During a Pacific Ocean crossing, the crew of the 45-ft catamaran Catalpa experienced a series of equipment failures, including the loss of radar, AIS, and generator function. Initial troubleshooting of the navigation network involved rebooting the system and switching GPS data sources, which restored the AIS.2:58 The radar remained offline for two days until the crew identified a disconnected cable at the masthead.20:43 A crew member climbed the mast to reconnect the cable, successfully restoring radar functionality. Simultaneously, the generator failed due to a blockage in the sea chest and a damaged impeller; clearing the intake and replacing the impeller restored water flow and power generation.19:05 The crew also addressed a leaking deck hatch by applying TotalBoat 4200 sealant as a temporary measure until they reach Fiji.11:50 Throughout the passage, the vessel maintained a course toward the Galapagos Islands, navigating through squalls and variable winds before settling into a consistent 8-knot pace.13:12
