  • Hello, thanks for watching. Hope you enjoyed the video. For those who are curious, this is the Wall of Sharks Dive in the South Pass of Fakarava. An average of 700 sharks group together on an incoming tide. Videos hardly pick up how many there truly were.
    Cheers,
    Garrett

    A friend sent me a link to your videos. You have a natural talent for producing good content, not just beautiful filmography, but a sharp focus on the important issues involved, and a clear look at the reality of passage-making on a small, simple boat. I crossed my first ocean in 1976 and sailed to Tahiti in 1980. Sextant, paper charts and lots of educated guesswork in those days. I've been using a GPS since 1994 and eventually graduated to a chartplotter a few years ago, and love them,. It takes a lot of anxiety out of navigating near land at night or in poor visibility. I've been fascinated to see how you effortlessly interface the different systems you use. Good to see you incorporate paper charts into your navigation. They give navigators a good overview. Listening to your commentary makes it clear your seamanship is first-class. I will follow you from here on with pleasure.

    I'm a 25 y/o black woman and I don't know anything about boats led alone even know how to swim but there is something so interesting about your videos that I forget the whole idea is about traveling and being in the ocean while you detail what that's like for you. You are a very bright well spoken young man and I really have been enjoying watching your videos. I may not be your target audience but I did want to let you know just how nice I find your content to be. I pray you continue to travel safely and that the Lord keep and protect you Garrett!!

    Regarding your depthfinder, a really common failure mechanism is the coupling liquid (usually antifreeze) leaking out between your transceiver puck and your hull fitting or through-hull. Just reseal the fitting and refill, just use water in a pinch since nothing's going to freeze down there anytime soon. Symptoms are the unit just failing to report a stable depth.
