Τι καλύπτει αυτό το βίντεο
The crew of Nandji - Frothlyfe prepares for a passage from Nouméa, New Caledonia, to Vanuatu by performing essential maintenance and administrative tasks. During a pre-departure inspection, they identify a vibration in the driveshaft caused by a loose bolt and a damaged washer on the coupling. Realigning the shaft and securing the hardware prevents potential gearbox failure. The crew also repairs their PVC tender by patching leaks with adhesive, avoiding a costly professional replacement. Administrative preparations include coordinating customs clearance for a non-official port of entry in Vanuatu and exchanging currency for local Vatu, which requires visiting multiple banks. The crew waits out 30-knot winds at anchor before finalizing their departure, which involves clearing passports and the vessel with the harbor master. They also solicit donations to reach their fundraising goal for a new wind vane. Proper maintenance and early administrative planning are essential for managing the logistical complexities of international cruising.
