Ce que couvre cette vidéo

The Meder family — Rocio, Herman, and their three children — have lived aboard their sailboat Kira-Kira for nearly 10 years, currently based at Saco de Uceu on Isla Grande.Watch A southerly front with strong winds kept them aboard and prompted reflection on why they chose liveaboard life: freedom, raising children on their own terms, constant contact with nature, and the ability to relocate simply by re-anchoring.0:45 The episode also covers two practical maintenance tasks. Herman runs the diesel cabin heater — a motorhome-type unit with an aluminum housing, self-installed, with a 3-liter fuel tank — for 15–20 minutes to prevent the diaphragm pump's spring and ball from seizing after months of disuse in warm climates.3:31 He then diagnoses a failed pressure-activated water pump, disassembles the switch head, and identifies the fault as a small, inexpensive electronic micro-switch available at any electronics shop — not the pump itself.6:37 He notes this switch is the most common water-pump failure on liveaboards and recommends carrying several spares.6:37 The family's three children, now older, have independently chosen to continue the nomadic lifestyle.8:35
