A family crew preparing to depart for the Pacific faces a scheduling conflict between their children's delayed long-stay visa applications and the April weather window.2:09 The kids' passports had to be renewed mid-process, pushing the visa timeline past the departure date.1:39 Two options are on the table: wait for the long-stay visas, skip the Galápagos, and sail directly to the Marquesas with more time in French Polynesia; or depart on schedule, stop at the Galápagos, and enter French Polynesia with only a 90-day limit and no extension possible.2:35 Meanwhile, a generator installation that was expected to be straightforward has run long — the boat was pre-wired for it, but complications have added days to the work.1:20 Crew member Connor is also completing fiberglass repairs and electrical redundancy work, including an emergency switch and bilge pump wiring.3:51 At the time of filming, the crew leans toward the Galápagos stop despite the tighter French Polynesia window, but no final decision has been made.4:24 The visa delay illustrates how a single bureaucratic lag can force a choice between a planned destination and downstream cruising margin.
