What this video covers
Djé and Nad finalize cockpit and storage locker modifications on their catamaran, specifically addressing drainage issues that previously allowed water to pool inside the lockers.▶ 0:03 Djé drills new drainage holes through the gutter and nacelle, sealing the exposed edges with epoxy resin to prevent water intrusion and structural rot.▶ 0:39 He installs flexible PVC tubing to direct water away from the lockers, consolidating multiple drainage points into a single, efficient system.▶ 1:06 The project concludes with the installation of protective trim around the new openings to prevent chafing and improve aesthetics.
While completing these repairs, the crew prepares for an upcoming haul-out and refit period, estimated to last at least five weeks.▶ 1:42 They are currently sourcing materials, including wood and resin, locally in Le Marin, Martinique, to avoid the higher costs and lower quality of supplies found further south in the Grenadines.▶ 2:28 Djé also pursues local employment opportunities to fund these maintenance projects.▶ 3:13 The crew balances these boat tasks with daily life at anchor, including provisioning, cooking, and managing administrative paperwork.▶ 20:38
