Our Biggest Fear Sailing In Patagonia - Breakdowns! [Ep. 130]
There is no one to call for help, no escape, we must fix it ourselves. After hundreds of miles of sailing in the remote wilderness things begin to go wrong. Lines break under stress and our engine fails in a tight situation. We bring you onboard to go shorthanded sailing in FPV (First Person View) as we mount headcams and bodycams to capture the truth about sailing in Patagonia. This epic and real footage is what a true bucket list adventure looks like. (Oh, and watch the end for some absolutely amazing underwater video of Patagonian dolphins!)

0:00 Intro
0:44 Today's sailing journey begins - freeing the shore lines and raising the anchor.
2:55 Raising the sails and sailing out a rocky inlet to the main fjord - wonderful upwind sailing
7:01 We discuss our routing for the day and next anchorage
9:45 Breakdown #1 the jib car line snaps while sailing upwind in heavy air
11:04 Kate's cooking in the galley under sail, Pizza! Curtis fixes the broken line as we sail
14:03 Kate takes the helm and tacks upwind through the fjords of Patagonia
19:57 Dropping the sails and entering our next anchorage
20:35 Breakdown #2 the engine is overheating and smoking, we must shut it down and anchor, manuevering using the dinghy in the tight fjord with no engine and rocky shores
23:25 We fix the engine - clearing the raw water intake by cleaning the water strainer, pushing the kelp out from the inside with a wire fish, and changing the raw water impeller, we also use an underwater camera to inspect our hull, keel, and rudder, to check for kelp caught on the bottom
24:53 Exploring an abandoned fishing camp on a remote deserted island in Patagonia - Caleta Neruda
25:52 Epic underwater dolphins shots!
27:00 A huge thank you to all of our Patreons (Patron Names List) and closing shots
