What this video covers
Chris and Karmen retrieve their boat, *Vanishing Point*, from a Seven Star transport ship in Ensenada, Mexico.▶ 3:14 After boarding the ship via a tender and climbing an external ladder to the working deck, the owners inspect the vessel, confirming that the batteries remain at 100% charge thanks to the solar array.▶ 10:39 They disconnect the backstays and prepare the boat for a crane lift, which lowers the vessel 45 feet into the water.▶ 15:09 Once afloat, the crew checks all through-hulls, restarts the electronics, and reinstalls the backstays before moving to the Baja Naval shipyard.▶ 24:22 The boat requires a bottom paint job, prop service, cap rail varnishing, and brightwork polishing.▶ 21:31 Following a final inspection by the Mexican Coast Guard and the completion of paperwork with Banjersito and the port captain, the owners begin a month-long refit process.▶ 29:34
