Departing Monkey Bay Marina on the Rio Dulce after a 10-month refit, Steve and Annette aboard Venus abandon a planned Honduras stop because British citizens require a visa obtained in Guatemala City.0:12 The departure itself stalls when the helm wheel keyway goes missing; Steve fabricates a replacement from keystock using a broken vernier gauge before they can leave.2:49 They overnight at Cayo Comodo — described as roughly halfway to Livingston, with bars and restaurants but no shops — then proceed to Livingston to check out of Guatemala.5:50 Venus draws 1.8 metres; the Livingston bar tide reads 1.9 metres, the same height at which they touched bottom entering nine months earlier.9:09 Steve decides to heel the boat using a spinnaker halyard attached to a second vessel while a tow boat pulls them through.12:21 Overnight rain kills all instruments — depth sounder, speed, everything — before the crossing.9:35 Mid-bar at roughly 25 degrees of heel, the tilting line snaps; Venus briefly rights itself and touches bottom before the line is re-rigged and they complete the crossing.15:13 The episode ends with Venus anchored in the bay outside Livingston, bound for Belize and the world's second-largest reef.17:12
