Cosa tratta questo video
Sailing north through Indonesian waters toward Malaysia aboard the Lagoon 450 Parlay Revival, Colin and crew face deteriorating low-season weather with squall after squall delivering 20–32 knots directly on the nose. A forecast error sends them into sustained upwind bashing for 10 hours instead of the expected half-day window out of the Banyaks toward Similu Island.▶ 4:26 A forward hatch with failing seals leaks badly as green water washes over the bow, flooding the cabin.▶ 6:05 Mid-passage, Jamie discovers one engine producing no cooling water discharge.▶ 9:13 He isolates the fault by testing raw-water flow at the intake valve, then pulls the impeller — nearly every fin is missing.▶ 10:53 He recovers the broken fins from the heat exchanger end caps, installs a new impeller with grease, and restores partial cooling flow; a seized bolt prevents full heat exchanger cleaning, so the engine is babied the rest of the way to Malaysia.▶ 11:53 The 50-mile leg takes 18 hours at a 2.8-knot average, forcing a night arrival at Similu anchorage — a wide open bay with one unmarked FAD that Parlay Revival passes within 10 meters.▶ 14:16 A failed impeller with fins lodged in the heat exchanger can be partially remedied at sea, but a seized end-cap bolt limits the repair until a proper port stop.
