Qué cubre este vídeo

Garrett and Ruth maneuver their 15-ton sailboat, Red Aviva, from a mooring field into a marina slip in Escondido to perform a deep cleaning and inventory purge.4:07 The crew executes the docking maneuver in calm, windless conditions, relying on prop walk to turn the vessel and a neighbor to assist with lines.4:24 After securing the boat, they spend the week emptying all storage hatches and lockers to remove accumulated salt, rust, and unnecessary gear.13:40 They use fresh water, soap, and scrub brushes to clean the interior of the wooden hull, emphasizing the importance of thorough drying to prevent rot.14:22 This maintenance routine, inspired by the practices of Lin and Larry Pardey, allows the owners to assess the condition of the boat’s systems and reclaim storage space after nine months of absence.15:32 The process serves as both a physical restoration of the vessel and a mental reset for the owners before returning to the mooring field.18:57
