Ce que couvre cette vidéo
The crew of Big Lost, a former charter vessel, arrived at the Río Dulce in Guatemala to perform extensive refits for liveaboard use.16:36 The boat, which has an 87-foot mast height, cannot reach the haul-out facilities at the local boatyards because of a bridge and low-hanging power lines.25:38 Consequently, the crew is conducting all maintenance while anchored in the river, including engine overhauls, solar arch installation, and navigation equipment upgrades.25:44 They hired a local representative for $38 per day to manage contractors and overcome language barriers.26:56 The crew also faces challenges with local water quality, as the river water is non-potable and requires a specialized setup for their onboard water maker.27:07 They relocated from Nanajuana Marina to Ram Marina due to restrictive policies regarding outside contractors.28:29 The region experiences frequent rain and intense lightning storms, which recently struck two nearby vessels.31:15 The crew continues to evaluate the risks of attempting to pass under the bridge for a future bottom job.30:37
