What this video covers
Motoring south along Florida's Intracoastal Waterway, Brittany and Jeremiah head toward Fort Pierce aboard Calypso for a scheduled haul-out, with a life raft dropped for servicing before departure.▶ 0:23 The primary mechanical focus is a newly installed Blue Water watermaker that replaced a Spectra unit — the old membrane now mounted on the ceiling.▶ 7:53 A low boost pressure fault had been shutting the system down because the boost pump run is roughly 12 feet uphill from the through-hull to the unit; a replacement pump fixed the issue, and the watermaker now produces approximately 26 gallons per hour on DC power.▶ 0:20 The generator is also giving trouble, but the crew decides to defer that repair and rely on batteries and solar.▶ 12:21 A teen crew member takes the helm for extended stretches on the ICW, practicing channel navigation, crab pot avoidance, and passing other vessels on the radio.▶ 10:30 Brittany covers liveaboard meal prep underway — hard-boiled eggs, sandwiches, and kid lunches using an air fryer on DC power — while the autopilot handles the boat.▶ 4:08 The plan is one night in a slip at Fort Pierce, haul-out the following morning, and a roughly one-week yard period before returning to a wet slip for solar work.▶ 11:58 A longer boost-pump run uphill requires a higher-capacity pump than a standard watermaker installation assumes.▶ 9:06
