Bobby and his crew prepare their 62-foot vessel, Doodles, for launch in Beaufort, North Carolina, by replacing the windlass and reupholstering the dinette cushions.0:04 The original windlass, a large unit with a one-directional worm gear, is removed and replaced with a smaller, 2,000-pound-rated Maxwell windlass.1:41 The installation requires cutting a seized bolt and modifying the mounting surface to accommodate the new unit's bolt length.6:46 Bobby also sources a center console for a Highfield dinghy from Macotter’s Marina in Oriental, North Carolina, which offers a 35-ton travel lift and retail services for ICW travelers.10:19 Upon launching Doodles at Ted and Todd’s Marine, the crew encounters a port-side bow thruster failure while navigating away from a shoal near the dock.15:35 Bobby compensates for the loss of the thruster by using prop walk to maneuver the vessel to the fuel dock at Homer Smith Docks and Marina.15:56 The crew confirms the vessel is ready for a southward passage toward the Bahamas and the Caribbean.20:20
