While anchored in Collo, Algeria, the boat’s marine toilet becomes completely blocked, forcing a manual disassembly of the pump and discharge hoses.0:25 Inspection reveals the blockage consists of heavy calcium carbonate buildup, which has hardened into stone-like deposits inside the pump mechanism and rubber valves.1:35 The repair involves scraping the calcified material out with a screwdriver and soaking components in vinegar to dissolve the remaining residue.3:05 After clearing the obstruction, the pump regains full functionality, allowing seawater to flow and waste to evacuate properly.5:51 During the stay in port, a sudden, unforecasted squall hits the area with wind gusts reaching 30 to 40 knots, causing significant disruption on shore.6:37 The weather delay provides the necessary time to complete the plumbing repair in calm conditions rather than at sea.6:20 The surrounding port of Collo features a large breakwater and mountainous terrain, serving as a staging point for a planned transit toward Tunisia.8:16
