love ur story ......and u"
You ladies sure clean up nice!
Lauren, great videos. It looks like you have some oxidation going on at the wire connectors for the solar controller. Take each wire off and clean the wire ends and the screws with some fine sand paper. It’s a good idea to keep a can of electrical contact spray around to spray the wires and screws on all your electrical equipment connectors. Keep up the great content…
Great advice!
Sorry to hear that, i know it is not the phone it is the information and pictures on it that are important
You look at home there! Cheers n beers from Australia 🇦🇺 🍷🍷
Maaco is a good kitty 🐈😸
Your seafaring skills are a legend already, but your vlogs are awesome too … the editing skills are a Thing … 🎉💯 !!! Huge congrats on a fun and informative channel, with great pace and a well-judged vibe. 👌🏽😎🤙🏽
Aww thank you! The filming and editing is definitely a learning process!
It is great to see sails set properly and the boat being sailed efficiently. Lauren is clearly one of the better sailors that I’ve seen on RUclips. Wouldn’t surprise me if she has extensive racing experience.
Aww haha.. definitely no racing experience!
LOVED THE FAMILY 25 TH ANNIVERSARY PARTY FELLOWSHIP.
FAITH , HOPE , AND LOVE , AND THE GREATEST OF THESE IS LOVE WHICH WAS VERY APPARENT.

Your very beautiful and young I love your sailing life so thank you for sharing
Aw thanks for watching!
You are SO courageous to be on the Ocean all by yourself! Holy Cow. The constant movement of a boat messes with a cats inner stability. Really nice vids- shows many aspects of sailing.
Aw thank you
So awesome, great attitude, exceptional sailing ability and so incredibly beautiful. Omg. You are awesome. Much love ❤️
Aw thanks!!
You are a treasure!! Thanks for taking us along!
Thank you for following along!
Thanks for another great video. All I can say is that a bad day sailing in the Bahamas always beats even a good day at work!⛵
Mako is clearly devoted to you, but he is quite the feisty character. I suspect you have the scratches to prove it.
for sure!!
hahaha so true
The jade green water with the storm clouds at the horizon was beautiful.
I thought so too! Glad you liked it
Hey Lauren, Most of the time you get intermittent functionality with electrical systems there is a loose or corroded connection somewhere. The unplugging and plugging the wire back in seemed to resolve the issue. Try brushing the contacts with a wire brush to make sure they are nice and shiny, then put a little dielectric grease on them and put back together. The dielectric grease will protect against future corrosion.
True, thank you!
You're kitty is a cutie. That was pretty rough weather. Thank you for the upload. Safe travels. ♥️
Thank you for watching!
Burry the phone completely under the rice . Keeping it above the rice doesn't give an all over moisture contraction the rice can do.
Thanks for sharing !
3 weeks went by😭 no luck
if the touch does not work on the phone display, just connect a regular usb computer mouse and replace it like this. Either buy a mouse directly with a usb-c connector or a reduction (1-5usd)
Always a pleasure to be welcomed aboard rain or shine .. I wish I could sit with Mako and keep him company while you did boating things.. give you a break..never happen but he does look like the kind of kitty I should get from one of the local shelters here in Maine near Newcastle ...I keep question whether to do it and get a buddy to share the apartment and seeing Mako and you sticking it out together is inspiration to try ...
He is the best!
Mako is an excellent First Mate.
jewelry in the ears added charm and where is the plastic window protective from splashes and wind?
Missed this one , al2ay# a delight to see you sailing ,, 😎😎🤙😍😘🥰💕
my frozen skip step, plug in the charging cord and that usually resets and frees up
😊
it's possible that the wind charger does not talk to the solar charger. In case the solar charger charges the batteries the voltage is going to be higher and with a higher voltage the wind charger thinks he has to go in bulk mode. To test this you may try disconnect the solar or check at night.
I have checked this.. unfortunately not the issue /: Thank you!!
