Before departure, the bilge fills with water to the level of the batteries due to a malfunctioning electric bilge pump and backflow issues.10:09 After bypassing the pump with a temporary hose and repairing a broken wire, the autopilot fails.16:49 The owner attempts a field repair on the autopilot drive unit by replacing a broken pin with a bolt, which provides limited steering capability.17:56 During the transit, the wind dies, forcing the vessel to motor toward Dominica.20:19 The passage plan shifts from Guadeloupe to Dominica to account for wind direction and the need for rest.19:39 The bilge remains dry after the pump repair, and the vessel successfully reaches Dominica.19:17 The owner notes that frequent equipment failures during solo passages improve his technical knowledge of the boat.21:59
