Final Fixes Before Mexico! Autopilot Upgrade, Running Rigging & Marina Drama | Nauticat 43

A Race Against Time: Final Fixes & Challenges Before Leaving

With the clock ticking down to our departure for Mexico, we’re making the last crucial upgrades to our Nauticat 43 Sand Dollar. This week, we tackled:

✅ Installing new solar panels to boost our off-grid power
✅ Upgrading the autopilot for smooth sailing
✅ Replacing old running rigging for safety and performance
✅ Helping a fellow sailor in distress as their boat hit the marina wall
✅ Facing unexpected delays—because boat life is never easy!

It’s been a race against time, and every project brings us closer to setting sail. But with so much left to do, are we truly ready for the next chapter? Join us as we make the final push toward our biggest adventure yet!
