Dean and Tess, new liveaboard owners of an unnamed 32-foot sailboat on the west coast of British Columbia, Canada, document their first weeks aboard as multiple problems surface immediately. Two cabin lights fail on day two; two interior leaks appear, traced to a missing port-side window temporarily covered with a garbage bag.0:48 The previous owner is bringing a replacement window and a non-running dinghy outboard.1:33 A cracked caulking gun derails the window installation twice, leaving a tarp and tape as the temporary fix.10:19 A water pump with loose bolts and a leaking hose is discovered during pre-departure engine checks before their first solo motor — the find confirms the value of the previous owner's three-page engine checklist.6:44 Their first docking attempt goes poorly; a later solo attempt succeeds.8:13 The insurance deadline forces a transit through a tidal narrows to Maple Bay Marina for a haulout survey.11:46 The surveyor finds no major structural issues, no hull blistering, and tells them they got a good deal.17:20 They raise sails briefly on the return leg.21:08 The episode closes with a new problem: diesel contamination in the engine oil.23:17
