Aubrey returns to Barra Navidad, Mexico, aboard Miss Lone Star with an all-female crew including Jordan, a baby named Violet, and a crew member named Savannah — the same anchorage where, while seven months pregnant on a previous visit, she grounded the boat in the estuary channel. A local contact named Danny takes the crew on a scouting tour aboard his boat Ahoy to show the correct channel entry and help avoid repeating the grounding on shifting sandbars.2:42 Aubrey also diagnoses and fixes white exhaust smoke by identifying a leaking bleed nut on the fuel injector — not the fuel injector bell filter she initially suspected — after a FaceTime call with her father.4:15 A new outboard, a Christmas gift from her father, replaces the previous one.2:53 A carburetor needle problem on the generator leads to a dockside search for a local mechanic.9:47 Aubrey describes the emotional weight of repeated mechanical delays — a water pump issue and parts wait had kept the boat in the region for weeks — and the pressure she feels when breakdowns hurt crew morale.12:36 A nighttime security concern prompts locking the companionway and keeping deck lights on.5:38
