Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Garrett and Ruth return to their red wooden George Buehler, Red Aviva, at Puerto Escondido, Baja California, after a four-week absence — this time on one-way tickets, signaling a permanent return aboard.Watch They flew 42.5 pounds of engine parts through customs, including a new heat exchanger, gaskets, a replacement hose (the original failed after a summer in Baja heat), extra belts, and a prop puller for an upcoming underwater prop swap.2:34 Batteries installed in 2019 read 13.9 volts on arrival despite solar panels fouled with bird droppings.1:42 Both Garrett and Ruth free-dive to scrape the hull at anchor; Ruth notes it was her first time scraping the bottom, visibility was poor, and buoyancy made reaching the deep sections difficult.10:51 They complete the full bottom despite not expecting to.12:34 The plan: spend a week or less at Puerto Escondido's newly expanded marina — which now includes high-end megayacht docks — rent a car, provision from Loreto (20 minutes away), then move north leisurely for two weeks.14:08 Garrett installs the heat exchanger dockside.18:42 On wooden boats with old diesels, the crew frames success as "manageable leaks," not zero leaks.14:54
