Check out the link below as Grant and Noel on Mundial, a Downeaster 38, spot Sampaguita and me as we approach the anchorage in Bahia San Juanico on Baja California Sur’s Pacific coast. This is a short clip from Episode 55 on their YouTube channel. Click the image below to see the video:
This is the last in this five-part series. I have been sorting through some archival footage from my 2019 transit of the Northwest Passage aboard Oliver Huin’s Breskell. Maybe this will be fun for the armchair sailors. Maybe it will be helpful for those planning a future trip.

September 18, 2023 Some cruising friends and I were exclaiming how dramatically Sampaguita rolled in this anchorage. Timing is everything. December 23, 2024 Fortunately, not there now.
Sampaguita sits quietly at anchor off the bell tower in Port Townsend. Arriving at 1800 local time, July 8, she sailed up to anchor in a light west wind.
