What this video covers
The crew of the Millennial Falcon manages boat maintenance and logistics while anchored in St. George's and later Mont Rouge, Grenada. During a period of light winds caused by hurricanes passing north of the Lesser Antilles, the crew performs cosmetic repairs, including removing surface rust from aluminum toe rails with Ospho and polishing bronze hatches with a copper wire brush and Brasso.7:19 They also receive and unbox several shipments of gear, including silicon rings, a smart energy controller for their Isotherm fridge, and 84 pounds of canvas and rigging materials for dinghy chaps and bimini repairs.3:36 The crew sails the Millennial Falcon from St. George's to the clearer waters of Mont Rouge in 12 knots of breeze, maintaining 5 knots of speed in flat conditions.10:57 They emphasize the utility of sailing in sheltered bays even during light wind conditions rather than relying on the engine.11:24
