O que este vídeo aborda

Janae and Jace, aboard their 40-foot sailboat after six months in the US, run through a final provisioning and gear haul before departing for Colombia and a subsequent Pacific crossing.0:12 Major purchases include a Starlink Mini dish — chosen because it draws 1.7 watts average versus 4.5 for the standard dish — a new marine toilet, a replacement water maker, new rigging, a handheld Standard Horizon VHF (replacing an Icom whose battery failed early), two new marine fire extinguishers of different ratings, True Design through-hull fittings from Gemlux, Sirocco fans for the aft cabin, two 50-foot dock lines, oil-absorbing sheets for a slow engine-bay leak, SodaStream gear for soft-drink provisioning, powdered eggs (72 servings) and powdered milk with glass jugs for Pacific passages, and fishing tackle including trolling rods and lures.5:56 They also wire-lock shackles on the headsail halyard after their main halyard came loose during the Atlantic crossing, and plan to have the head sail halyard properly spliced in Panama.13:09 The planned route runs from the Cuba area past Jamaica to Colombia — a passage they compare in length to the Atlantic crossing.15:10 Securing shackles with monel wire at the top of the halyard, not just zip ties at the base, is the direct lesson carried forward from the Atlantic.13:33
