Qué cubre este vídeo

Lee builds a foldable guest bunk aboard Catalpa in El Salvador over roughly a day and a half, prompted by friend Ali's arrival in three days.3:17 The boat has three cabins; the existing table-drop bed was too disruptive for a week-long stay, so Lee converts a salon area into a fold-out bunk that stows flat as a seat when not in use.6:17 He sources scrap timber from the boat's lockers, cuts plywood panels using a straight-edge and G-clamps as a table-saw substitute, and applies masking tape along cut lines to prevent splintering.12:32 Foam is trimmed with a bread knife.19:05 The finished bunk fits two people and is varnished with TotalBoat, chosen for its near-odorless, water-based formula and one-hour recoat time.20:45 The episode also covers a supply drop: Taj returns from San Francisco carrying Florence Marine gear, Insta360 camera equipment, and a bag of goods collected by friend Kenneth in Seattle, all flown to El Salvador.0:54 Bella's passport is en route from Mexico, and the crew plans to depart for Costa Rica and Panama once a weather window opens after hurricane season.22:41 Straight-edge and G-clamp guiding with masking tape on the cut line produces clean plywood cuts when no table saw is available aboard.12:32
