    Just found your channel and subbed. Do you have more videos about the boat refit and your back story. Why you picked boat life over say van life?

    • @sailinginthongsjandals8547
      @sailinginthongsjandals8547  2 года назад

      Hi Andrew! Thank you! Umm we don't sorry - just the one for now, brand newbies, but more in the pipeline. Will probably backtrack and cover the boat prep when we have more time, but we only have photos and our stories as we weren't exactly planning on YouTubing! But real is what we are going for...because we sure aren't natural actors!! Van life was never in the picture for us.....

    Fantastic video! You will have to work hard to out-do that one. We will be watching your channel every day for new releases. You two are so well prepared - nicely done. Have a grand time and I hope you come to visit us in South Carolina once you're in this part of the world. We so enjoyed our quick visit with you in Fiji in May.

    Great to see that Maya and you guys are fine. What happened to the radar? And the engine?

    • @sailinginthongsjandals8547
      @sailinginthongsjandals8547  2 года назад

      Wow Herbert, Hi! Nice to hear from you! Radar was only getting signals one way - apparently the mk or megnatron was broken(?) It was more cost effective to get new B&G radar than fix (or maybe not fix) the old one. And while we were at it we got wind instruments! The engine- we got hauled out for a full service because the sail drive seal was due for replacement (recommended after 7 years). So replaced many things as maintenance like the exhaust elbow and fuel lines while it was out! We also got a second alternator added to charge batteries- and the bracket broke, so got a new bracket (and a spare just in case!)
