The crew of the Lagoon 450 *Parlay Revival* prepares for a 2,600-mile Pacific crossing from Mexico to the Marquesas Islands, only to face a critical rigging failure days before departure. While conducting a final rig inspection at La Cruz Marina, a professional rigger identifies a hairline crack in a cap shroud swage fitting, evidenced by rust seepage.18:07 The discovery forces the crew to delay their passage, as the required 16mm stainless steel standing rigging is unavailable in Mexico and must be sourced from the United States.18:33 Prior to this setback, the crew completed extensive preparations, including provisioning for eight people and two dogs, installing a Starlink maritime dish, and replacing all running rigging with Dyneema lines from Precision Sails.8:13 They also inflated new inflatable fenders from PYI and performed a break-in procedure on a new 9.8hp Tohatsu outboard for their Highfield dinghy.15:52 The crew now faces a narrow seasonal weather window to complete the crossing.18:53
