Learning what NOT to tinker with on our sailboat - Ep 187
We sail to two last favourite spots in the beautiful British Virigin Islands before sailing to the US Virgin Islands, Spanish Virgin Islands of Puerto Rico and along the northern coast of Puerto Rico into the San Juan inlet. We encounter big seas, even bigger neighbours, witness a sailboat dragging and break down our provisioning process as we prepare for 3 months in the Bahamas. We learn what happens when one becomes a bit too handy and we encounter issues with the freezer thermostat, just as we are provisioning and stocking up food for 3 months in the Bahamas.
