O que este vídeo aborda
Anchored at La Manzanilla on Mexico's Pacific coast, the crew of Miss Lone Star works through two mechanical failures while waiting for parts to arrive from La Paz.1:53 The primary problem is a leaking Jabsco raw water pump: the bushing and seal kit needed to rebuild it is unavailable locally, so Jordan arranges for friends in La Paz to source the parts from a marine store and courier them to the boat.10:13 While waiting, the crew rebuilds a spare pump unit to use as a temporary replacement, planning to swap it in and limp to a calmer anchorage rather than sit exposed with no dock or haul-out nearby.10:43 A second issue surfaces on the generator, which loses RPMs and dies after roughly 30 minutes of running.11:16 Inspection reveals rust particles from a corroded fuel cap contaminating the tank and inline fuel filter; without a replacement cap, the problem has no immediate fix.12:20 The anchorage at La Manzanilla is described as rolly enough to prevent sleep, prompting a planned move to Tanakitita before continuing to Manzanillo.3:58 Getting parts to remote Mexican anchorages requires creative logistics — local contacts and staged repairs are the practical workaround.
