Qué cubre este vídeo

The crew of a 44-year-old sailboat anchored at Hirifa, Fakarava, performs various onboard maintenance and DIY projects while waiting out a period of 30-35 knot winds.1:39 Tom installs a new 220V electrical outlet in the galley to power a kitchen mixer, eliminating the need to run extension cords across the cabin.7:31 He also reconnects a bilge water alarm system that had been disconnected during a previous Pacific crossing; the alarm, which triggers a red light when water reaches the deep bilge near the stuffing box, serves as a critical warning for potential leaks.10:10 Anissia prepares homemade yogurt and rice wine, the latter fermented in a 10-liter container with raisins, sugar, and yeast over two weeks.5:38 The crew manages daily water ingress from the rudder shaft using a manual bilge pump and maintains the vessel’s systems to improve habitability.10:48 They note that while the boat was well-maintained by previous owners, ongoing modifications are necessary to suit their specific needs and comfort.8:33
