What this video covers

Huub performs maintenance on his catamaran while docked at a marina in Cartagena, Colombia, ahead of planned coastal cruising.▶ 0:00 He replaces aging saltwater pumps to prevent leaks and attempts to address anchor chain piling by installing a chain-distributing device in the chain locker, though the modification proves ineffective.▶ 1:27 He also extracts oil from his saildrives using a manual pump, noting that this method only removes approximately one-third of the total volume, and applies anti-slip paint mixed with grip additive to the cabin roof.▶ 9:08 Additionally, he installs a Starlink Mini using a clamp-style mount from Dark Star Hardware for emergency connectivity.▶ 5:32 During his stay, he consults with a local contact regarding the logistics of taking on crew versus paying charter guests, concluding that vetting crew through platforms like Find a Crew is preferable for long-term stability.▶ 8:19 He concludes his stay by visiting the Castillo San Felipe de Barajas fortress.▶ 14:59
