What this video covers

The crew of the sailboat Zephyr navigates from Marsh Harbour, The Bahamas, to Fowl Cay Reef for snorkeling.0:30 While transiting the inlet between Guana Cay and Fowl Cay, the crew maintains a lookout for coral bombies to avoid grounding in the shallow, clear waters.3:36 Upon anchoring in 25 feet of water, the crew experiences a mechanical failure with their water maker.6:00 The high-pressure pump repeatedly stalls, forcing the crew to abandon planned activities to perform emergency maintenance.12:21 The owner disassembles the feed pump and pressure switch multiple times, suspecting a clog from algae or a faulty pressure switch.14:43 After several attempts, the unit resumes operation, though the exact cause of the failure remains unidentified.16:18 The crew concludes the day by motor-sailing back toward Marsh Harbour while running the water maker to replenish their tanks.15:17
