What this video covers
Mads and Ava sail their 1987 Trident Warrior, Athena, from Highborne Quay in the Bahamas to Port Canaveral, Florida, to escape the hurricane season.0:13 They complete the 300-nautical-mile passage in two days, checking out of the Bahamas in Nassau before arriving at the Port Canaveral Yacht Club.1:14 Upon arrival, the crew addresses two maintenance issues: sealing leaking bespoke portlights with a thin bead of silicone and replacing a faulty water pressure accumulator tank.4:39 The accumulator tank replacement requires heating the hose to remove it from the barb, as the system’s pump was fluttering due to improper pressure.10:18 The crew secures a slip at the Port Canaveral Yacht Club, noting the facility's new composite pilings, floating docks, in-slip pump-out service, and on-site workshop.11:47 They also monitor a potential lead on a new project boat while settling into the marina.4:10
