The crew of the catamaran Learning By Doing faced a critical engine failure while anchored on a lee shore in Manado, Indonesia, during a period of squally weather.0:26 With 17-knot winds and waves pushing the vessel toward a rocky wall 150 meters away, the crew discovered their starter batteries were dead due to an unresolved parasitic drain.0:42 After failing to start the engines, they prepared an emergency plan involving the dinghy to maneuver the boat and deploy the jib for an upwind departure.2:08 The captain eventually restored power by reconnecting two loose cables on the battery cutoff switch, which had vibrated off.14:47 After successfully starting the engines and charging the banks, the crew decided to abandon the exposed anchorage and motored six miles to a mooring buoy at Bunaken Island.15:14 The captain later performed maintenance on the alternator and confirmed the charging system was functional.13:23 The experience highlighted the necessity of proactive maintenance and the importance of maintaining a calm, systematic approach during emergency decision-making.
