The crew of Bohemen encounters severe weather and mechanical failures while transiting the Dutch coast. After departing Vesterkjelling, the vessel faces 7-to-8-meter waves, prompting the crew to prioritize boat maintenance and leak detection.2:05 Inspections reveal water ingress through an antenna cable seal, which allowed water to pool in a cabin locker during heavy seas.8:22 The crew also attempts to repair a broken wind instrument by installing a replacement unit borrowed from a contact in Rapa, requiring a mast climb to finalize the installation.4:56
While in Rotterdam, the crew attempts to transport their dinghy to a repair shop via the city’s canal system.9:35 The outboard motor runs out of fuel mid-transit, forcing the crew to drift and eventually tow the dinghy to a dock.12:34 After refueling, they navigate canal bridges and eventually abandon the motor to carry the dinghy manually for the final 1.5 kilometers to the repair facility.19:24 The experience highlights the risks of underestimating weather windows and the logistical challenges of urban canal navigation.
