What this video covers

Huub performs a series of plumbing repairs in Cartagena, Colombia, to prepare his 20-year-old boat for a Pacific Ocean crossing.▶ 0:17 He replaces corroded metal water hoses and fittings that have begun to rust, opting for plastic components to avoid future corrosion issues.▶ 0:27 Because local hardware stores lack exact replacements for his European-sized plumbing, he adapts American-sized parts by using hose-to-pipe connectors, roughening the pipe surfaces for better grip, and securing connections with double hose clamps.▶ 11:14 He also installs a new carbon microfilter in an accessible location on the kitchen floor to simplify future maintenance and prevent water from spilling into cabinets.▶ 13:42 Additionally, he undergoes a three-hour root canal in Cartagena to address dental issues before his long-distance passage.▶ 20:45 The plumbing system remains leak-free after testing under pressure.▶ 19:42
