James, sailing the 1965 Albert 30 sloop Triteia, prepares for a transit from the Kumai River in Borneo toward Singapore.3:02 Before departing, he secures supplies in Kumai, including water, petrol, diesel oil, and eggs.5:05 The engine requires maintenance, specifically checking the oil and coolant, as the dipstick O-rings are worn and the engine has been difficult to start.7:56
The primary technical challenge involves repairing a failed autopilot.16:58 After water intrusion damaged the circuit board during heavy weather, James attempts to "Frankenstein" a working unit by swapping the circuit board from a spare, non-functional autopilot into the housing of a unit with a known-good ram.19:18 He cleans the components, inspects the circuit board for corrosion, and reassembles the unit to test for power.21:02 While he relies on a wind vane for sailing, he requires an electronic autopilot for motoring during windless conditions while solo.19:50 He successfully hauls 125 feet of anchor chain by hand to depart the river, navigating to a shallow anchorage with seven feet of depth under the keel.15:48
