What this video covers

Brittany and Jeremiah return to their Antares catamaran Calypso after several months away and work through the first tasks of a new season.1:55 The initial systems check turns up minor condensation damage and surface dirt but no mold, and the air conditioning units restart after opening the through-hulls.1:42 The main project is ordering replacement trampolines through multihullnets.com, recommended by their electrician Dave — the existing trampolines have dry-rotted and torn twice, with a red line currently holding one section together.2:58 Because individual Antares hulls vary slightly, the measurements are far more detailed than expected: precise fractions of an inch, center-point references, and rope guides across both sides in gusty wind.7:48 Brittany scans and submits the schematic as a PDF; normal lead time is five to six weeks, but the crew hopes for two weeks.8:22 A preview for the next episode flags a mold outbreak, a watermaker replacement with a new Blue Water unit, and additional upgrades.9:36 Managing boat maintenance alongside children's schooling and activities runs as a recurring theme throughout.4:23
