¿Qué cubre este video?

A couple preparing for a Pacific crossing in Barra de Navidad, Mexico, completes three major refit projects: repairing a windlass, installing a Hydrovane, and sewing a custom stack pack. The windlass, which had become unresponsive, required only cleaning of the electrical contacts rather than replacement parts.1:50 To install the Hydrovane, the crew relocated the outboard motor crane and mount from the port side to the starboard side to clear obstructions caused by the propane locker.7:01 The custom stack pack project involved measuring, cutting, and sewing fabric over two weeks, requiring multiple restarts and assistance from a fellow cruiser for sewing supplies.16:53 Additionally, the crew troubleshoots a failing Raymarine AIS 700 system by testing the NMEA 2000 backbone resistance.12:10 After identifying and replacing a faulty 120-ohm terminator, the AIS transceiver reappeared on the network, though configuration issues persisted.13:56
