What this video covers

Djé and Nad, living aboard an Outremer catamaran in Martinique, perform structural repairs on the boat's chainplates while managing daily logistics without a vehicle. To reinforce the chainplates, Djé sands the area and applies multiple layers of fibreglass cloth, following advice from a local composite workshop to ensure structural integrity.Watch He completes the repair in two stages, applying epoxy mastic, sanding, and planning for a final coat of epoxy primer to protect the work. While working on the boat, the couple navigates the challenge of running errands without a car. Djé uses the ship's dinghy to reach a local fisherman’s pontoon near a shoe store, securing permission from a nearby mechanic to leave the tender safely. Nad manages onboard tasks, including preparing homemade bread and pancakes in the galley, while monitoring the boat's internal temperature, which reaches 34°C. The couple plans to relocate the catamaran to Anse-Mittan for the weekend to meet friends and facilitate Djé’s participation in a local running race.
