EP70 Engine Alarm Crisis Solved! Installing Roller Furler & Clearing Customs in French Polynesia

In this episode, we finally solve the mystery behind the boat engine’s screaming alarm—a worn-out fan belt! After a quick replacement, the engine runs smoothly again, allowing us to move from the marina to a nearby anchorage while waiting for our new roller furler to arrive. Despite the rainy weather, we managed to install the roller furler without major issues, a critical upgrade before our next ocean passage. We also cleared out of French Polynesia—surprisingly easy, and we later learned we could’ve done it online! Now, with the boat prepped and paperwork ready, our next destination is the Cook Islands—stay tuned for the next adventure! #Sailing #BoatRepair #FrenchPolynesia #SailboatLife #RollerFurler #CustomsClearance #CookIslands
