Ahoy, in this episode I take you along on my last SOLO leg to San Felipe. It's the most northern Port on Baja and I'm going to leave ZERO there for a few days to pick up Fay. It was so unbelievable hot during my time up there that my life got pretty sweaty.

1. Get the decks covered from the sun by using full boat awning system. Mast to back-stay, mast to fore-stay. Use topping lifts and extra halyards to lift and support the main awning section. Use fitted poles or battens to shape the awning to your vessel. Roll down side curtains are a must. The downside is that this configuration is cumbersome for short stays in a harbor, better suited for longer stays.
2. Maximize airflow through hatches by using scoops, wind socks and fashion mosquito netting on all openings. Even when there is no wind, having the hatches open creates air movement in the entire area under the awning/canopy.
3. Plenty of small fans. We used the Hella brand and they typically lasted 2-3+ years. I have no idea if these are now offshored, so current models may differ in life expectancy. In the galley, in the nav area, in the salon, over all berths, two even! You can not have enough. The 100amps for the day is well worth it. Airflow over your sweating skin as we all know brings relief.
And most importantly, as a wise man on the beach once told me:
Drink More
Wear Little
Move Less
Bonne chance.
