What this video covers
The crew of Nandji - Frothlyfe repairs their electrical system in Durban, South Africa, by installing a new Victron MultiPlus inverter to replace a failed unit.6:17 With assistance from a guest technician, they configure the new hardware using the Victron Connect app and implement GUI mods to improve system monitoring.7:44 After completing the repairs and hosting a meet-and-greet at the Durban Point Yacht Club, the crew departs for a 250-nautical-mile passage down the Wild Coast toward East London.2:02 They time the transit to utilize the Agulhas Current, which provides a 2-to-4-knot speed boost, allowing the boat to maintain 9-to-10 knots of speed in light 10-knot winds.11:28 Despite the favorable current, the crew encounters a rolling swell that causes seasickness during the 52-hour trip.18:04 They successfully navigate the stretch by staying offshore to maximize the current's effect, avoiding the slower speeds experienced by other vessels closer to the coast.13:43
