Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Aboard the ETAC 38 Odin, anchored at Boavista in the Cape Verde archipelago, the owner covers boat maintenance, provisioning, and daily life ashore. On the maintenance side, he removes the mainsail to inspect and re-stitch failing seams at the batten pockets, planning three reinforcing rows of stitching and a full inspection before re-seaming with a sewing machine.24:24 He treats a heavily rusted dinghy chain using 25% phosphoric acid solution, lets it dry without rinsing, then plans two coats of ferrose rust converter; he notes the galvanizing is completely gone and that no surface treatment reliably replaces galvanizing in a salt environment.17:40 He also removes non-galvanized stern fairleads, applies rust inhibitor and paint, and fabricates a small housing for a cigarette-lighter socket.20:01 For provisioning, he tests yogurt made from powdered milk (13% fat, 125 g per 900 ml water), confirms it sets as firmly as yogurt from fresh semi-skimmed milk, and prices the powder at 600 escudos per kilo locally.16:22 A 30-euro grocery run yields a week's worth of food including chicken, sausages, vegetables, and cheese; he plans to vacuum-seal the cooked chicken for preservation.25:56 Ashore, he attends a Cape Verdean music concert, joins a beach barbecue with French, German, and Swiss cruisers, visits a small archaeology museum (23 euros, dismissed as poor value), and gets a haircut for two euros.12:46
