What this video covers
Djé and Nad continue an extensive refit of their Outremer catamaran at a boatyard in Carriacou, reaching day 76 of the project.35:13 The primary tasks involve sanding, fiberglass lamination, and structural reinforcement of the forward collision bulkheads.14:58 To ensure watertight integrity, they apply epoxy fillets and fiberglass cloth to the interior hull sections and seal unused through-hull fittings, including the gray water tank discharge.17:43 The crew manages the project timeline, noting that they have approximately six weeks remaining before the scheduled haul-out.23:54
The refit faces potential logistical complications due to a property dispute between the marina and the landowner, which threatens to block access to the travel lift.36:01 Additionally, the couple discovers they have exceeded their three-month vessel import permit.38:54 They resolve this by visiting the local customs office, where they secure an extension by providing documentation from the marina confirming the vessel is undergoing repairs on the hard rather than remaining at anchor.39:50
