Ep 135 – Magical Mexico: Sea of Cortez

Feeling like life has piled on responsibilities and left little room for joy or adventure? In this episode, we take you to the stunning Sea of Cortez, Mexico, where guests discovered play, wonder, and connection. From walking with stingrays in Balandra Bay to snorkeling with thousands of fish, spotting a gray humpback whale, and even learning to backflip off the boat—after 50—they proved that magic and growth have no age limit. If you’re ready to reclaim curiosity, laughter, and adventure, let us guide you to your next unforgettable experience.

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.
