A couple preparing to depart Tahiti faces a series of delays caused by persistent rain, a medical emergency, and equipment maintenance. After two weeks of continuous rainfall and 94% humidity, the crew focuses on interior boat projects, including organizing a medical kit and performing an extensive provisioning run for non-perishable goods.13:27 Tom, the captain, suffers from a combination of dengue fever and liver complications resulting from medication used to treat a persistent foot fungus. While waiting for his recovery, the crew performs maintenance on the boat’s water pump, specifically replacing a fragile seal. They plan to sail toward Moorea once the captain regains his health, with future route considerations involving a choice between Tonga and Samoa.
