A cruising couple aboard their sailboat in Caipos, Costa Rica, faces a series of mechanical and logistical setbacks while preparing for a passage toward the Panama Canal. The crew struggles with a recurring bilge pump failure and a malfunctioning battery bank, which they attribute to faulty Renogy batteries that fail to accept a charge from the alternator.▶ 10:47 After attempting to reset the system through engine cycling, they successfully restore battery function.▶ 12:29 The crew also manages a norovirus outbreak on board, which complicates shore access due to strict marina regulations in the Caipos area.▶ 2:16 They eventually secure transport to shore using a water taxi service found via the No Foreign Land app.▶ 4:02 After resolving these issues, the boat departs for a 20-nautical-mile coastal transit to Uvita, anchoring in 25 feet of water with a 6:1 scope.▶ 14:07 The crew notes the presence of crocodiles in local estuaries and advises caution when landing dinghies near river mouths.▶ 23:55
