What this video covers

A custom stainless steel solar arch is installed on Big Lost, a Moorings 6200 catamaran berthed at Ram Marina in Rio Dulce, Guatemala, while the crew works through a difficult stretch of illness and boat projects.2:25 Kelly contracts rotavirus and a urinary tract infection — traced to contaminated water and food — and spends a night on an IV drip at Clinica de Medico in La Torre before recovering aboard.11:20 Connor fixes a condensate drain from the air conditioning unit and installs propane while also filling water tanks manually, noting the tank-level gauges are broken; the owner of a fourth Moorings 6200 named Amore, reached by instant messenger from Australia, flags working water-tank gauges as one of his most satisfying upgrades.16:54 Big Lost receives its official name graphics in three locations: the sail bag, the dinghy (labeled "Little Lost"), and the hull, replacing the previous charter name "Big Dog."17:55 The crew homeschools children Finn and Maddie using Duolingo for Spanish and IXL for math, language arts, and social studies.15:03 The solar arch fabrication and installation is the headline project, though the arch itself is shown being positioned rather than fully commissioned. Contaminated water in Guatemala is identified as a recurring hazard requiring bottled water for tooth-brushing and boiling water for dishwashing.11:52
