SAILING MILAGRO - SEA OF CORTEZ
Australia
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 20 เม.ย. 2022
Hello, I'm Kevan, a 64 year solo Kiwi sailor. I have a quite a few years of sailing experience under my expanding belt. I have sailed for many years in the Sea of Cortez and on the mainland in addition to exploring the South Pacific many many years ago. My videos will provide you with a realistic and honesty view of cruising, living aboard a boat and fixing stuff when it goes wrong. I choose this lifestyle and fund it from savings and pension . I will never ask you to contribute to Patreon, my videos will always be free. One thing you wont find on my site is Bikinis , bums and breasts as clickbait. In fact, I endeavor to keep my titles factual and honest. I'm not the best at editing, so my videos can be a bit raw at times. I will say they improve from time to time. Please feel free to comment both positive and constructive criticism , the feedback will enable me to adjust. Subscribing is purely your decision, appreciate it if you do but I'm equally happy you watched a video. Cheers !

Good point about the likelyhood that they're equipped for cruising down there. Lot of $ in it
People appear to forget, adding Davits , a dingy and decent outboard , water maker , life raft , solar and a decent battery bank , all the spares needed. A proper anchor and 300 feet of chain , Epirb adds at least 70k
Totally innocent!! 😂😂😂
Yup
Why tape goes around ankles not on the heal ?
It goes around the heel where the back of your shoes could rub
wow lots of great photos ...THANKS
Glad you enjoyed them Jack
Hey Kevan. Incredible endurance. I couldn’t pull that off. Did you sell your boat?
No not yet but not in any hurry . It’s nice living in a marina where you don’t have to keep one eye on the weather
that would have been me !!!!
True
It's all about the shoes. I hiked with Altra Lone Peaks from France to the coast and got one small blister on my toe at the very end. It was easily treated at the hostel. I used them again in Iceland and Switzerland with more gear the summer after. 100% blister free.
Yes started with lone peaks and thought they would be great . I wear them everyday . But had to change them for something with lift
nice job of warning fellow future camino walkers......BOY I BET YOU TWO ARE IN GREAT SHAPE NOW!!!!
Yes it was difficult to see so many people in pain along the wall
When you say “tape on ankles” where do you mean exactly? Ankles and heels? Thanks. Great advice.
Just around the ankles where the top of your walking shoe comes into contact . That’s the place most people we saw had issues . The blue athletic tape is 2 inches wide .Dont stretch it when you put it on
That thumbnail looks painful!
Yes there were some horrendous blistering affecting a lot of people
Sorry, but seems to be more like a long selfie, no need to film, for example....Spain? Actually kind of a nice and interesting place out there, I guess.
Thanks for the comment
Yeah mate, Id fly 14 hrs to eat ....tacos too! 😜👍🏼
😂
good show mate 🙂👌
Thank you david
where can an Oregonian get a good taco????? cheers to U and G
🌮
Hard to beat Taco Fish, and half the price as here in San Carlos.
Yep , think they are still the best for fish tacos but Bismark was definately better for shrimp
Legends!
Never thought I’d would complete , should have got an Uber
So beautiful! And the food looks nice too. Lucky old sea dog you. 😀😀
True 👍
Why selling after 3 mos?
Nearly 2.5 years ownership Although I have been cruising in the Sea of Cortez for 12 years on previous boats . Time to do something different . Have just completed the 800km Camino de Santiago walk
What are the slip costs in La Paz for a 42 ft catalina?
Us$1200 a month including water and electricity
@@sailingmilagro are you on an yearly and is your boat and slip transferable?
It’s a permanent slip and it’s transferable . I pay the monthly rate each month and if I go out cruising and leave the slip the marina sublet until I let them know I will be coming back . Then the subletter is made to vacate
@@sailingmilagro Excellent! I went through all your videos, very nicely done BTW. Very honest presentation.
Thank you
great scenery ....cheers you two!!!
Thanks Captain Jack
You guys look like you’re having a great time. Remember keep the Latin out of the mass. 😂
A common saying has started to occur . “ oh no another hill “
what a great adventure for You and G....all the best fair winds following seas...and lots of Gelato!
Thanks Jack , it was an amazing experience . We may do another one in a couple of years
Good for you - what's next?
Not sure , maybe South America on a motorcycle
Just came ccross your channel . Glad i did. You have a beautiful Cat & the info tour on your vessel is great . Well done. I learned a lot from you & i personally thank you. Great sailing , smoorh seas, and safty for you & guests always sir. Love your boat!😅 I am in Atlantic Canada, on sea north Atlantic village. Around oc3an all the time. It's a special world & I love it. It can be nasty but I would not give it up for anything .
Yes the sea has a hold on me from My child hood growing up in a small fishing village
Greetings, I have retired in La Paz and would love to learn to sail. How did you learn?
