Hva denne videoen dekker
Max and Claire arrive at the marina of San Frugos, Cuba, aboard their Jeanneau Sun Fizz 40 after 10 days at sea without internet or shore access.Watch A neighboring pontoon boat lends them a replacement autopilot, but its C-TALK wiring is incompatible with the boat's NMEA network, so Max cuts and solders new connections to make it work.0:28 A solar panel and its MPPT regulator were also found dead — damage traced to a lightning strike — and fellow sailor Ronan, a solar installation specialist, helps reconfigure two surviving panels in series on the remaining regulator, restoring enough power for batteries and refrigerator.4:11 Max also reinstalls the wind vane self-steering, untested since its original fitting.8:49 The crew plans a 40-nautical-mile passage south to trial both the autopilot and the wind vane.8:17 Shore excursions include Trinidad by private taxi with driver Yuri, the El Nicho national park waterfalls (€10 entry, eight cascades), a Saturday street market called La Feria where €10 buys mangoes, pineapples, and onions, and two days in Havana — old-town walking, a vintage-car tour negotiated down from €30 to €20 per hour, and meals for two at €8.1:21 Cuba does not stamp passports, and Max avoids booking Airbnb to prevent a US-traceable record before a planned transit through the United States.2:35
