Warren and Erica return to their catamaran in Fiji after eight months away, arriving during cyclone season to find a backlog of maintenance failures requiring immediate attention. In the two weeks before this footage, back-to-back cyclone warnings had them hunkered down in a marina; now they are anchored in an isolated, calm anchorage.▶ 2:59 The repair list Warren works through includes a slipping Lewmar DC2 spinnaker halyard clutch (replaced with a spare of the same model), a fouled dinghy outboard carburetor requiring a full clean and rebuild, a failed step-up converter for the Starlink (down one day, replaced from spares), a dead port-side starter battery (replaced with a spare bought years earlier in Tahiti), sail-drive zincs on the starboard side, and a failed shower sump float sensor.▶ 6:39 Solar panels are temporarily mounted after the first week's cloud cover strained power reserves.▶ 5:59 Erica demonstrates a Fairway sea scrubber — a battery-operated, one-handed underwater hull scrubber — on their Coppercoat antifoul, calling it significantly faster than manual scraping.▶ 11:29 After completing the priority repairs and provisioning at a small local store, they raise the mainsail at anchor and depart to begin exploring Fiji's islands with friends Nathan and Lindsay aboard their trawler, whose channel is called the 71%.▶ 17:49
