Qué cubre este vídeo

Preparing for a 30-day Pacific crossing from Panama, the crew of Nahoa prioritizes fuel reserves, medical readiness, and mechanical maintenance. Because El Niño conditions forecast light winds, the crew adds four 15-gallon jerry cans to their existing 260-liter built-in fuel capacity, extending their motoring range by four days. They treat the additional fuel as a safety requirement for managing potential medical emergencies or equipment failures while traveling with two young children. Medical preparations include an allergist visit for their daughter, who requires Zolaire for a severe dairy allergy, and routine skin cancer screenings for the adults. Technical maintenance tasks include replacing watermaker membranes, resealing coolant hoses, installing a temperature probe, and replacing a blower fan. Before departure, the crew tests the engine at full throttle to identify potential mechanical failures while still at the dock. They provision for 30 days of self-sufficiency, focusing on shelf-stable goods, frozen meats, and creative supplies for the children.
