What this video covers
After an 18-day, 3,000-nautical-mile non-stop passage from Australia to the Maldives, Zatara arrives with both refrigerators empty and no fresh fruit, vegetables, or potatoes remaining.3:30 Renee improvises meals from canned tuna, refried beans, black beans, corn tortillas, pasta, rice, and Costco pantry staples while Keith and she try to avoid carbs and sugar.4:56 The kids make homemade pizzas using block mozzarella (which Renee notes resists mold better than pre-grated), and Renee assembles vegetarian black-bean enchiladas with Old El Paso taco sauce and the last of the cheese.8:27 Local villagers deliver two dozen fresh eggs for six dollars and a couple of fish, enabling fish tacos.15:25 COVID-era rules require a negative PCR test to go ashore at each island, so the family skips the local market and plans to sail to Malé for resupply.15:45 Renee also takes down the cockpit shade ahead of forecast 35–40-knot monsoon gusts and re-anchors 300 yards in flat water between squalls to avoid chop from wind waves over the reef.0:48 She asks viewers to suggest recipes using boat staples — canned goods, beans, condiments, pasta, and eggs.16:06
