The Challenge of Sourcing Boat Stuff (in Remote Places) | Video Podcast 047

You're anchored off a remote island in a faraway country and you've had a system failure, what do you do? How do you source an engine part? Maybe you've run out of fuel for the boat or the dinghy. Has the impeller crumbled, the windlass broken, or the sail ripped? Do you have a replacement? Maybe the autopilot's given up. Now imagine you're running out of water and are low on food basics. You are somewhere with no phone or internet access and there's no-one ashore. How did it get to this? What do you do? What did you forget to do?
