Alfy cruises the Southern Gulf Islands in late September and October, anchoring in James Bay, Walker Hook on Salt Spring Island, Todd Inlet, and Montague Harbour.3:17 While anchored, he performs extensive maintenance on the boat’s exterior boards, sanding them down and applying multiple coats of varnish.4:49 He uses a specific thinning ratio, starting with 70% thinner and 30% varnish for the first three coats, then transitioning to 60-40 and 50-50 ratios for subsequent layers.6:51 To manage cooling temperatures, he operates a diesel wall furnace, which maintains an interior temperature of 21 degrees Celsius with minimal electrical draw.10:45 He also compares this to a hydronic Eberspacher heater, noting the latter provides faster heat but consumes more power.11:16 During the trip, he visits Butchart Gardens and meets the previous owners of his Hans Christian 43, Northern Dancer 5, in Montague Harbour.17:26
