Maya and Aladino haul out Magic Carpet, their Cape George, at Shelter Island near the Fraser River after a nine-month cruise along the Canadian coastline — arriving through 10 nautical miles of dense fog from Steveston with 180-meter cargo ships visible only on AIS.▶ 1:19 The haul-out is elective: the boat performed well, with only a failed fridge in Port McNeill and a failed alternator in Euclid requiring attention underway.▶ 2:51 The primary driver was logistics for shipping 1,000 copies of Maya's book about the British Columbia voyage.▶ 3:08 Aladino tours the hull and reports Coppercoat antifouling produced only easy-to-remove green slime after two months without scrubbing, while uncoated areas collected barnacles.▶ 4:55 Zincs lasted nine months without replacement, though the shaft zinc erodes unevenly and rattles loose, requiring periodic tightening with an allen key while diving.▶ 6:19 A teak flue trim ring cracked from heat and moisture cycling, leaking onto a cushion; Aladino replaced it with plywood.▶ 11:53 Planned refit work includes installing a used Monitor wind vane (brackets sourced directly from Monitor for the Cape George transom) and a new watermaker ahead of a planned 2026 passage to Mexico.▶ 3:36 Solar panel expansion is under consideration but remains experimental.▶ 13:05
