Hva denne videoen dekker
Max and Claire return to their boat Namasté in Guatemala after five months away — four months road-tripping in South America plus one month in France — and find the boat heavily fouled from the humid conditions.Watch Max cleans the dinghy with oxalic acid, reinstalls the bimini and coachroof cover, and then launches a full interior refit.0:11 The forward cabin, formerly housing an old shower pan, gets a rebuilt floor with new cross-members, painted and varnished planking, a dirty-laundry locker, and a plumbed sink.0:58 The galley countertop is cut to fit and replaced entirely, leaving the boat without running water for two days during the work.4:41 A new autopilot replaces the lightning-struck unit: Max pulls all old wiring, runs new cables, connects the NMEA network via a T-connector to the GPS, and mounts the CCU in a custom protective box centered low in a cockpit locker.2:43 With the refit complete, Max and Claire travel inland with friends Jeff and Myriam to visit Tikal, where flying a drone without a permit triggers a security response — drone footage is erased on-site and a wristband is issued before the visit continues.8:16
