Hva denne videoen dekker
Aubrey and the crew of Miss Lone Star are working south along the Mexican Pacific coast toward the Panama Canal, anchoring at San Angel (Puerto Ángel) and San Agustín while managing a series of mechanical problems.3:12 The stuffing box continues to leak; Aubrey judges the drip rate acceptable and defers a proper fix until a Panama haulout, attributing the leak to engine alignment rather than the shaft seal itself.6:20 The alternator stops charging the battery bank despite the Balmar display showing voltage — Aubrey traces the fault to a corroded ground wire and sands the connection.9:55 The generator, left on the dock for a full season by a previous caretaker named Esteban, is heavily rusted and malfunctioning at the on/off switch; Aubrey considers replacing it with either a $20,000 installed genset or a Honda Whisper generator at $3,800.10:54 Jordan swaps the bilge pump for a diaphragm pump Aubrey had already repaired.7:24 At Puerto Ángel, the crew receives a ZARP — the Mexican port check-in/check-out document — from officials who were unfamiliar with the process.4:47 The crew anchors in 36 feet on 125 feet of chain.3:45 The upcoming Tehuantepec crossing is the next major waypoint, with Aubrey noting a previous failed attempt at Chiapas point.13:15
