What this video covers
The crew of Nandji - Frothlyfe prepares their vessel for a long-term layup at Port Tukola Marina in Krabi, Thailand, before flying to Australia for the holidays.0:39 To prevent mould growth in the tropical humidity, they use moisture-absorbing desiccant packs and configure the tender and hatch covers to maintain airflow through the cabin.6:15 The crew removes the rudder from their Hydrovane self-steering system to minimise marine growth during their absence.3:12 They secure the boat in a Mediterranean-style mooring, utilising new spring and stern lines alongside their bow anchors.4:31 To mitigate the risk of engine damage should a third party need to move the boat, the crew closes all saltwater seacocks and places prominent warning signs on the engine ignition and battery isolator switch.6:26 This departure marks the first time the crew has left their boat unattended in a marina for an extended period in two and a half years.7:44
