Qué cubre este vídeo
The crew of the catamaran Mistertong performs a rig inspection and maintenance while anchored in Saint-Louis, Marie-Galante. During the ascent, the owner identifies that the tricolor navigation light is installed backward, with the white light facing forward instead of aft, and corrects the orientation by rotating the bulb socket. The inspection includes checking the spreaders for signs of corrosion or structural fatigue, noting only minor surface rust and no deformation at the swage fittings. The crew also cleans the hull, noting that biofouling accumulates rapidly in the local waters. A temporary failure of the boat's freshwater pump is resolved by fixing a loose electrical connection. The crew emphasizes the importance of tethering tools when working aloft to prevent damage to the deck or solar panels after nearly dropping equipment. The vessel remains in the calm, shallow anchorage of Saint-Louis while monitoring the hurricane season, with plans to relocate if wind conditions shift.
