of the boat yard that you balled out in Mexico 🇲🇽. Fair winds.❤️💙😘😘🙏
We hauled out at Marina Guaymas.
Cheers
You could make some decent extra income if you were to start uploading on a bi-weekly or monthly basis.. you have the gift of producing wonderful and honest content that people will gladly watch.. how long before you go back home and start building a sailboat of whatever design you choose from the keel to the masts
Hi guys, I want to let you know that I am quitting UA-cam due to their excessive ads. I'm unsubscribing from all my channels to hopefully send UA-cam a message. Best of luck to you
I have a free AD blocker about which I never have to waste a thought. The only ads I see are embedded in videos taken from broadcast TV without the commercials removed.
