Τι καλύπτει αυτό το βίντεο
The crew of the sailboat *Califa* remains in Vitória, Brazil, for an extended 30-day maintenance stop, originally planned for two weeks. The primary technical challenge involves a malfunctioning diesel generator that fails to start despite the installation of a new starter motor. Adriano Borchardt suspects a fuel delivery issue, specifically investigating the Racor primary fuel filter and the potential for air in the fuel lines or water contamination. While the generator remains inoperable, the crew successfully installed two new solar panels, which now provide sufficient power during daylight hours. Other ongoing repairs include the Genoa, which is being serviced in Ilhabela, and the mainsail, which requires further adjustments after an initial repair attempt failed. The crew manages these tasks while balancing daily life, including childcare for Alexandre and local excursions around Vitória, Guarapari, and Ponta da Fruta. The vessel remains stationary until the generator and sail repairs are completed.
