Nice video. Done that trip a few times and it’s a fun one. Thank you for sharing

[@keeldragger]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@daveg4963]

That's awesome. I went through Angeles Gate for the first time later that evening. It was blowing pretty good before the breakwater. I'm at Pacific Yacht Landing.

Sweet. The best sailing is always in the late afternoon at Hurricane Gulch!

Another great video. You can always try using a rolling hitch to another winch to unload the head sheet?

[@keeldragger]

The problem was the sheet was already loaded quite a bit. We could tied a rolling hitch or just another bowline to try to take some of the pressure off that primary winch. I was a little tired, so I suggested just cutting the sheet and retying it, but in retrospect that wasn't the smartest move.

Lucky to have that awesome crew! Anyone wanna sail from Cabo to Mazatlan then onto PV? (SV MarBella)

[@keeldragger]

Nothing beats great friends and great krew! Are you in Cabo now?

It seems you motord all the way to catalina

[@keeldragger]

Typical to expect mostly, if not completely, motoring upwind to get to Catalina for Ensenada. We did get in some sailing as we approached the island.
