Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Suria, a Lagoon 410 S2, spends several storm-battered weeks at anchor in Portimão, Portugal, waiting for a weather window to the Canary Islands. The port engine's starter motor burns out immediately after the boat is relaunched on Christmas Eve; Dirk replaces it with a spare the next morning, anchoring on one engine in the meantime.0:23 A broken kitchen faucet cartridge costs €6 at a hardware store.2:51 The toilet pump fails and requires an ordered replacement part.7:44 The diesel heater breaks down, and the replacement part costs more than a new Chinese unit, which Dirk orders instead.14:30 The most serious incident comes at 3 a.m. when upstream reservoir releases send a surge of debris — long branches and tree trunks — down the river, piling up on the anchor chain and rudders under enormous load; Dirk and Rigi spend an hour clearing it with boathooks before re-anchoring in a less current-exposed spot.14:30 A separate storm brings nearly 50 knots, a dragging neighbor on a collision course stopped only by fenders, and anchor watches with 80 meters of chain fully deployed.11:53 Swell blocks watermaker runs, forcing marina water runs by dinghy with jerry cans — chlorinated water kept out of the watermaker membrane.12:56
