Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Darcy leaves Yvette alone on their Sunreef 62 in the BVI to work as captain on a charter powerboat for the week, and her birthday falls during that solo stretch.Watch Yvette spends the week on a series of boat-preparation tasks aimed at getting the Sunreef 62 ready for charter work. She and Darcy had already through-bolted two Sublue Vapor underwater scooters into the main galley cupboard area the night before, leaving the boat in disarray; she clears that up first.3:23 She then completes a set of interior salon cushions sewn from Sunbrella fabric, including a zipper-and-netting backing, and applies a fabric guard spray — demonstrated to bead water on contact — to protect them from stains and moisture.22:35 Teak maintenance occupies significant attention: she cleans and brightens the saloon table with a chemical cleaner and brightener, debates whether to oil the deck teak given the well-documented trade-off between appearance and grip loss, and concludes the deck teak question needs more research.9:26 A friend named Brian visits and proposes 3D-printing replacement parts and using foam fake-teak decking on the flybridge, where the existing teak is deteriorating.18:44 Work visas and passports remain held by BVI immigration, delayed further after the immigration building flooded.26:32 Darcy returns at week's end; exterior painting and sanding resume once rain clears.26:52
