A B&G instrument processor failure strands the crew of Plan C in Lake Worth, Florida, just before their planned crossing to Freeport, Bahamas.10:05 Early in the ICW transit south from their previous anchorage, the depth, water speed, and wind speed instruments all drop offline simultaneously.3:41 Onboard diagnosis using ChatGPT points to a failed 5-volt regulator on the B&G processor board; the unit is too old to receive adequate power.8:29 With no vehicles — the crew had just put their cars in storage as a final commitment to the liveaboard life — they retrieve the drop-shipped replacement part from a UPS store via dinghy and Uber.10:21 While waiting, they motor out the inlet to pump the black-water holding tanks offshore and practice sailing.10:52 A recurring dinghy leak compounds the delay: soapy-water leak detection finds the puncture, a Hypalon glue repair is attempted, and the dinghy deflates again, requiring a second repair using halyards to hoist it back on deck.18:48 The crew also dives the hull to inspect the paddle-wheel speed sensor and clears the inlet to dump holding tanks.20:35 The episode ends at Thanksgiving with the B&G part in hand but the Bahamas crossing not yet made.22:53 Losing shore transport before a critical part fails forces a dinghy-and-Uber logistics chain that adds days to a weather-dependent departure.
