The crew of Blue Pearl replaces their failed marine refrigeration system with a 110-volt household refrigerator after a technician identifies high-power spikes from the old unit as the cause of their inverter-charger’s repeated safe-mode shutdowns.1:13 While anchored in shallow water near La Paz, Mexico, the boat touches bottom, causing the rudder to shift and the steering quadrant to drop.17:07 This misalignment forces the steering cable out of its track, where it becomes trapped and shreds against the structural steel.17:28 The crew loses steering while maneuvering into the Costa Baja fuel dock.12:20 Don Rigging performs an emergency repair using available parts to restore steering, allowing the vessel to depart the dock the following morning.14:58 After the repair, the crew successfully sails 40 nautical miles from La Paz to San Francisco, Mexico, maintaining speeds between three and seven knots.19:44 The crew attributes the steering failure to their own error in anchoring in water too shallow for the tidal range and wind conditions.16:53
