What this video covers
Steve Dunlap and Meghan Fabulous depart on their Lagoon 450 catamaran, Some Tuesday, after a six-month refit that ran three and a half times over budget and pushed their original September departure to late November.18:26 The head batten car stalled three-quarters of the way up the mast during a shakeout sail because a marine supplier installed wrong-size slider rods; a marine electrician lived aboard for nine weeks completing the electronics overhaul.2:05 The new windlass pulls 3,500 pounds and carries a 105-pound anchor.8:08 Other upgrades include a new dinghy, all-new upholstery and cushions, a new cooktop, a dishwasher, and a full electronics suite with a chartplotter-linked helm station that allows seated steering with collision-avoidance capability.4:52 During the refit period, the crew also sold a business, bought and staged a Nevada home as an Airbnb, and moved aboard.6:15 The planned route runs from their California slip to Catalina Island, then Ensenada, south through El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, and Ecuador, with a Pacific crossing from Ecuador targeting late May to avoid the windless July window.15:55 Two aging pugs, Mr. Pickles (15½) and Colonel Mustard (12, deaf), sail with them.1:20 Boat preparation costs consistently exceed initial estimates when a full refit is attempted in parallel with major life transitions.
