The crew of the 38-foot sailboat *Khalifa*, currently anchored in Miami, Florida, prepares for an upcoming passage to the Bahamas by upgrading their outboard engine and performing maintenance on their canvas enclosure. Adriano replaces their 5-horsepower Mercury two-stroke outboard with a new 9.9-horsepower Yamaha four-stroke, purchased from Lauderdale Inflatables.16:25 The new engine offers increased power and fuel efficiency, and the crew stocks spare parts, including oil filters and spark plugs, for future maintenance.16:08 Adriano also applies a waterproofing treatment to the boat's canvas bimini and dodger, noting that the previous treatment had degraded after six months of exposure.20:18 During the process, he identifies a structural issue where a stored paddleboard deformed the canvas, causing rainwater to pool.22:25 The crew also installs improved velcro seals on the enclosure to prevent water ingress.23:58 While anchored, the crew balances boat maintenance with family activities in Miami, including visits to local parks and beaches.
