O que este vídeo aborda

Steve and Annette live aboard Cordelia, a Venus Ketch undergoing a refit at Monkey Bay Marina in Rio Dulce, Guatemala, six months into a project list that keeps growing.0:18 Tight finances drive them to a local swap meet to sell surplus gear, but Steve's hoarding instinct means Annette has to wrestle items out of his hands before they reach the table.1:50 Rain overnight and a quiet pre-Christmas crowd limit sales; they net £25 (roughly $30) — enough to part-pay for a pot of paint.4:49 Between swap meet trips, they haul the dinghy out using the marina's hoist to scrub five months of growth from the hull, noting that the brackish, predominantly fresh water kept fouling relatively light.8:27 The outboard is cleaned and refitted in hopes of recovering lost speed.8:55 Varnish work on the boat's port lights occupies much of the episode: Annette strips the bulk of the old varnish, then Steve sands through 80-, 100-, and 180-grit to a finish-ready surface.10:27 Three more port lights are fitted in the saloon and galley — numbers six, seven, and eight of seventeen total — leaving nine still to install.11:36 A deadline of April looms, when they plan to leave Rio Dulce for three months of sailing, with a lithium battery install still ahead.12:13
