What this video covers
After 3,000 nautical miles across the Indian Ocean, Nandji - Frothlyfe arrives at Reunion Island with multiple systems damaged and a planned 700-mile passage to Madagascar ahead.0:19 The Genoa's Sunbrella UV strip has separated along half the sail's length; the sailmaker in Reunion takes it for repair but cannot handle the main's broken bottom batten, deferring that work to a larger loft in Nosy Be.2:36 A dinghy patch covers a spear-gun hole caused by rolling on passage.9:58 The standing rigging — lowers and intermediates on the leeward side — shows slack and gets tuned with Tef Gel applied to the fittings.7:21 The generator's solenoid, suspected to have seized after water from an impeller change drenched it, is replaced with a new unit sourced by mail order.20:21 The watermaker's high-pressure alarm traces not to the membrane but to a faulty digital pressure sensor giving false readings; bypassing it and fitting new membranes restores production, confirmed with a TDS meter.25:02 A RioLink Atlas PT Ultra solar-powered 4K security camera is bracket-mounted above the stern solar panels and connected via Starlink Wi-Fi, prompted by a past robbery in Indonesia.12:19 Water-maker filters, unavailable locally, are ordered online, pushing the departure date back roughly a week.17:29
