What this video covers

After repainting their boat, Good, Bad, and Ugly, the crew departs for a coastal passage to anchor near Palominos or Cacos.3:21 During the transit, a boom block fails, which the owner repairs temporarily with line to navigate a lee shore.3:16 Upon arrival, the crew evaluates two anchorages, choosing the more crowded one to avoid the excessive rolling of the alternative.5:35 They replace a malfunctioning, battery-draining ice-chest-style freezer with a standard 4-cubic-foot mini-fridge, which they report consumes fewer amps and offers better storage access.7:31 The crew attempts to fish for yellowtail snapper but catches only small grouper, opting to grill steaks instead.17:35 The owner uses a professional-grade metal polish cream and a Scotch-Brite pad to restore a stainless steel grill, noting that a power sander would be required for a deeper finish.18:44 The crew seeks advice on the appropriate etiquette for offering anchoring assistance to other vessels in crowded, rocky anchorages.21:52
