O que este vídeo aborda
Djé and Nad visit the Martinique Boat Show (Fort-de-France) aboard their catamaran Mister Tong, touring a Bali 4.2 and a Nautitech 46 OPEN without buying.2:23 They note the show's relaxed atmosphere — no sales pressure, open boarding — contrasting it with larger French shows like Cannes and Canet-Roussillon where visitors had to submit paperwork before stepping aboard.2:40 Back on Mister Tong, they run their newly installed washing machine for the first time during overcast, rainy conditions, tracking battery consumption throughout the 65-minute heavy cycle.18:46 Starting at 86.7% charge, the machine draws under 300 watts; the solar panels continue charging at 280 watts net, and the batteries finish higher than they started — no generator or engine required.25:31 Water consumption for the heavy cycle runs roughly 18–20 liters.26:45 They also discuss an ongoing portlight leak: the original epoxy-protected cut edges were not laminated, water is re-entering, and Djé has purchased a router (affleureuse) to round and widen the frame channels before resealing with 6K sealant.38:38 Anchored through a tropical wave bringing gusts to 25 knots, they monitor a drag alarm and note the chain alone is holding — a concern if a sudden 30-knot squall arrives.33:43 Running a washing machine on solar alone, without a generator, is confirmed feasible even in low-light tropical weather.
