The crew of Doodles discovers their dinghy missing at 2:00 a.m. while anchored in the Bahamas.0:29 Using a spotlight during a full moon, they locate the drifting dinghy within 15 minutes.1:09 During the return to the anchorage, the starboard engine triggers an overheat alarm, forcing the crew to limp back on the port engine.1:52 The following day, the owner spends four hours replacing the starboard engine's raw water pump impeller, a task complicated by the engine's inaccessible location, which requires removing the exhaust and splitting the pump housing.8:01 Subsequent testing reveals the original overheating alarm was caused by a faulty temperature sensor wire rather than a failed impeller.12:39 The vessel also experiences a generator failure due to a faulty anti-siphon valve and a non-responsive starter solenoid.11:12 The crew decides to head to a marina at Farmer's Cay to secure shore power for a scheduled conference call and address the remaining electrical issues.12:00
