The crew of the 36-ft sailboat *Atlas* prepares for a 4,000-mile Pacific Ocean crossing from Panama to Nuku Hiva, French Polynesia, while dealing with significant maintenance failures and provisioning challenges. During a DIY project, a crew member leaves a salt water sink pipe disconnected without closing the seacock, causing the bilge to flood completely.5:25 The crew also abandons plans to install a custom waste holding tank after realizing the plumbing configuration conflicts with existing sink space.8:30

To support a planned 50-day passage, the crew increases their water storage capacity to 500 liters by supplementing their 360-liter tank with 10-liter bags and 25-liter blue barrels, which allow for weight distribution throughout the hull.17:35 They spend approximately $400 on bulk food supplies, prioritizing canned goods to mitigate high costs in French Polynesia.16:47 Using Windy.com, the crew identifies the doldrums as the primary navigational challenge, noting that they must motor or drift through light winds to reach the trade winds south of the Galapagos Islands.18:49
