A 1977 51-foot Formosa, *Miss Lone Star*, experiences a total failure of its Rennergy house battery bank while sailing offshore, forcing the crew to divert from their planned route to Magdalena Bay.0:31 The inverter-charger glitched, and the battery bank failed to balance, leaving the vessel without reliable navigation lights, autopilot, or bilge pump power.7:24 The situation worsened as the stuffing box began leaking profusely, requiring manual bilge pumping every hour to prevent the boat from taking on excessive water.11:37 The crew hand-steered the vessel to a closer, unnamed anchorage and deployed the anchor by hand to conserve remaining battery power.10:42 While troubleshooting the electrical system, the crew discovered reverse polarity and an alternator that was not wired to charge the starting battery.10:06 They attempted to source fuses and parts in a local town while managing internal team friction and ongoing water ingress.20:05 The crew utilized Starlink for connectivity and Navionics on mobile devices for navigation during the transit.10:56
