The crew of Supernova, a catamaran, experiences recurring engine failures and mechanical breakdowns while transiting south from Alaska toward Vancouver. Persistent fuel contamination, identified as algae, causes repeated clogging of diesel fuel filters, forcing the crew to perform frequent filter changes while motor-sailing through the Granville Channel and toward the tip of Vancouver Island.14:50 Upon arriving at an anchorage in Clam Cove, near Browning's Pass, the starboard engine emits a grinding noise during reverse.19:09 Inspection reveals the driveline CV axle has suffered a catastrophic failure, with the metal housing torn and the shaft spinning independently of the propeller.20:43 The vessel is rendered single-engine operational for the remainder of the transit to Vancouver.21:11 The crew plans to haul the boat out of the water to replace the damaged driveline component and address the fuel tank contamination before continuing their planned voyage to Mexico.21:58
