The crew of the Dufour sailboat *Blue Prince* prepares for departure from a Caribbean marina while managing a series of maintenance setbacks. The primary obstacle involves a seized bolt on the outboard motor mount for their dinghy, which prevents them from mounting the engine necessary for shore access.26:45 After failing to loosen the bolt with WD-40 and heat from a culinary torch, the crew spends an extra night in the marina at a cost of 51 euros to continue repairs.41:22 They eventually achieve enough movement in the bolt to secure the motor, despite the thread being stripped from previous damage.44:19 Additional tasks include provisioning 330 euros worth of non-perishable goods, oiling interior woodwork, and attempting to service a sophisticated life raft, which they postpone until its expiration date due to high maintenance costs and long lead times.32:10 High winds at the marina entrance further complicate their planned departure.44:32
