The crew of the Oyster 53 *Millennial Falcon* completed a 1,546-mile delivery to the British Virgin Islands, arriving at a marina in Tortola after a 10-day passage.3:20 During the transit, the vessel experienced recurring electrical failures where the 24-volt battery bank discharged rapidly within hours of disconnecting from a charge source.7:32 Despite replacing the entire battery bank, the issue persisted until an electrician discovered loose terminals mid-bank.10:51 The cables had been cut to precise lengths, creating a clean appearance that masked poor continuity; the loose connections intermittently split the bank, causing voltage to drop under load.12:16 The crew confirmed the fix by cycling the system through multiple charge and discharge tests.11:40 Additional transit issues included a detached exhaust hose and a depleted gas supply.0:40 The crew spent their final days in the BVI cleaning the vessel for the owner and preparing for international travel, including a customs delay in Puerto Rico caused by undeclared banana bread.16:09
