What this video covers

The crew of Big Lost completes a multi-day transit from Martinique to Grenada, navigating mechanical failures and haul-out procedures. During the final leg, the starboard engine’s alternator electrical connection arcs, melting the mounting bolt and forcing the crew to rely on the port engine.13:20 Upon arrival in Grenada, the crew bypasses St. George’s due to Carnival crowds, opting to check in at Tyrell Bay before proceeding to Clark’s Court Marina.16:23 At Clark’s Court, the crew hauls the vessel to repair a cracked acrylic escape hatch and service the starboard propeller.19:51 The haul-out process involves a diver verifying bulkhead locations and the use of a tractor-trailer to maneuver the boat into a tight storage space on the hard.24:28 The crew notes that professional communication and the use of a diver during the lift significantly improved their experience compared to previous haul-outs at Harbor Town Marina.23:13
