Ann-Elin and Sam leave their boat in San Juan, Puerto Rico, for a two-day road trip to La Parguera on the island's southwest coast, renting a Nissan and planning to visit reefs, snorkel, and find a bioluminescent bay.0:22 En route, a seller calls them about a catamaran, and they detour to inspect a Leopard 47 from 1991 in a nearby harbor.2:10 The boat's exterior looks acceptable, but the interior is heavily worn from charter use — crooked cabinetry, warped doors, and poor bathrooms — and they conclude restoring it would cost too much time and money for a boat they'd want ready to sail.4:05 They also view a second boat from the outside only, which looks better but remains uninspected.4:35 The pair also buy ferry tickets to Culebra, an island between the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, for a later visit.2:06 At La Parguera they check into a small Airbnb and walk to the bioluminescent bay after dark, but moonlight and possibly the wrong season produce no visible glow — only faint reflections they attribute to wishful thinking.10:17 Heavily chartered older catamarans in the 1990s Leopard range carry visible structural wear that makes them poor candidates for a ready-to-sail purchase.
