Qué cubre este vídeo
Max and Ale depart Bundaberg and motor Y2K, their Beneteau Oceanis 50, through a shallow inland passage to Scarborough Marina — a waypoint charted at 2.5 metres that they treat as the critical hazard — where they plan to wait out the South Pacific cyclone season for several months.▶ 0:00 At the marina they collect a large shipment of packages and unbox the major items on camera.▶ 2:35 The centerpiece is a new stainless-steel refrigerator, replacing an 18-year-old unit whose freezer door, bottom seal, and gasket all needed replacement; combined, the parts would have cost nearly as much as the new fridge, which arrived quickly from an Australian supplier.▶ 16:57 A new microwave replaces a water-damaged unit; Max rewires the Australian three-pin plug directly rather than using an adapter, then fabricates a mounting solution because the new unit's footprint differs from the old one.▶ 20:25 Other packages include lithium battery cells with BMS units and a QR-code-linked history app, a multi-relay board to replace all physical panel switches with tablet-controlled relays over the boat's network, a new monitor, and a refrigerator circulation fan to stop condensation from rotting the cabinetry behind the fridge.▶ 4:36 They also pick up a rental car — a sporty coupe costing AUD 2,500 for 66 days — noting that mileage caps are a real constraint given Australia's distances.▶ 12:47 The episode closes with a mention that Y2K will be left at Scarborough while they travel to the Bundaberg boatyard, covered in the next episode.▶ 25:16
