What this video covers

The crew of the catamaran Mistertong performs final maintenance and rigging adjustments in preparation for an upcoming passage. Djé removes temporary "rattrap-nous" lines from the mast to increase tension on the standing rigging, noting that the plywood hull’s rigidity allows for tighter settings. He plans to reinstall the lines after further testing. Loulou attempts to repair a faulty windlass remote control by soldering internal components. The crew also addresses minor cosmetic repairs on the hull, filling small voids between the wood and fiberglass with thickened resin after probing for potential rot. They plan to clean the hulls and restock provisions in Le Marin before departing. The crew intends to monitor weather patterns closely to time their transit through the Caribbean channels, aiming to avoid extreme conditions for their first major crossing.
