On this week's episode of Onboard Lifestyle, we leave Bahia Matanchen and head south to Bahia Chacala.... This picturesque anchorage is just what we needed as we settled in to a few days in paradise. Unfortunately, we have a bit of an incident and take an expensive tumble in the surf. Come back next week to see where our next stops take us...see you then!

on last week's episode of onboard
0:32
lifestyle
0:34
basic sets her anchor in baiya mantajin
0:37
my dad steps on a clam
0:40
we visit a fort in san blas
0:43
and i swim with crocodiles
0:47
that gets you caught up so let's
0:48
continue our story
0:52
how come the stars come to shine when
0:55
it's dark from so far away show us where
1:00
we are
1:02
what makes the sun go to sleep every
1:05
night and what's it dreaming on
1:11
i wonder
1:12
[Music]
1:21
we are now on our way to chicago
1:24
hopefully uh
1:26
there's been some news that it's a
1:29
it's a little bit crowded just because
1:31
uh it's getting a lot more popular
1:34
so
1:35
we always have plan b so if it's too
1:37
tight there we'll head over to uh
1:40
timbre
1:41
which is just about eight miles south of
1:44
there
1:45
so the anchorage in chicago this bay
1:47
looks huge
1:48
but when you anchor you'd have to tuck
1:51
into this very corner right here and
1:52
it's good for about i'd say five to
1:55
seven boats at the most
1:57
because the swell and the wind come at
2:00
this angle here
2:01
so you can see that you only have this
2:03
little teeny corner here that is uh
2:05
protected
2:07
you can anchor over here in nice you
2:10
know if the wind and the swell are low
2:12
but that's the sweet spot right there
2:16
[Music]
3:35
hard
3:38
okay
3:42
we're good
3:48
a little bit of a type anchorage so uh
3:51
we're gonna put out a stern anchor
3:54
like everybody else that way
3:56
nobody's swinging into each other
3:58
there is about
4:01
six boats in here with us
4:03
so uh we just want to make sure that
4:06
we're we're doing the right thing
4:08
safety safety
4:10
i think that teal's going to rig this up
4:13
very similar to when we
4:15
grabbed a morning ball on catalina
4:17
island
4:18
this is a simple setup
4:22
and we shouldn't need to put up too much
4:24
line but
4:26
it's nice to have it available
4:29
it's a very nice and calm anchorage
4:31
next few days so i'm not too concerned
4:33
about putting out too much just uh
4:36
just enough that we
4:38
don't swing around
4:40
and catch another boat it looks like
4:42
another one just came in so
4:44
all in all
4:45
seven boats
4:46
maybe more who knows
4:49
but we'll be set
4:53
we are nicely tucked in to
4:56
chikala and
4:59
it is just a gorgeous day
5:03
anchorage is sound
5:06
there is eight votes in here with us and
5:10
uh
5:11
you can't complain no bugs
5:14
the weather is beautiful
5:17
and we're just gonna sit down in about
5:20
an hour and i'm gonna make a little
5:21
pasta with some clams something really
5:24
simple and then we're going to explore
5:26
tomorrow
5:28
but my goodness
5:31
you just cannot beat this
5:36
oh and there was even a wedding on the
5:39
beach so that was really nice to uh to
5:41
witness
5:43
[Laughter]
5:44
[Music]
5:57

6:09

6:13

6:17

6:21

6:23
your skills pantry item it is this is
6:25

6:30

7:25
we just did a
7:27
paddleboard landing
7:28
now it's time to go eat
7:50
this is
7:52
honestly a really cute town it's
7:55
quiet but with lots of hotels and inns
7:59
and restaurants i think it's more of a
8:01
um
8:02
a tourist town for locals for nationals
8:05
yeah you don't see many people from
8:07
outside of the country here aside from
8:08
the cruisers that are in here you don't
8:10
really see any any other nationalities
8:13
the port captain actually is right ahead
8:15
of us
8:16
on the right and it overlooks the small
8:20
bay and
8:21
he's really friendly you just check in
8:23
and let him know that you're here for a
8:25
few days and
8:26
you're going to be on your way but
8:28
overall i think that this was uh this
8:31
was a great stop
8:33
it was
8:35
just you kind of settle in here real
8:39
time you come easy
8:41

8:43
the sizes on the beach for an hour from
8:45
25
8:47
i mean
8:48
i'll massage you for 20 dollars
8:51
i think i want to do that for 25.
8:54
i want to splurge that extra five
8:56
dollars
9:36
all right
9:38
grab a little bite to eat before we head
9:40
back to the boat

[Music]
10:29
well today
10:31
did not go according to plan it sucks we
10:34
were so excited to go
10:38
on a horseback ride
10:39
uh over to a crater a dormant
10:43
volcano
10:44
when everything kind of went to crap i
10:48
mean literally
10:51
four seconds our day was yeah it's not
10:53
ruined but it kind of changed everything
10:55
up so let me uh explain what it is that
10:59
we're talking about we have a little
11:01
mess going on and it was even worse when
11:03
we got back
11:05
you see that shore right there
11:07
well we have been going to shore every
11:10
day with no problems
11:17
until today i guess because
11:20
we
11:21
both tl and i and emma hit
11:24
the waves sideways on our paddle board
11:27
and everything went flying
11:34
not only did everything go flying our
11:36
hats
11:37
sunglasses glasses
11:39
bones
11:41
we had almost everything in the dry bag
11:44
except today i decided for whatever
11:46
reason to
11:47
have my phone outside of our dry bag so
11:51
that went in the water it is now
11:53
currently soaking in a bed of rice
12:10
you think it'll work
12:12

12:15

12:24
no no and i was i had them i had them on
12:28

12:32
put the other ones on and
12:34
i lost my sunglasses
12:37
yeah your new favorite sunglasses teal
12:39
lost another prescription pair of
12:41

12:46
eyeglasses and then now is your
12:47
prescription sunglasses so we're down

12:50

12:52

12:54
prescription it isn't but you know what
12:56
at least i could partially see that cold
12:59
um
12:59
a little bit well emma actually was
13:01
trying so hard she was uh
13:04
diving around looking for our sunglasses
13:07
while i was trying to uh run around like
13:10
a mad woman looking for rice
13:12
and they didn't even understand what it
13:14
was until i asked them for just a bag to
13:16
dump all that rice in there and dump my
13:17
phone in there as well so
13:19
hopefully our
13:21
my phone can be salvaged so that's
13:23
