O que este vídeo aborda

Mads and Ava are motoring their recently refitted, hurricane-damaged catamaran, Spiffy, from Melbourne, Florida, toward Oriental, North Carolina, via the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW). After splashing the boat, the crew completed the initial 50-hour engine break-in period for the rebuilt Yanmar engines.▶ 5:29 During the transit, Mads addressed a loose alternator bracket and identified a small diesel leak on the port engine fuel line.▶ 11:24 The starboard engine exhibits vibrations caused by a damaged propeller, which occurred when the boat struck an underwater object during launch.▶ 16:25 The crew uses a Mantus M2 anchor for overnight stops and employs a portable oil extractor for maintenance.▶ 1:28 They advise avoiding busy ICW sections near major cities during weekends to minimize traffic.▶ 14:58 The pair plans to complete the final 200 miles of the journey to North Carolina to begin structural and interior repairs.▶ 15:41
