O que este vídeo aborda
A watermaker membrane failure aboard the sailing vessel Wildly Intrepid dominates a week of repairs and provisioning in Marigot Bay, Saint Martin.9:52 Cory replaces the end caps first, sourced from Sea Water Pro in Florida, but pressure testing at 500 PSI still produces 9,000–9,999 parts per million — far above drinking quality — confirming the membrane is fouled, likely from oil contamination in the anchorage or from the O-rings seizing during a previous removal.13:23 Cory buys a replacement membrane directly from Electec on the island, paying roughly $100 more than Amazon pricing to avoid shipping delays.14:02 Installing the new membrane proves tight — the O-ring seats harder than the old one — raising the possibility the original membrane was intact and the O-ring was bypassing pressure all along, but the membrane is already open so the new one goes in.15:32 Sea Water Pro's Mike had shipped replacement parts under warranty throughout the process, notable given the watermaker is only one year old.9:51 Separately, the crew attempts a hike to a nearby mountain peak, but Kai and Alex are stung multiple times by wasps, Alex's ankle swelling severely enough to question a mild allergic reaction.3:49 Provisioning at Carrefour and Super U yields $300 in groceries at some of the Caribbean's cheapest prices.8:18 The stay ends with a Mardi des Grands Causes parade before the boat sails toward Ceiba.7:09
