Jibsea departs St. Martin for an 80-nautical-mile passage to Virgin Gorda after receiving a delayed package.8:55 Before leaving, the crew completes final errands, including a diesel run and a DIY project to plumb the hot water heater into the engine cooling system.4:28 During the passage, the boat experiences a total instrument failure, including loss of depth, speed, and wind data.11:59 The crew traces the fault to a loose connection in a junction box and restores functionality by tightening the wiring.13:48 While sailing downwind, the crew experiments with various sail configurations, including goose-winging with the headsail and code zero, and eventually hoisting an asymmetrical spinnaker.14:43 They identify a persistent chafing issue at the masthead that threatens the spinnaker halyard but proceed with the sail anyway, using a new Dyneema line.21:53 Upon arrival, the crew discovers a discarded weather instrument tangled in the propeller.23:49 The engine-linked water heater successfully provides hot water for the first time.25:49
