A cruising couple in Martinique manages a series of mechanical and health setbacks while preparing for a passage to the Bahamas. To repair a leaking bolt below the waterline, they shift the boat's trim by loading 200 kilograms of water into the bow and using a borrowed dinghy as a counterweight.0:54 They seal the leak with Dichtfix and epoxy.3:03 The crew also replaces a damaged lower shroud for 440 euros and installs a three-blade propeller with a 12-inch pitch, which improves motoring performance against 15-knot winds from 2.5 knots to nearly 5 knots at lower RPMs.6:56 Medical issues force the pair to relocate to Fort-de-France for hospital appointments, including a scheduled gastroscopy.8:38 These repairs and health concerns delay their planned transit to the Bahamas, leaving them nearly 1,000 miles from their destination mid-season.14:10 They find temporary respite at the small anchorage of Petit Îlet before moving to Fort-de-France to access hardware stores and medical facilities.12:34
