Ce que couvre cette vidéo

The crew of the catamaran Big Lost performs maintenance and repairs while waiting for packages in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Following a rough seven-day passage, the crew identifies a cracked acrylic window in a forward cabin, caused by stress at 90-degree corner cuts that lacked a proper radius. They temporarily seal the leak with Gorilla tape until a replacement arrives in Grenada. The crew also troubleshoots a Garmin GMR18XHD radar that stopped communicating with the chart plotter; they discover an ethernet cable disconnected from a coupler under the floorboards, likely dislodged during the installation of a new dive compressor. Additionally, the crew tests the vessel's overdrive propeller system to verify performance, finding no significant speed increase in choppy conditions at 1860 RPM. While anchored at Honeymoon Beach on Water Island, the crew manages a foot injury sustained on the swim ladder and navigates local mooring ball concerns. They plan to motor to the British Virgin Islands to await a weather window for a passage to St. Martin.
