UPWIND SAILING around CABO CORRIENTES | Pacific Mexico | Ep 59

Follow along for real time updates on Instagram and Facebook @cruisingmeraki ▬▬ THIS WEEK ▬▬ Back to good old Banderas Bay we go, but first we round another infamous CAPE! Cabo Corrientes is much like any cape around the world; expected winds are often accelerated, seas are often rougher and currents often stronger. We have read that rounding the cape is often easiest in the morning and so to get our timing right we drag ourselves out of bed at 2:00 am with a planned stop just south of Corrientes for the evening in order to round the cape first thing the following morning. This is our SECOND long passage sailing IN TO THE WIND so we pick a weather window where we know we will be motor sailing but hopefully we can begin to figure out this upwind sailing thing! ▬▬ SUPPORT OUR VIDEOS ▬▬ ✩ Keep us Afloat https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=J74HZLHYT6UZU ✩ Meraki MERCH: https://cruisingmeraki.com/shop/ ▬▬ FOLLOW ALONG! ▬▬ ✩ Instagram: http://instagram.com/cruisingmeraki ✩ Facebook: http://facebook.com/cruisingmeraki ✩ Our Website: : http://cruisingmeraki.com ▬▬ OUR STORY ▬▬ This is our story!
