Technical tasks include an oil change, sourcing a Cat5 cable for the radar at Electech, and purchasing additional webbing for the cockpit dodger. They supplement the boat's 80-gallon diesel capacity with 15 gallons in jerry cans stored in the cockpit. While waiting for a weather window, they visit Orient Bay to support the local economy following Hurricane Irma.5:08 The crew concludes their stay with final fuel runs to Island Waterworld and social gatherings at Lagoonies before departing for the Azores.
