Drake fabricates a custom polyethylene washer to eliminate vertical play in the rudder shaft of his sailboat, Paragon.7:23 Following advice from Bud Taplin, he uses a 3-5/8-inch hole saw to cut a donut-shaped spacer, which he then slits to fit around the shaft between the rudder and the hull.7:13 He performs the installation by scuba diving under the boat in Gloucester Harbour.8:05 During the dive, he inspects the hull and zincs, though he abandons a dropped screwdriver due to poor visibility.18:48 The crew also spends the day provisioning, stowing supplies, and debating the removal of an underutilized air conditioner to save space.6:12 Monique confirms she has passed her university dissertation while the boat is docked.12:42 The rudder repair successfully addresses the movement caused by previous groundings, and the crew prepares for an upcoming departure to Greenland.3:16
