Hva denne videoen dekker
Brittany and Jeremiah cross the Gulf Stream from the Bahamas back to the U.S. aboard their catamaran Calypso, ending Season 13 and beginning a refit period before long-term cruising resumes.▶ 0:32 The return passage is calm, arriving around 1 p.m. — earlier than the planned 5:30 p.m. ETA because the Gulf Stream added speed.▶ 9:40 They clear U.S. customs using the Roam app and plan to move up the ICW to avoid incoming thunderstorms.▶ 2:33 On passage, Brittany and Jeremiah discuss why this shakedown — their first extended cruise since a major electrical upgrade and the addition of toddler Brynn — was the hardest in nine years of cruising.▶ 4:29 Jeremiah developed new health issues including asthma, shortness of breath, and heat-related anxiety.▶ 4:46 Their refit list covers four major items: a replacement watermaker (they departed without membranes for the second unit), a life raft recertification or replacement, expanded solar capacity to run AC and ease Jeremiah's heat sensitivity, and toddler safety improvements so baby gates are no longer required for Brynn's safety on deck.▶ 7:29 Routine haulout work — bottom paint and cutless bearings — is also planned.▶ 6:49 Cruising with a mobile toddler and a crew member managing new health conditions demands a thorough refit before offshore passages resume.
