New Zealand customs and biosecurity clearance at Marston Cove Marina involves a 10-minute health inspection followed by a 20-minute immigration and customs process.3:56 The procedure requires documentation of boat cleaning and a physical inspection of the vessel.3:41
While staying off-grid in New Zealand, the crew demonstrates a Gouda cheese-making process using 10 liters of milk, calcium chloride, and rennet.11:03 The curds are cut, pressed for 30 minutes, and left to mature for two months.15:29
The crew prepares to install a new electrical system on their boat, Atlas, funded by a donation.17:42 The upgrade includes two lithium batteries, a Balmar 70-amp alternator with a charge regulator and temperature sensor, a battery monitor, two DC-to-DC chargers, and two shunts.18:41 The project also includes a six-month Starlink subscription to enable offshore weather visualization.18:00 Because the boat lacks insurance, the installation must take place at a private dock rather than a commercial marina.17:08
