Cosa tratta questo video
Armand and Liya, sailing the 35-ft sailboat *Cosmo*, perform a series of maintenance projects in La Paz, Mexico, while dealing with recurring mechanical issues. After six weeks at anchor, they clean the hull and address persistent leaks in the cabin windows and jib cars using 3M 4000UV and Sikaflex 290.6:30 They replace a cracked acrylic window by creating a template for a local fabricator.4:18 The couple then hauls out the boat at Rob Cross Marine to inspect the sail drive, where they discover a previous mechanic improperly used a chisel to force open a seal, causing internal damage.10:18 They also attempt to tighten a wobbly rudder by adjusting the upper bearing collar, though the issue persists.11:36 Following the haul-out, a sudden storm causes multiple vessels in the anchorage to drag their anchors.14:38 Armand attempts to assist a drifting, unmanned boat, but the rescue effort escalates into a chaotic collision involving other cruisers and a local Navy vessel.19:06 The experience highlights the risks of intervening in complex, high-pressure emergency situations without adequate support.