Sir cat definitely wanted to go hunting on that island.
haha
Wow the pigs were quite a surprise. Always nice to catch up with family!
ah haha
Hi Lauren 🙂
You have accomplished so much in such a short time, I am speechless. A natural born sailor. An off the grid champion. Your wind generator produces very little electricity. About 1/2 amp on a windy day. And it makes a lot of noise. The light comes on when it's charging. The fact that you unplug a wire when it fails, plug the wire back in tells me there is most likely a short somewhere. I would deep six and for get it. Also, you can air condition the boat for $ 500. The toughest sailors and charter guest can not stay in the Bahamas in the summer months without A/C. No one can do it but you. I think you should climb Mt. Everest or win Naked and Afraid next. No doubt you will win. About single hand sailing, my question is not how you do it - but who wants to do it? Remember Adam was lonely alone on earth. And he prayed and God sent you (Eve). As you said, "I am always alone but never alone." I know the feeling so well. When my wife sailed with me, I was a very happy sailor. When she left I was miserable on the sea alone. But never alone because of crew and friends. I did not have parents in Ft. Lauderdale, like ones with a huge sport fish to follow me around the Bahamas. I left home at age 16. My worst nightmare is running out of money in Ft. Lauderdale. I have nightmares often about this horrible fear. I use to say sailors are all running from something, including myself. But I felt like I was running to something. Sailing around the world to find that perfect girl. I didn't find her until I gave up. God found her. I never want to be alone on a boat again. Give me woman or give me death.
Captain Mako!!! take care of the war of the seas .... beautiful video,Lauren!!!
haha thanks!
Do you have a voltage meter? You could check the output voltage to see if it is operating properly. It might need to be replaced. Circuit boards are full of resistors, capacitors etc. and sometimes they go bad or a solder connection breaks causing intermittent operations.
The readings are all accurate /:
You create such wonderful videos. Keep up the good work and stay safe.
Thank you so much
I like how thunder storms roll in as well the best one was in Baldhead Island everything was orange and pink lighting hitting the water it was amazing. Even the storms look awesome might not be fun to be in at the time still looks great!
😊😊
Hello Lauren can you include more functionality . For example can you demonstrate how are you launch your dinghy and how you attach the motor and then how you secure the dinghy
I have some of that in other videos 🤗
Hello from Australia, your wind gen is in need of service badly the sound it's making is dry bearings or they have failed already,
i suggest a rebuild, new bearings and brushes then it should work quietly and efficiently once more , or replace it. Cheers
Hey! Parts are on their way (: It's a little harder here to get things
@@laurenlanders Cool, when you get the new bearings, use a seal pick on the seal on one side of the bearing, pop the seal out and add some good quality grease ,then pop the seal back in and it will last you for years with silent running and no more annoying grumble from bearing noise thru the boat. Cheers
Hola Lauren , hermoso todo, tu familia y tus experiencias , gracias 🙏🙏🙏
Capt. Mako is the best, purchasing a Victron solar-charge controller is in your future.
haha and that is what I have. but the wind is a different type
why does the world keep changing and moving so much! said the cat lol
haha
Congrats to mom and pops..for the 25th.
The thing with windmill is its got to burn its power all the time that its turning! When the battery are charging the windmill burns power but when the batteries are full the windmill as to stop or you can damage it! Thats why you got a dump load on your charge controller!!!
Right... the problem is the controller
enjoyed ..yea
Hi Lauren! You are so inspiring.
aw thank you
@@laurenlanders I just DM'd you on IG.
Умничка. Рад за тебя и твоего котика.
My guess is also a bit of oxidation on that connection. What a hunny you are! Love the uploads, keep em coming. Biiig hug all the way from Switzerland, for livin your dream!
Thank you!!
Great job Lauren on your move back. Glad your family was able to party together, looked like fun.... peace and love...Tom
Aw thanks so much for watching!
Fun video….squalls last week were brutal! Thx, Andrew
So true!!
Lauren, great video.
Thank you!
Whole new meaning to Bluewater sailing cat. Meow
You make handling a boat that large look easy, but I get the feeling it isn't? Congrats on the anniversary, smooth sailing.
Hi Lauren, Thank you for the nice and honest vlog. What an amazing life you have. Stay safe and enjoy life.
Thank you so much
Good luck and enjoy your parents anniversary!
Aw thanks!
Looking good. I just had to comment about the water color. Looks like blue champagne 🍾
sooo true!!
while I don't know much about the wind gen but if you don't already, you may want to get a decent simple multmeter and sit in some YT EDU sessions to learn how to check for bonding, power (output) and basic circuitry. There could be something intermittent in the connections/wires/internals. There is also some good products out there for cleaning and protecting connections, I think Deoxit D5 might be good. If you have to get a tech aboard to fix it shadow him/her through the process to learn the system for next time. Congratulations on single handing that boat and hopefully putting it to lots of charter work!
