[@SailingBohemia]

Two harbors is just an amazing place! One needs to watch out for the Santa Ana winds as they can be pretty dangerous! enjoy this episode

Caught a ride on a Santa Ana wind her hot breath filled my sailes

[@EricJDiLeo]

Another wonderful video!

[@SailingBohemia]

Thanks a lot Eric. Glad you are enjoying them.

[@michynature]

That’s my first time seeing that area and I have to agree! It’s very special and ‘tropical’! 😍 Hard to leave like so many places I’m sure! This is a nice change watching sailing over on the Cali side. My friend from there told me about those winds so I found this very interesting! Great technical info (including the headline script) 😂

[@SailingBohemia]

ohhh you are binge watching!! ha ha glad you have started from the beginning!

[@michynature]

@@SailingBohemia yes! You deserve more subs too so I’m going to keep commenting to help your algorithm. It’s the least I can do for this mint entertainment!

[@billandsusancooper5229]

So glad that you are playing it so safe, ie heading for the mainland to take shelter from the Santa Ana's. You've got the time, so why not. Watch for the windows and enjoy wherever you are. Regarding the comment about using pillows to keep your plates from sliding, Susan and I know that the rubber grommets on the bottom of those green plates will secure them in place (hah). Once again, thanks for taking us along on your adventure. We are indeed envious, and struggle to keep dry eyes when we see Bohemia under sail. Fair winds . . .

[@SailingBohemia]

Hi Bill and Sue, thanks again for such a lovely message and encouragement. We need it, we are now half way down the Baja Peninsula in MX and are exhausted. The sail to Cabo is soooo much longer then we imagined! just been 3 days and 3 nights at sea and stopped at Bahia Asucion for rest and weather window. The green plates are perfect for the passages I agree, could not do without them. Do glad you guys are enjoying it and following along. PS. Talking about playing it safe...wait for episode 8 when everything goes wrong!! spoiler alert!! ha ha , Thanks , P & T

Ahoj mořeplavci, opět nádhera....nejen příroda a plavba, ale i vaše souhra a nadšení zasluhují obdiv 🙏🙋‍♀️😊 díky.

[@SailingBohemia]

moc děkujeme Moniko, ted jsme pluli 72 hodin a konečně mame internet! jupí! 😅 přejeme hezký víkend

[@tvonzweck]

Another good video. I watch about 25 sailing KZbin channels and you've done some great work for such a new channel. I left Cat Harbor for San Diego at midnight last time I was anchored there to avoid a Santa Ana wind event. Did it ever kick up while you were in San Pedro? It is a finicky wind as sometimes one part of the LA coast gets hammered while an other just 5 -10 miles away doesn't.

[@SailingBohemia]

Thanks, we had some wind in San Pedro but nothing terrible, then the smoke fire came and it was time to leave!

[@TaylanYalniz]

Just started binge watching a few years after your first videos. Can you tell me, please, about your anchor?

[@petracullen4505]

Skvělý ,i jsem se zasmála ....ohledne solarnich panelu :)))))))))

[@SailingBohemia]

ha ha no alespoň jsi neusla jako já!! ha ha

[@prestondwhite]

don't ask for details. I am gonna end up angry if you guys stop this already. Thanks for the efforts of putting yourselves out there.

[@SailingBohemia]

Greetings from Mexico....we are still sailing and making videos.. got few more episodes to watch. :-) enjoy

[@ivanahornova3964]

Moc krásný. Hltám to a fakt jsem nadšená. Díky.... jen tak dál :-)

[@irenahejnova9227]

Ahoj kluci, je to krása :-) ta rybka je úžasná. Už se těším na středu na pokračování. Opatrujte se pá

[@SailingBohemia]

Děkujeme mamčo! konečně máme internet! ( na chvíli) xx

[@jjohnbrown1221]

For more power, have you looked at a water turbine? I wonder if they would work at anchorage with the current or tides. Most people use them while sailing to recharge batteries.

[@SailingBohemia]

Hi there! A water turbine would be useful for long passages, we hear when you're traveling 5 knots+ they come into their own! Something to consider for a long crossing to keep the autopilot purring! So far at anchor and underway here in Mexico the solar has been doing so well, more than covers our needs when all panels are working, would highly recommend!

[@skottpd8918]

The isthmus is my second favorite place on Catalina first is Emerald Bay, i did Boy scout camps there as a kid, great memories!! Gorgeous videos.

[@SailingBohemia]

Thanks Scott!! we agree the places on Catalina are just something else!! Hope you enjoy our Avalon episode too. 😉

[@RustyCroom]

Was in Cat Harbor during that Santa Ana...

[@SailingBohemia]

fun wasn't it! lol we got caught out in Avalon!!

[@marybelduarte5332]

Hi guys! Love the video!! We volunteer for the crew openings! Lol Enjoy the adventure!!!

[@SailingBohemia]

ha ha have you send the application form yet? ha ha thanks so much Marybel, we are half way down the baja now , its sooooo much further then we thought!

[@johnnyohness6610]

Really enjoying your vlogs guys...By the way what brand exactly is your boat? What year is it? Your inside shots were beautiful . Such a nice cruiser.

[@SailingBohemia]

Its Beneteau 361 from 2001- I ( peter) have redone the upholstery inside the cabin - it was green and now off white vinyl - much better look and for cleaning! Thanks for watching!

[@sailingcloud9295]

are the orange fish edible?? do they taste good i wonder/ is the bay pretected can you not fish?? soooo many questions

[@SailingBohemia]

ha ha , NO, they are the state fish of California... Garibaldi fish, protected by law....no fishing.

[@lisarowell454]

I can't help but wonder if the issues you are seeing with your solar not keeping up are less caused by the season and more caused by the HouseKeeper's new video editing habit. Captain might want to put an amp meter on that one. You're a lot further south now and that should be in your favor. I would still think about separate MPPTs would be good.

[@SailingBohemia]

now now Lisa!! it has nothing to do with my editing habit! I don't have a problem , I swear!! ha ha x

[@lisarowell454]

Sailing Bohemia Then you won't mind getting the captain one these for his birthday haha www.fluke.com/en-us/product/electrical-testing/clamp-meters/fluke-325
