What this video covers

Djé and Nad continue structural repairs on their catamaran while hauled out at a marina. Djé reinforces the engine compartment bulkhead by laminating multiple layers of 12mm and 15mm plywood. He uses an angle grinder with an abrasive disc to prepare surfaces for bonding, noting the difficulty of working in the confined, high-heat space.8:54 After completing the structural bonding, he plans to finish the work with a belt sander to prepare for fiberglass tabbing.37:43

Outside of the engine room, the pair obtains a temporary driving permit to facilitate local travel by rental car. They also address maintenance on the boat's trampolines, replacing tensioning hardware and tightening the nets despite failing deck fittings. The crew reports significant delays in their relaunch schedule due to ongoing administrative issues with the marina, which have halted major work for two weeks. They rely on support from fellow cruisers and subscribers to navigate these challenges while awaiting a return to the water.
