Damon it's Doc. You need to get back over to your boat like as fast as possible. Your anchor broke loose and I saved it from going under the bridge but it's barely hanging in there I need you to get back to the boat dock as fast as possible
Yes owning a boat is like owning a house you become a mechanic, plumber and HVAC tech. Great to see how smart you are at fixing everything good job. I hope you have all your safety equipment up to code. Prevention and preparedness is the key. Keep up the outstanding content.
Damon Rust. Young and fearless. "Just wanted to climb the mast". Good on you Damon. I'm 79 and purchased my first sail boat, learned to sail, and did a lot of day sailing on the Coco Solo side of the Panama Canal Zone That was in 1970 to 1973 when the Canal Zone was a US possession. Like the catchy music. Subscribed
You've joined the club. The climb mast and film it and share it people like HHT Hayden's How Tos. I hate those ugly flimsy autopilots and the wand type, too. I think I'm going to have to build one from scratch. Good move on the foretop LED. Air conditioning cooled by salt water isn't very bright. It only has to whack the humidity level so fans work. A dripless prop shaft seal is one of the most important things for keeping your boat reasonably dry.
Hi Damon. Just a quick note about you replacing the incandescent lamp in your anchor light. Technically, that puts you in violation of the USCG navigation light requirements. The problem with changing the lamp is the Anchor light was certified with a specific lamp in it. When you replace that lamp with an LED lamp, anchor light is no longer certified. The chances of this ever being a real life issue are probably slim to none, especially since your boat isn't an "inspected vessel" However, IF a collision where ever to happen, AND, the injured parties lawyer some how found out about the non compliant lights, it could be costly.
I saved ya. but I need you here as soon as possible. cause it's the anchor rope is wrapped around the bottom of the boat and pulled ya loose. you're stuck hanging backwards. heading towards the bridge.
I wish I could go back 45 years and do what you're doing. It never occurred to me. Green with envy. A pattern on youtube, when youtubers start to run out of content they start to point the camera at their own faces a lot. That's when I stop watching. I prefer channels where I can see what you are seeing. I prefer when them on screen is more of an event. Wherever you ware, whatever you can see, it for sure is not our house or office or cubicle. Take us with you. That's my 2 cents. Show us what we cant see from where we are.
Thank you, I enjoy making these videos to try and bring along everyone on the adventure as well. I will do my best to keep showcasing the new sights along the way!

Great maps, thanks. How did your anchor problem resolve?
I have since upgraded my anchor and chain and have had much better anchoring nights so far

This is good to know, I had bought the led at West Marine so assumed it was ok but I guess not
