What this video covers
Juho and Sohvi arrive in Nome, Alaska, after navigating shallow waters near the Yukon River delta.19:06 The crew encounters significant water contamination in their diesel fuel, which appears milky upon inspection of the day tank.26:34 To prevent future water intrusion, Juho modifies the main fuel tank’s breather vent, which previously exited the hull at the starboard stern quarter where it was vulnerable to wave action.29:08 He extends the vent hose to create a large U-loop running toward the center of the boat under the deck, providing a physical barrier against water ingress.29:52 He also installs a shut-off valve in the vent line to allow the crew to seal the system during heavy weather.30:32 After cleaning the tank and completing these modifications, the crew prepares for the upcoming transit of the Northwest Passage.30:47
