What this video covers

Aubrey, sailing the 51-foot Miss Lone Star, manages boat systems and coastal passages in the Bay of Banderas, Mexico, whilst navigating the challenges of solo life aboard.19:26 Technical issues include a shallow anchor chain locker that causes the windlass to jam, which the crew attempts to mitigate by splitting the chain storage between the port and starboard sides of the locker.4:06 The vessel’s Renogy battery bank fails to charge beyond 60%, and the owner reports difficulty reaching customer service for support.16:21 During a passage from Los Muertos to La Cruz, the crew encounters 13 to 22 knots of wind and preemptively reefs the main sail to limit heeling.21:06 The crew also manages a medical emergency involving a pet dog, which requires an emergency veterinary visit for inflammatory bowel issues.14:59 Despite the technical and personal difficulties, the crew completes local sails to Yalapa and La Cruz, utilising the dinghy to access steep, roly beaches.13:06
