Steve and Annette complete two major galley upgrades aboard their Venus ketch, Cordelia, during a refit at Rio Dulce, Guatemala, after sailing 1,500 miles across the Caribbean.0:25 A local carpenter, Jose, installs new teak cupboard doors with interior shelves; quartz countertops replace the originals, with access maintained above a diesel tank via an inspection plate.1:02 The old top-opening freezer is removed and replaced with a flush worktop.3:52 Steve installs larger portlights on the boat's midships section, routing out the hull openings, repairing delaminated plywood with West System epoxy, and finishing with three coats of grey primer before dry-fitting the new lights with friction hinges.12:58 A French sailmaker named Chloe returns two repaired genoas — one had its clew ring torn out during the St. Martin–Guatemala crossing — with new UV strips fitted.5:47 Throughout, the crew lives aboard amid headlining panels, tools, and displaced gear, sleeping on improvised beds and using the marina's communal showers and kitchen rather than the boat's own facilities.19:08 The next episode will cover a new lithium battery cupboard installation and cockpit cushion reveal.24:51 Managing access to tanks and structural repairs before painting saves router bits and avoids rework.
