Qué cubre este vídeo

After completing a 21-day, 3,000-mile Pacific Ocean crossing from Fiji to Fatuhiva in the Marquesas, the crew of the sailboat *Kiana* performs post-passage maintenance and transitions the vessel from passage-making to cruising mode.0:48 Initial tasks include disposing of accumulated trash, reconfiguring the interior from the quarter berth to the V-berth, and troubleshooting a non-functional propane stove.1:08 The owner identifies a corroded power cable leading to the propane solenoid valve as the cause, which he repairs by stripping and re-splicing the wire.2:43 The crew also secures a replacement outboard motor for their dinghy after their original unit was compromised during a theft incident at their departure point.5:13 A fellow solo sailor, Peter of *SV Kessel*, arrives in the anchorage and successfully repairs his own outboard motor, which had become hydro-locked after rainwater flooded the engine during the passage.9:19 The repair requires removing the lower unit and using a breaker bar to manually rotate the flywheel before recalibrating the transmission control cable.12:28
