    Ha! It’s funny you showed the book “Dove,” which I read back in 1975 when I was still in high school. Back then I lived in Miami, and my friends and I used to go sailing around the bay and local islands every chance we got. “Dove” was a big inspiration to us and we dreamed about doing exactly what you’re now doing. But, alas, life got in the way--college, grad school, jobs, marriage, kids, bigger houses, never-ending bills....
    So I’m 67 and retired now, and no regrets really. But it’s still incredibly inspiring seeing a young man chasing his dreams. In many ways dreams I quit chasing nearly 50 years ago. So thanks for the memories, my friend. And good luck and smooth sailing on your future voyages!

    What an awesome experience sailing on a long passage on a 45’ Outremer! I would have gone off the experience as well! Awesome drone shots and the audio with the mic was perfect. Great work Garrett stay safe out there and hope you get your boat back in the water and back in ship shape! Good idea in getting two laptops!

    Welcome to New Zealand, young man........how ever briefly. I can't believe how quickly you got here! I take it you're not bringing Hooligan down here, which is a pity. Might have been fun to bump into you round the coast here. Hope all comes back together for you.

    You cannot come to New Zealand and only visit Auckland! Please come back and head for Nelson in the South Island. One of the worlds great natural harbours, plus a great marina and maritime suppliers there and so much to see and do. We have the Marlborough Sounds, Able Tasman National Park and Golden bay, and that's just for sailing. There are also heaps of cool places onshore too!

    Nice way to journey into our land of the long white cloud. Its a shame you are not touring NZ this time. As you encountered downtown Auckland is a construction zone which is why its preferable to be on a yacht sailing around Auckland harbour. Wishing you fairwinds as you sail west in Hooligan

    I've seen Dell keyboards get wet with rain or coffee. They have plastic membranes layered, and once you wash away tea, soda, or coffee, the water drying process takes days or weeks. Water inbetween buna sheets. I'd have removed the battery, inverted the laptop, and vigorously sprayed it with distilled water, then shook it, blew it out, and left it open on one side to help drain the keyboard. If you think a keyboard is hard to dry out, try an old 6,000 volt 13 inch tube TV.

  • @stanleybest8833
    @stanleybest8833 14 днів тому

    You've probably seen the Movie "Apollo 13". The astronauts report problems and symptoms, and Mission Control works on the cure. Understand, there's no such thing as pausing, at least with this stupid android. The screen goes almost completely dark. When you show installations, it needs 10 or more seconds to see the parts. Your fuel tank is a write off. Why not pick up a small tank and refill it often? The tank you have is under the motor. Tear it to shreds and paint the bilge under it. Mount a small solid tank in a good spot high enough to stay clean. Don't connect the fill or vent to the cockpit. Refill it with extra cans. Zero contamination and zero corrosion. Big ships often wash out the bilge with fresh water. If you have to change Cutlass or prop shaft seal, the trick is to get the shaft flange off without fuss. Some people get stuck for days on removing it, but it's a kid-easy task, if you do it right. I have no idea what the seal is or what diameter the shaft is. I hope you measure the drain on your battery. Some boats are dragging a dead elephant around when it comes to battery drain. Celestial navigation? As fast as you can read the directions on a Sperry Astro Compass or a Kollsman Sextant, you're there. Magic navigation? Try an ADF. Automatic Direction Finder. There's even special ones for boats. The AM broadcast band changes radically from day to night. You can also grab a lot of travel information with a CB radio and proper antenna. Day skip propagation can be outrageous. You're connected anywhere on the sea and the power draw is very minimal.
