Τι καλύπτει αυτό το βίντεο

After 543 days in a boatyard in Puerto Penasco, the crew of the Catalpa departed for a shakedown cruise down the Sea of Cortez.5:31 During the initial 300-nautical-mile passage to Conception Bay, the crew encountered 35-knot gusts and significant following seas, which caused the spinnaker pole to bend at a 90-degree angle.7:25 The vessel averaged 8 to 10 knots during the two-day transit, arriving at the anchorage at 2:00 a.m. Post-yard maintenance revealed two primary mechanical issues: a cracked plastic fitting on the watermaker, which the crew repaired with JB Weld, and degraded watermaker membranes that reduced output from 40 to 27 gallons per hour.16:20 While attempting to relocate to a more protected anchorage within Conception Bay, the engine emitted significant white smoke and a burning odor, which the crew attributed to a slipping belt or injector issue.22:22 The crew opted to continue sailing south rather than investigate the engine further at that location.23:37
