What this video covers
The crew of the 36-ft steel Van de Stadt Seal *Kira-Kira* manages water and fuel shortages while anchored in the Vagabundos anchorage near Paraty, Brazil. After local freshwater sources dry up, the family manually retrieves their 20-kg stainless steel Danforth anchor to relocate to the city.▶ 2:52 They anchor in 4 meters of water using 6 meters of chain and 60 meters of line.▶ 5:47 In Paraty, the crew secures a 13-kg Brazilian gas cylinder at the fishermen's pier, noting that the larger size requires external mounting and protection from corrosion.▶ 8:05 Maintenance tasks include hand-sewing replacement zippers onto the boat's plastic side enclosures to improve weatherproofing against frequent rain.▶ 8:44 During a short passage to Ilha Dacotia, a fishing line becomes entangled in the propeller after the crew engages reverse gear; the line is cleared to prevent damage to the shaft seal and propeller hub.▶ 12:55 The family also utilizes the stop in Paraty to complete medical checkups and navigate the town's historic, tide-flushed streets.▶ 10:11
