Sailing the US Virgin Islands brings a drone mishap and a failed watermaker in this episode of Sailing Kelpie. A night flight over our friends' boat TNT goes wrong, and we have to find our DJI Air 2 before we know whether it survived.

Rob's brother Phil joins us around St. Thomas, snorkeling at Trunk Bay on St. John, and exploring Water Island. When our watermaker burns out, Chris and Taylor on TNT make fresh water for both boats so we can keep enjoying the islands together.

Later, we replace the failed watermaker with a SeaWater Pro unit: removing the old equipment, fitting the replacement, and making fresh water again, with a few finishing jobs still to do. This is our real boat project, not a complete installation tutorial.

What's the luckiest escape your boat or gear has had? Tell us in the comments. Subscribe to Sailing Kelpie to join Rob and Lauren for more island adventures and real boat projects.
