SAILING TO A DESERT OASIS [Adventure #74] 934 1

Sailing 7 years ago 8,785 views

In the middle of Mexico’s Baja California, we find a true oasis! We sail to Mulege, and along a mountain-spring fed river surrounded by date palms, we discover a mission from the 1700’s. Then, we enjoy some great sailing North to Punta Chivato and Isla San Marcos, enjoying shell collecting and spear fishing along the way. ________________ We hope you enjoy our videos and adventures.

Always entertaining and informative keep it up.

Adventure Adrift - 6 years ago

Thank you David.

Jim Hendricks - 6 years ago

Are you still using your steering vane?? I haven't seen the ropes on the helm lately.

Adventure Adrift - 6 years ago

Yes but "Dan" has seen very little use during our shorter sails in the Sea of Cortez, we had him steering us a few times on our longer overnight sails.

Randy Owens - 6 years ago

Photogenic!

Adventure Adrift - 6 years ago

Thanks!

Chuck Klima - 7 years ago

Wow, I've got some catching up to do with your channel! Nicely done, as usual. Do you guys use your wind vane much, and do you have an autopilot as well?

Adventure Adrift - 7 years ago

Chuck nice to see you watching this episode, we have not used the wind vane too much during the summer on short hops through the sea. We had "Dan" steering us for our last 130 mile leg into the mainland and will have him going here in a few nights. We do also have an autopilot.

if you put a diving weight in the laundry bag off the back it will sink a bit more and do a better job washing.

The Butte Life - 7 years ago

Really missed you guys. Was a really great video to come back to. I love your chill vibe. Thank you.

The Butte Life - 7 years ago

Busy with life. Was watching wayyyy to many sailing blogs. Couldn't keep up with them, even five or six. Had to unsubscribe to a few. Really sucked, I like following peoples adventures. I had to stop using pateron, budget cuts. So in the mean time thank you for sharing for free. I love you guys and your style, Mexico is our first destination, and maybe last. Seems so great down there compared to the other cruising grounds. The heat is sure scary, but it has been ten below here.... Thank you very much and keep up the awesome work!!!

Adventure Adrift - 7 years ago

Thanks mate and welcome back, where have you been?

Curtis Mulder - 7 years ago

Love all that you two do...

Adventure Adrift - 7 years ago

Thanks Curtis we appreciate your acknowledgement.

James Wampler - 7 years ago

Another great video..Such beautiful sites. Cant believe y'all are the only ones enjoying the area.

Adventure Adrift - 7 years ago

There are a few others, but not many out exploring most if any are tucked away in Marinas or safe Hurricane holes.

Frank Rice - 7 years ago

Adventure Adrift - 7 years ago

Cheers!

Sail Before Sunset - 7 years ago

You two are doing things the right way. Great updates. You're also both looking really dapper! The sailing life has a way of doing that to you.

The Wind Catcher - 7 years ago

EMAILING YOU AGAIN. Good video...

805gregg - 7 years ago

You don't pronounce the u in Mulege, it floods out everytime a hurricane goes through, so watch out it's hurricane season. Not only vacation homes, our friends live full time in Chavato.

Damian Gregory - 7 years ago

Wow that water is so blue. Thats got to be enhanced right?

Adventure Adrift - 7 years ago

It really was that beautiful color! Pretty amazing, right? :)

snow dingo - 7 years ago

I'm a cameraman and shoot docos all over the world. Apart from having integrity you 2 are shooting some crazy good pics.Not overdoing the drone either. Styling!

Adventure Adrift - 7 years ago

Wow, thanks so much. Really appreciate the compliment :) Cheers!

Just back from Lapland and the Artic Circle. Tomorrow more boat building. Nice to spend Sunday morning watching this video of warmer climates. It was 1°C in Äkälompelo when we left. Had a crazy idea that after my studies in September 2018 we'd all spend 9 months in the tiny cabin while my wife studies Hotel Management. That would be an interesting vlog also. As it can get well below -30°C and there's no sunlight for months on end....

Adventure Adrift - 7 years ago

That certainly would be an interesting vlog! Not something many people would know anything about, we'd love to see it.

Stephen McFarland - 7 years ago

Once again, you 2 are really great! I really like how you edit the maps into the video to give us good frame of reference. Thumbs up!

daredevil - 7 years ago

Always happy to see your videos!!
You are both Amazing!!

Looks like Hurricane Norma is definitely going to give you guys a miss, at least that's the vib i'm going to send out.
Hate to seem pedantic, but, I've found once I used it for a while, that the correct nautical terminology really didn't make me sound like an idiot trying to sound like pirate. It is very clear and concise. Very good when everything thing around you seems to going to shite in a handbag and someone is trying to hit you in the head with it.

If you get the chance, visit the inland town of San Ignaco, not far from you now- an amazing oasis in the mountains inland from Santa Rosalia. It is worth the trip..

Curtis Mulder - 7 years ago

A Hurricane hit Mulege back ten years or so ago.
Thanks for your video...

Great work, we get to relive our journey from just a short while ago.
We will,see you soon in San Carlos.

Uncle Muir - 7 years ago

It gets better every episode.

Adventure Adrift - 7 years ago

You are right... nature never ceases to amaze us!

Cleo Torris - 7 years ago

Great video! I don't think I will every get enough of Hilary cleaning fish ;)

Laurent Froggy - 7 years ago

Another sweet video guys, great drone too. Quick Q tho, didn't you use the drone on that sweet little oasis? I would have thought a drone shot over that would have been really good. Thanks for sharing and best from HKG

Adventure Adrift - 7 years ago

We forgot to bring the drone in that day, and we were definitely kicking ourselves once we got there! Would have been a sweet shot for sure. Hope all is well in HKG :)

David Barry - 7 years ago

Thanks for sharing again guy's, i wonder how long those jelly fish survive in the fresh water. Keep the awesome drone footage coming:)

Arthur Pryor - 7 years ago

Keep playing to your strengths. Continue to tell great stories. From canning meat to travel guides. I watch several sailing channels and most focus just on traveling. The reason I find your channel so interesting is you incorporate even what most would would consider mundane life into an interesting story. I started watching when you were preparing in the Columbia River. Your story wasn't much about travel, it was about work and persut of a dream. Refocus on the story of your dream (I can watch sights from any sailing channel). Play to your strengths. I want both of you to succeed.......you both have an unique story and dream let that vision show......best wishes....karl

Adventure Adrift - 7 years ago

Thank you Karl for your kind words! Really appreciate it :)
