Qué cubre este vídeo

Armand and Liya, sailing the boat *Cosmo*, discover milky, salt-contaminated oil in their sail drive while anchored in La Paz, Mexico.2:28 Suspecting a failed prop shaft seal or bellows, they perform multiple oil extractions and refills to prevent internal corrosion while awaiting a haul-out.4:23 The repair process involves coordinating with local Volvo specialists, securing parts from San Diego, and scheduling a boatyard lift.13:02 During this period, the crew also replaces their galley refrigerator, a project requiring them to cut a new opening in the fiberglass cabinetry and build a custom floor for the unit.15:18 The timeline for these repairs extends from a planned one-week stop to over a month due to shipping delays for parts and the complexity of coordinating technician availability.12:39 Additionally, the boat drags anchor after a nearby vessel tangles their chain, forcing them to run the engine in reverse to clear the gear, which risks further damage to the compromised sail drive.19:05
