    Khaira’s laugh is enough to brighten your day for sure. She has such a great personality. I see how she takes good care of Adam and vice versa. Their videos are really well put together. It must be difficult to get it right, but they seem do it every time. I discovered them quite a long ways into the future, so I’ve travelled back in time, to follow their journey from the beginning. A great way to enjoy a few hours of rest after a long day.
    I wonder how many people they’ve inspired to follow in their wake. I’d be very tempted if I was a few decades younger. I did something similar, but on motorcycles. The feeling of freedom and being out in the weather must be very similar. There’s not much point to living if you’re not having fun, learning new skills, meeting new people and challenging your limits.. Sailing seems like a very good way of doing all four at once.

    37th (for what it's worth).
    Another wonderful insight into life aboard 'Millie', smiling (mostly) through the trials and tests of boat ownership. Being a non boat owner (yet) but being a 'hands on' kinda guy, it's good to see the mix of carefree sailing, the methodical approach to solving issues when they do occur and the unassuming and genuine way that the ups and downs of boat life are shared with us at the other side of the camera lens and screen.
    I'm a year long subscriber who went back and binge watched every episode from the beginning over 6-8 weeks and I can not think of any tat I wouldn't happily watch again. Just keep on doing what you do so well :-)

    If the breakers was undersized you need to make sure the wires going to the panel can handle the size breaker on it, or there could be a fire. If the wires are 20 amp and the breaker is 30 the wires could melt and start a fire at say 29 amps. The wires could be undersized for the draw, so make sure that the draw is correct. A clamping meter can tell you what the wire is drawing in Amps and volts. But you can otherwise add up all the draws from the sticker on the pumps, etc. The old breaker might just be weak, or it has been pulling too much current near it's upper limit.

    On my yacht I always switch off the watermaker when I'm about 15 miles away from land, Because of possible seawater pollution, and because of, there are always way more sand particles in shallow water.

    Aside from the crud in the filters you appear to have an air leak as well. Circuit breakers deteriorate quickly if tripped by overload conditions. They may seem ok but the internals are weak. ALWAYS carry spares and don't hesitate to chuck the weak ones. Also, you kept saying "shorted out", if you actually mean a short circuit on a low voltage system the entire circuit needs to be inspected very carefully for things like insulation failure, damaged connectors etc. An actual short circuit throws a lot of energy around in a split second. (Think arc welder)

    Just to be sure, when you moved from the dodgey breaker to the 30 A one to test it…can the wiring handle 30 A? Breakers are there to protect the wiring, and should be derated from the wiring's max ampacity, or you risk fire.

The island, as you know is split between the Dutch in the south and the French in the north. The Dutch call the island "Sint Maarten" and pronounce it "Sint Martin." The French call the island "Saint Martin" and pronounce it "Saa Martaw." The spelling confuses many people. There is no "mar-teen," in the pronunciation of the island, unless you are speaking Spanish.
