O que este vídeo aborda
The crew of the catamaran Wind Therapy navigates the British Virgin Islands, transiting from Peter Island to North Sound, Virgin Gorda, and eventually Anegada.1:40 During the passage to North Sound, the crew manages high windage and tight clearances near the Dogs, relying on a favorable wind shift to maintain their course.4:25 While anchored at Trellis Bay, the generator fails due to a shredded impeller.8:03 The crew troubleshoots the cooling system by checking the seacock and booster pump for blockages before identifying the damaged impeller.11:01 Lacking a specialized puller, they remove the impeller fragments using a flathead screwdriver and clear debris from the surrounding hoses.8:30 After reassembly, the generator resumes normal operation at 180 degrees.12:20 The crew also discovers water intrusion in the forepeak bilge while accessing spare parts.13:06 They conclude the trip with a sail to Anegada, where they visit the conch graveyard at Fisherman’s Wharf and spend Christmas Day.13:46 Regular annual replacement of impellers prevents mid-passage cooling failures.12:25
