Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Bohemen departs Flamenco Marina in Panama on a second attempt to reach the Galápagos after earlier generator problems delayed the passage.0:06 Within minutes of starting the newly purchased generator, oil leaks from two points on the oil tank — a crack and a loose screw.3:01 The crew patches the leaks with sealant and manages the generator in short runs of roughly ten minutes, enough to hold battery voltage above 24V for just over an hour at a time, with night watches timed around manually starting it after solar input drops.3:40 Diesel runs low mid-passage, forcing a stop to refuel before the margin to Galápagos disappears.8:39 Boobies land on the boat overnight and foul the deck repeatedly, becoming a recurring nuisance the crew cannot shake.9:52 One day out from Galápagos and five hours from the equator, the crew swims off the boat, then marks the equator crossing with a celebratory dinner and drinks.14:14 A replacement generator with a cracked oil tank forces improvised patch repairs and strict battery management throughout an offshore passage.
