To ensure epoxy cures in freezing temperatures, they construct an airtight, heated tent system over the boat. Repairs include replacing a leaking aft deck shower tap that caused the water pump to cycle continuously, installing sacrificial anodes on the rudder box to mitigate galvanic corrosion between carbon and stainless steel components, and general galley upgrades.7:13 The crew secures the vessel against high winds during snowstorms using heavy-duty cargo straps attached to 1,000-liter water drums and additional hull stands.4:43 Logistical planning for an upcoming voyage through the Mariana Islands and Micronesia involves coordinating crew changes in remote locations and managing strict timelines to avoid the typhoon season.1:15 The project highlights the challenges of performing major structural and mechanical work in sub-zero conditions.
