O que este vídeo aborda
Cozzy's atrial fibrillation reverted out of normal rhythm before the couple left St Martin, forcing an unplanned medical detour that splits the crew across hemispheres.12:02 After 12 days anchored in Simpson Bay, they motor four nautical miles to Philipsburg on the Dutch side of St Martin, skipping the French side to avoid a separate check-in.0:58 Cozzy walks to St Martin Medical Centre, receives an ECG in emergency, and waits three hours while a doctor consults a cardiologist about cardioversion — which requires both an anaesthetist and a cardiologist and proves unavailable on short notice.15:22 By 5 p.m. the same day, the boat is moved back to Simpson Bay, immigration is cleared, and Cozzy boards a flight to Perth via Singapore (two full days of travel, including a 12-hour delay).15:53 She reports the hospital care as excellent but the decision to continue treatment at home as the right call.16:21 Meanwhile, Mitch stays aboard the Leopard 40 catamaran, named Waiheken, moves it to Blue Pearl Marina for solar panel and inverter installation, and tenders solo around the French side of the lagoon through Marigot Channel to Porto Koukoui, noting the large number of abandoned boats on the French side.18:36 Cardioversion attempted in a Caribbean port is not guaranteed; having a clear evacuation plan and sufficient medication supply matters.
