Cosa tratta questo video

A juvenile porcupine found walking on Big Lost's solar panels shortly after departing Shelter Bay Marina forced the crew to radio the dockmaster and return to the fuel dock, where the animal eventually fell into the water.1:34 The incident opened a family visit by the narrator's mother and stepfather Steve — their first exposure to liveaboard life, after a year and a half apart.21:18 The passage covered the Atlantic coast of Panama from Shelter Bay to Portobello, then to the San Blas Islands, stopping at Chichime and the Swimming Pool anchorage before ending at Green Island for the family's panga departure to the airport.16:03 Under sail with a full main and code 55, Big Lost logged 8–10 knots in 14–15 knots of true wind.8:16 A watermaker leak in a quarter-inch PEX pipe triggered a low-pressure shutdown; the crew wrapped the pipe with rescue tape rated to 950 psi before considering cutting and re-fitting the line.4:12 Water from the leak reached the Victron battery box and tripped the Orion DC-to-DC charger — the third replacement under warranty, with the root cause still unresolved.6:18 Connor caught a keeper tuna on the passage to San Blas.11:11 The crew navigated between two squalls by splitting the gap visually.9:20
