Spares for the sea of cortez aren't really any different than cruising anywhere else, this is what we carry, for our aging Perkins 4108, and represents our real world experiences over the last few years cruising in the sea.
The old adage that the cruising life is mostly boat maintenance in exotic locations is no less true in the Sea of Cortez. In this article I'll detail what you can find in the country and where, and share our strategy for getting spares (and upgrades) into the country when you can't get what you need locally or when it's so expensive you're getting cramps in your arm from squeezing your wallet so hard.
In this article, I'll give some insight into when we haul out, where, and the various pros and cons we've encountered along the way.
Generally speaking, sailing in the sea of cortez, is like sailing anywhere, you'll break about the same amount of things each season as you would back home, there'll be times you wish you had something you don't, and there'll be times where you wish you didn't have something you did. In this article I explain some of the things we wish we'd known before we arrived in the Sea of Cortez.
