Catamaran glides past yachts in sunlit marina
Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Cozzy and Micho take ownership of a Leopard 40 catamaran — renamed Salty Days — at Nanny Cay Marina in the British Virgin Islands and attempt to depart on day two.▶ 0:00 Before leaving the marina, both engines fail in sequence: the port engine won't start because a halon fire extinguisher in the engine bay had been discharged and its wired interlock cut power to the motor; a mechanic accidentally discharges the starboard extinguisher the following day, triggering the same lockout.▶ 7:44 Each extinguisher costs roughly USD $1,000 to replace.▶ 7:46 The crew bypasses the starboard interlock by jumping the wires, restores engine power, fuels up, and checks out of the BVI using SailClear for the online portion before presenting passports and a bill of sale at the customs dock in Road Town, Tortola.▶ 12:00 They motor 20 nautical miles to Gorda, anchor overnight, then depart at 0300 for an 80-nautical-mile passage to St. Martin — 17 hours beating into 18-knot headwinds under motor the entire way.▶ 18:41 On arrival they hoist the quarantine flag and go ashore to check in; customs impounds Salty Days for two weeks because the crew carries only a bill of sale, not Australian vessel registration.▶ 24:20 Buying a boat on a bill of sale alone is insufficient for Caribbean customs clearance.
