CAMBIAMO TUTTO! Torniamo in Italia e 1200Ah di Batterie su Y2K | Ep.11-2026

Broken plans, bureaucracy, and a mind-blowing energy upgrade. In this episode, we explain why we disappeared for three weeks and why, instead of sailing north to Australia, we're packing our bags for Italy. We've dealt with seasonality, the monsoons in Indonesia, and the expiration of our Australian visa: the wisest decision is to stop, reconnect with family, and return in August in full "Ocean Mode." But before leaving her in the marina, Y2K received extensive treatment: we installed 1200Ah lithium batteries (Odin, Poseidon, Thor, and Zeus), fixed a metallic yellow issue in the Yanmar engine with parts from Japan, and fought yet another battle against the water heater and leaks in the teak. Plus, we'll show you how our AI Enea is helping us manage a record-breaking galley! 👇 IN THIS VIDEO YOU'LL DISCOVER: 👇 ✈️ The Change of Course: Why we're returning to Italy for a month and the new plans for Raja Ampat. 🔋 Infinite Energy: Installation and configuration of 1200Ah LiFePO4 lithium batteries. ⚙️ Mechanics: Overhauling the heat exchanger, turbo, and the "mystery" of the metallic noise. 🚿 Hydraulics: The nightmare of the water heater resistor (and how to save $220). ⛽ Provisioning: 31 diesel tanks and managing the galley with Enea's AI. 🌊 Teak: The discovery of yet another hole in the deck and the repair of the joints. 👇 USEFUL LINKS 👇 🧡 SUPPORT OUR ADVENTURES ON PATREON:   / y2ksailing   HAVE FUN!
