Qué cubre este vídeo

A solo sailor and a guest transit the coast of Martinique, moving from St. Anne to Fort de France and eventually St. Pierre, while managing a malfunctioning in-mast furling mainsail and performing a galley renovation. The mainsail consistently jams, requiring two people to operate and specific wind angles to deploy or retract.12:43 To upgrade the galley, the crew applies Total Boat epoxy to the countertops, using a heat gun to accelerate curing.15:27 The process reveals a limitation in the boat's electrical system, as the inverter trips when running both the heat gun and the air conditioning simultaneously.18:56 Following the project, the owner suffers a severe neck injury while separating the fridge from the cured epoxy, necessitating muscle relaxants and limiting physical activity during the subsequent 45-mile passage to Dominica.22:54 The trip includes snorkeling in Martinique and a visit to the Memorial Museum in St. Pierre to learn about the 1902 eruption of Mount Pelé.25:00 Proper surface preparation and managing ambient temperature are critical when applying epoxy in a tropical climate.
