The crew of the 38-ft yacht Avanti, Gerard and Jacqueline, transit 250 nautical miles from Fakarava to Tahiti to avoid an incoming weather system featuring 4-meter swells.1:32 Upon arrival in Papeete, the crew prioritizes restocking fresh produce, diesel, and gasoline, and performing maintenance before departing for Moorea.6:59 They source Volvo Penta and Raymarine spare parts from industrial-area chandleries, noting that Tahiti offers better stock availability than Panama despite higher prices.12:51 Gerard performs an engine oil change on the Volvo Penta after 430 total hours, using an electric pump to extract 10 liters of oil.12:00 He also inspects a noisy Jabsco diaphragm freshwater pump; finding no blockages or calcium buildup, he concludes the motor is failing but retains the unit for continued use, relying on a pre-purchased spare if necessary.14:11 The crew utilizes the Papeete marina for water, laundry, and waste disposal, noting that local authorities are increasingly replacing free anchorages with paid moorings throughout the Society Islands.5:45
