Josh and Tallulah leave Nandji - Frothlyfe on a mooring in Phuket, Thailand, for roughly two months while they return to Australia for Christmas — their first break from continuous liveaboard life in seven years.0:29 Before departing, Josh wraps the propeller shaft in plastic bags as a trial method to inhibit marine growth in place of prop speed or antifouling, noting strong current at the mooring site.5:19 He pickles the watermaker membranes with a flushing agent, running the cycle for 45 minutes before departure; the system produces water at 180 litres per hour at 180–300 ppm, with membranes still performing well despite years of prior disuse.12:38 Cushions are wrapped in cling film to prevent mould in the humid tropical climate, and full boat covers — a previously undiscovered feature of Nandji - Frothlyfe — are fitted over the entire vessel.7:48 The dog Marley stays at a small private boarding kennel in Thailand due to Australian quarantine restrictions.9:40 Back in Australia, the crew stays with friends across multiple houses, and a lost phone is recovered with the help of Find My iPhone and police.17:53 Leaving a boat in the tropics for an extended period demands systematic preparation: prop protection, watermaker pickling, moisture control for soft furnishings, and full shade covers.
