Cruising in the San Blas Islands of Panama during the wet season, the crew of Supernova undertakes several projects to weatherproof their boat against intense heat and heavy tropical rain.Watch To reduce interior temperatures, they fabricate and install custom exterior window covers using fabric, snaps, and Sikaflex sealant.5:27 They also replace degraded weather stripping on two stern hatches to stop water ingress, removing the doors to ensure a flat, clean application of sealant.25:03 To address leaking chain plates, the crew plans to install custom 3D-printed parts designed with the help of a contact from Shelter Bay Marina.35:13 They delay this repair, however, because the required Dow 795 sealant needs seven days to cure, necessitating a stable environment at a marina to prevent movement.35:28 Additionally, the crew utilizes local delivery boats in the San Blas Islands to source fresh produce and supplies, noting the service's convenience for cruisers.8:24 Proper sealing and shading significantly lower the cabin temperature and improve water resistance during daily downpours.34:13
