¿Qué cubre este video?

Tom and Anissia are preparing their boat for a Panama Canal transit, working through a week-long maintenance push at a marina during rainy season. A newly delivered engine arrives by dinghy — the delivery crew even got a flat tire en route.0:03 With a mechanic, Tom replaces all fuel filters and the oil filter, performs an oil change using a manual pump, and opens the 250-liter fuel tank (holding roughly 200 liters) to inspect and clean it; the tank interior proves unexpectedly clean, suggesting clogged filters rather than tank contamination were the problem.5:51 Tom also replaces a collapsed heating hose buried in a storage locker, rewires and tidies the main electrical panel after removing the VHF exposed open holes, and pulls 25 meters of cable through the mast.3:50 Anissia coordinates parts sourcing via WhatsApp with a Panamanian contact and manages photo archives for the ship's log.4:52 She demonstrates two improvised boat meals — a spiced vegetable and plant-protein curry with coconut milk, and a wrap built from half a red onion, zucchini, black beans, feta, and a Lebanese sesame-sumac blend.11:33 Planning ahead: one more week of work, then Canal paperwork, activating the watermaker after months in storage, and moving to Colón for measurements before the transit slot.13:42