I do!😊 Thank you so much!
Loved it, really enjoying your videos as I prepare myself for boat life
Aww thanks! Wishing you the best!
Enjoyed thanks for sharing! One more year of work and I'm done working can't wait for life at sea.
Thanks for watching! Ah nice!
thank you for this movie charming mermaid
Aw thanks!
Wild hair and not so wild pigs, good vid!
Very nice long video Lauren. I know that is a lot of work so thank you. I take it the beautiful lady sitting in the back of the dingy was your mom. The apple didn't fall far from the tree. Us old people say stuff like that, it means you also are beautiful:-)) Stay safe.
Thanks for watching!!
Some simple guesses. Trouble shooting from couple hundred miles away not usually helpful. Controller overheating, programmed voltage point exceeded? Since it works then shuts itself off suggests internal setting is reached. With solar, wind, and the batteries all at different voltages, some fighting could be happening. Confident you will sort it out. Maybe isolate solar letting just the wind gen feed the batteries and check the voltage then swap the gen with the solar to check if there is a noticeable difference. Sorry, best I have to offer.
I appreciate your feedback!! I will be taking the whole thing apart soon haha
you are a Bad Ass!💙⚓🏴☠️
Ah haha
It’s a great sailing day if you like to be busy!! Seriously though. You need a complete dodger lol. Nicely done Lauren
Hahaha
@@laurenlanders it’s true! Someplace to hide from the rain and spray! And stay a little more dry lol
Great video Skipper.
Thanks for watching!
@@laurenlanders Hard not to! They're enjoyable. :)
It was a really good video I was really happy to see mom and dad being married 25 years that was awesome but most of the time of the video I couldn't hear you
awsome video,..just look at that beautiful sky and ocean i can almost smell the seawater,,i cant wait to get my sailboat,i need alot to learn before i set sail anywhere tho,knowing myself i would probably set sail to the bahamas and end up in madagascar...p.s mako cracks me up lol.
Aww haha
Keep up with the videos.i look forward to your videos....
Aw thanks so much!
Bonjour Lauren, take care of you, its fun to see you. Your charger not bleaking because your battery are full or your eolienne dont charging. You need to check How many volt(dc) come in and watts.
Thanks! and thanks for watching!
Hi Lauren I’ve just discovered your channel
I’m really envious of you I live in cold damp England
I’ve spent some time in the Bahamas at Hopetown on Elbow Cay in the Abacos
I loved every minute of it
Vernons Key lime pie was the best I’ve ever tasted
All the best
Alan👌🛥⚓️
Aww, that area is amazing!!
When you say it’s good to be home where is home? Also you said look at this insane water at about 19 to 20 minutes… Where were you where the water is so clear?
Great video. Do you have radar with wind direction. Replace controller
seems you have boating in your family history very nice, can you explain one day how you learned to sail, what are the most enjoyable parts? Most difficult? Very happy for you Lauren. Much love ☮️ ❤️ ♾ 💡
I have made a video of my past 😊
@@laurenlanders Ah yes I see it now. Thanks LL!
Hi Lauren. Just got caught up after a short video binge. I'm a long time charter captain of power boats based out of Nassau so I get your vibe. Looks like you spend some time in Clifton Bay on the west end of New Providence and I'm in Lyford Cay right there, with every resource, including 120' of dockage and a car if you ever need a hand. Love your videos and good call for Fowl Cay for your folks anniversary. BTW, my pup is named Tucker after Tucker at Compass Cay, he's his god-dog father. I have some ideas about your wind gen issues so let me know if you have voice coms. All the best.
Wow! Thank you so much!! Appreciate it!
It's about time for them freeform locs to start😉
Haha it’s been bad
Crazy hair lady. Lol.
Awesome you make it look easy, shame you can't get ear-muffs for cats, Mako may not like the sounds the sails make, maybe,, thanks again, looking good
thanks for watching!
Great video 🤙🤙🤙guess your gonna need some de-tangler lol 😂
Hahaha
Only just now finding your channel, I don't know if you plan on sailing long distances. From the way things appear you're definitely skilled enough! Keep it up!
