¿Qué cubre este video?
The crew of the catamaran Big Lost experiences a significant delay in their departure from Guatemala while awaiting a battery monitoring system (BMS) for their new Victron Energy lithium-ion battery bank.8:24 Although six batteries arrived as scheduled, the missing BMS prevents installation and forces the crew to remain in the Rio Dulce area for an additional week.8:35 During this wait, the crew performs maintenance tasks, including cleaning a faulty black tank sensor and addressing a leaking port light window in the midship cabin.12:19 The window’s Sikaflex sealant has failed, causing water damage to the surrounding wood, and the lack of local supplies like Sikaflex primer complicates the repair.12:57 The crew plans to install the BMS upon arrival, test the electrical system, and then clear out of the country to sail toward Utila in the Bay Islands of Honduras.14:36
