They rent a car to visit the Super U on the French side for bulk dry goods, noting that fresh produce and meat are expensive or limited.2:13 The crew clears the aft berth of stored gear, stowing heavy items near the waterline and lighter supplies in the V-berth to optimize weight distribution for the passage. Technical tasks include an oil change, sourcing a Cat5 cable for the radar at Electech, and purchasing additional webbing for the cockpit dodger. They supplement the boat's 80-gallon diesel capacity with 15 gallons in jerry cans stored in the cockpit. While waiting for a weather window, they visit Orient Bay to support the local economy following Hurricane Irma.5:08 The crew concludes their stay with final fuel runs to Island Waterworld and social gatherings at Lagoonies before departing for the Azores.