Thank you so much!! I do plan on it (:
It was probably just a loose connection yeah 😉😊
Is it OK to admit I'm jealous? I admire you young people who have the guts to throw caution to the wind and just live. My generation was conditioned to get the degree, the high paying job, buy the stuff, and retire. We bought stuff we don't use because we are working to pay for it all. Sold a lot of snake oil so to speak. The new rich is totally having time to do what you want. The heck with things. All you young people reading this follow Lauren's example. Live before it's too late. Before you know it you're an old fart like me and all the medical issues that come with age to the point it's too late to kick off the hook. Adulting is a trap, never grow up.
Aww, appreciate your words and encouragement
👍
At 8:15 the little guy looks like, "Why is everything tilted?".
Hahah
Rule of Thumb, Lauren: You know how to flick a finger from your thumb? With an over-zealous pig that you think might bite your thigh, lean down and flick, with high intensity, your finger on the nose of the pig. It doesn't register the methodology, i.e. the swing of your hand or in this case your finger, so it associates the sudden sting with getting its nose too close to you...and be prepared to repeat it until it 'learns'. Pigs are highly intelligent, and fast learners!
Same thing with a horse that gets a bit bitey after being fed sugar, etc. The object of the exercise is not to frighten them, but to teach them that their nose will get stung if they get it too close to you. Never feed animals from your hand unless you teach them to be gentle in the process. It works with dogs too. A great way to teach a puppy not to try to snatch a juicy morsel out of your fingers, but to take it gently.
Good luck!
Aren't cats wonderful companions. My Cousteau used to get seasick. You obviously have been a sailor since a child. Nothing worse than ones boat going beam to the wind/waves. That's when a second anchor comes into play. If staying long enough.
Good vid.
Thanks!
It is a bad connection
Nice one.. and for the most part you look into the lens and not the viewfinder... you don't look blind anymore... 😉🙂
Hopefully I will learn some stuff while watching and enjoying your videos then I shall do the same in future 😁🙏sea is the one of best place where you can be 😍
Aw I hope so! It is!
Vocês duas são lindas e gosto muito dos seus vídeos ❤️❤️
THAT HAIR BONNET MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE A ONE EARED BUNNY. SO CUTE.
I FIND IT VERY ENTERTAINING WATCHING YOU TALK WHAT YOUR THINKING IN SUCH A LAID BACK MANNER.
IT'S NOT MIND OVER MATTER ; IT'S MY MIND THAT MATTERS 😉
ELIJAH 💫
Nice videos
Check your ground wires
Nice video this one Lauren, ❤
In One week I'm sailing from the Netherlands to the Bahamas and stay there the whole summer.
btw. your cat is reacting to every little movement the sail makes in the wind.
And to sounds the standing rig makes, Sounds wich you and I cannot hear....I think! o_~
Nice!! Wishing you the best! and yes he does (:
I know you know, but to preserve your viewer's sanity, remember that B& H Photo is your friend. Get some great advice from them and order wind protective mic socks and wind-resistant mics. Thanks!!
Working on it!😊 thanks!
Windshield for your deadcat. And a raincoat for your little cat.
hahaha yes
@@laurenlanders 😉
maybe some corrosion on the plug contacts or on the circuit boards of the units you are plugging into? or in any switches?
Thanks!
I would love to help you on board its amazing what you do
What do you do to pass time between the mooring and other types of activities whiles sailing the longer distance stretches?
I read during longer sails
Hi Lauren I was just wondering how much you charge for a week charter for 2 people? Great video yet again 👏
Hey! You can email me!
Love the vlogs your one lucky lady
Hi Miss Lauren, You would look fantastic with some long blond beautiful Dreadlocks!! No more brushing problems! I'm just sayin!? Ha! I can already tell that 4 legged 1st mate of yours is a real character!!
hahaha
Eww, dreadlocks are nasty. Especially on the sea with more limited showers.
MAKO IS NOT INTO THE SAILING LIKE YOU ARE LAUREN. I CAN TELL HE IS THINKING...
"GIVE ME LAND" ;
BESIDES THERE ARE NO HOT CHICKS FOR ME ON WATER. 🤧...
I'LL TAKE THE FOLLOWING ON LAND :
🍺🌭🍔🍟
GO EAGLES !!!
MAKO
THE JUXTAPOSITION OF YOU AND MAKO REALLY ADDS GREAT CONTENT TO YOUR FANTASTIC VIDEOS.
ELIJAH ☕️🍹🥂
Oh yeah one more question what is the draft on your sailboat
5'10