Self taught in my 30s
Can you use financing from the US to buy a boat in Mexico?
Sorry don’t know the answer to that
Magnífico lugar, gracias
It was beautiful
Perfecto muchas felicidades ahora a descansar
Gracious
well done. i have found most of your items myself, but still picked up some good tips. my next boat? better informed decision making. how about boat length? 50'? 35'? 55'?
Boat length depends on many things , marina fees , number of people on board . Personally , the bigger the better . I solo sailed a 46 with no issues
Criminales
???
What about Puerto Vallarta?
They are also good , paradise village and Zola Cruz
Nice videos. I am looking at a 52 foot sailboat in Puerto Vallarta. Is there any downside to a large boat? Just slip cost?
Not just the cost of the slip but the availability of the correct size , the amount of anti foil needed , the cost of having the bottom cleaned , they charge per foot . Haul out charges. Then the cost of replacement parts as everything is bigger , anchor chain , anchor . The dollars soon start to add up as the size of boat goes up . You could also add anchoring on tight spots could be a challenge . What’s your reason for a 52 , family and kids ?
Thank you for the tour! I’m looking at a 42MKII to move onto. I’m 69, singlehander. Is the boat ever to big? Why not a Hydrovane? I just really like the comfort of the boat. Knowing what you know would you sail her home to NZ? Would you cross the Atlantic Thanks again, Jim
I’ve had self steering before , Aries and monitor . Back in the days when you were concerned about overnight power consumption . For all of my sailing I only need a decent autopilot . Would I sail her back to NZ , yes without a doubt. I like the keel stepped mast
Looks like an amazing trip. I remember when you used to sail😂
Walking is about the same pace as sailing 😂😂
I do hear a lot of heavy breathing😅😅
Es una magnífica aventura, suerte
Gracias
Bendiciones...m
👍
I'm curious where you found sun visors for your 100/4? I have been trying to locate a set of visor hinges, but with no luck for my 100/4.
Don’t know they were on the car when I bought it
Beautiful
Yes the countryside is ever changing and stunning
What did you pay $$ ??
165,000 , the boat is now for sale for the same price after numourous upgrades
@@sailingmilagro Thank you
Going to Bilbao?
Not on the route for the Camino to Santiago
Wow! You sailed to Spain? Lol
Went to wind on a 747 😂
Great video. Can we get a hold of you? An email perhaps? Thank you.
Hi, Sailentrenous@gmail.com
Saw mlagro listed on yacht world today apr 12. I’ve in Houston and life’s about is make a significant change that’s going free up my to cruising dreams. I watch your channel and and familiar with her and your stories..I do have a bunch of questions . I’m interested and have many questions. What’s the best way to contact you? Ron S.
Sailentrenous@gmail.com
Beautiful Catalina
Thank you
Starlink looks pretty interesting. I suppose you could livestream from your phone anywhere in the world? Can it utilize all the apps and what not that you generally use when on shore? Banking apps, Facebook, Messenger for video chat? If so thats an amazing feature, especially if you had some issues out in the middle of the pacific or somewhere remote.
Yes you have the capability of massive downloads and super speeds . You just connect your phone or laptop like you to any wifi system and away you go no matter where you are
It seems everything is changing ! Sounds like a transient sailor will love his anchor very, very much. Thank you for gathering the info and for sharing the information.
Yes times are changing and marina prices are getting ridiculously high
@@sailingmilagro I think marinas in Southern California are cheaper than La Paz. I could be wrong.
Thanks mate. Good sound advice.
My pleasure , thanks for watching my channel
Lol
Nice owners too
42 MKII
👍
I am looking for a boat at the moment aswell and find the Catalina 42 one of the best choices at the moment. I do have heard a couple of times now that people prefer the MKII. Is there a major difference between the MKI and MKII other than the age and minor design changes? For me more important would be the safety aspect. Is there a big difference between MKI and MKII? I would like to live on the boat fulltime, some Island hopping and at one point in time cross the atlantic ocean. For example spend 2 years in the Caribbeans and head over to the mediterranean for a couple of years. I think a full on blue water vessel would be overkill.
Hi,the rudder is much deeper on the mark II and I think the mast is moved back a little . Plus the interior layout is a little different . The keel stepped mast helps with ocean crossing . The boat is more than capable crossing oceans . Milagro is currently for sale if you want to start your lives aboard life in the safe waters of Mexico
Kev. Just so you know. When you do a search on yacht world and search " Used/All Sail/Catalina/MKII" The listing does not appear. When you search. "All/All sail/Catalina/MKII" it does appear? So anyone searching under Used boat will not see your listing. Nice boat.
I’ll check with the broker
Omg id just found milagro at yw... But we just can dream about Buy her😢
