What this video covers

The crew of Yabá relocates to a sheltered bay to avoid shifting winds, moving from an exposed anchorage to a pier to take on 1,000 liters of fresh water and 500 liters of diesel.2:12 While maneuvering the boat to the pier, the owner sustains a finger injury after catching his hand between a mooring line and a cleat.18:02 The incident results in the loss of a fingernail and forces the crew to pause their planned boat renovation work, which includes sanding and varnishing a bulkhead wall and installing an incline in the anchor chain locker.18:53 The vessel carries 660 liters of diesel across three tanks and utilizes a 1.5-inch thick tire-thread line for heavy-duty mooring.9:36 The crew relies on improvised hose connections to fill water tanks due to inconsistent pier infrastructure.15:05 The injury serves as a reminder to maintain distance from winches, pulleys, and cleats when handling lines under tension.17:50
