The crew of the sailboat Wally, a couple who recently completed extensive engine repairs, transits the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) to St. Augustine, Florida.3:16 During the passage, they perform a capacity test on their two-year-old, 280-amp-hour AGM battery bank.3:18 By running their desktop computer on the inverter until the voltage drops, they determine the bank holds approximately 70 to 80 amp hours, roughly 25 percent of its original capacity.6:46 They attribute this degradation to high temperatures in the engine compartment and inconsistent charging cycles.5:42 Upon arriving in St. Augustine, they anchor near the Castillo de San Marcos and utilize the St. Augustine Municipal Marina dinghy dock for $12 per day.10:13 The crew experiences recurring issues with neighboring vessels dragging anchor in the crowded anchorage, forcing them to relocate their boat twice to maintain a safe distance.17:25 They also visit a local consignment shop, the Sailor Exchange, to browse used marine equipment.12:46
