The crew of the sailboat *Califa* performs an extensive engine maintenance routine while anchored at Black Point in the Exumas, Bahamas, in preparation for a passage to Long Island. The primary task involves servicing the Sail Drive 60 (SB60) and addressing a recurring engine cooling system failure caused by air trapped in the lines.2:40 After struggling to bleed the system, the owner removes the thermostat valve to facilitate circulation, successfully adding 4.5 liters of coolant mixture—a 30% concentrate to 70% desalinated water ratio.15:19 The engine is tested and confirmed operational at 60–62 degrees Celsius.20:28 During the process, the owner identifies fuel contamination (sludge) in the diesel tank, which he plans to clean thoroughly once the fuel level is lower.31:30 Additionally, the crew repairs the Genoa furler after discovering a loose pressure washer.35:12 The vessel successfully navigates the challenging Black Point pass during a rising tide to reach open water, where they encounter 12-knot easterly winds and strong currents.26:31
