What this video covers

The crew of Good, Bad, and Ugly harvests conch and coconuts to supplement dwindling food supplies while anchored in a remote, rolly anchorage. After extracting the conch meat by breaking the shells to release the vacuum, they prepare conch fritters using a Japanese stainless steel knife, flour, baking powder, seasonings, and beer.23:09 The crew then transits to Esperanza, Vieques, to address a suspected solar power failure.15:57 The owner diagnoses the issue as a loose terminal connection on the bus bar, which was overheating to approximately 130 degrees Fahrenheit.23:07 After performing a hard reset and tightening all solar terminals, the system resumes normal charging.23:15 To mitigate excessive rolling at the new anchorage, the owner employs a stern-tie technique, running a line from the anchor chain to the boat to orient the vessel against the swell.21:46
