Listen "Ep 107 - The Best Sailing Trip You’ve Never Heard Of"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of What Could Go Right?, We share our love for one of the most underrated sailing destinations in the world: the Sea of Cortez. Tucked along the coast of Baja California near La Paz, Mexico, this region stuns with wildlife, turquoise water, and wide-open adventure—with far fewer tourists than you’d expect.
You’ll hear why the Sea of Cortez is:
A surprisingly easy getaway (yes, even from the U.S.)
A wildlife lover’s dream—with dolphins, whales, and more
Full of pristine, remote beaches and tranquil sailing routes
Whether you're craving nature, adventure, or a total reset, this may be your next great escape.
Welcome to the What Could Go Right? Podcast. We’re your hosts: Erik Orton and Emily Orton. We talk about personal growth and sailing. In 2014, with little experience and less money, we bootstrapped a year on a sailboat with our five kids and it changed our lives forever. We tell the whole story in our book Seven at Sea. On this podcast, we want to help you go from fear to freedom one adventure at a time.
