Steve and Annette are mid-refit on their Venus ketch in the Ria Dulce, Guatemala, with an April 8 departure deadline, when their daughter Trina arrives with three days' notice after travelling 6,400 miles.0:26 The couple stops all work for a week to spend time with her, then returns to find themselves eight weeks out with three major jobs unfinished: varnishing, headlining replacement, and a lithium battery install.10:42 The varnish prep work — stripping old varnish with a hot-air gun, scraping with tungsten carbide blades, and hand-sanding teak and veneer surfaces — is behind schedule; they hired a local helper named Oscar to accelerate the sanding.2:42 Annette repairs a boom cover zip using a Sailrite machine that fails electrically, forcing her to sew it manually.7:23 The lithium battery installation is the job causing the most anxiety: Steve has not reviewed the plans in six months and is uncertain about the ancillary components needed to make the system work.15:14 With eight weeks remaining, the couple sets a milestone of completing all sanding by February 18 before moving to headlining and the battery install.12:35
