1. I can imagine the relief of having your anchor back 😊

2. I think this season is been a test of my commitment to sailing. Most would pack it in. It's been very frustrating. I usually work in film. The year started out with a film strike! I worked as a landscaper at 20$ an hour would you believe? Then it's been one thing after another. There is good news tho. I do have a bit of luck coming up other videos..

3. Hey Captn Mike great job on recovery. U have alot of skills. Just keep on dealing with problems a bit at a time and enjoy the places yr at. Cheers to U n Devon!

4. I know you are having alot of problems.You handle adversity SO WELL.These things will pass and you will be much stronger.Remember the days are ahead of white beaches and smooth sailing.

5. Look at it this way, no drama no ratings. However a minimum of prep work is a must unless you want problems you can’t recover from.

6. And the flaming dumpster continues to roll. From a content perspective, it's awesome. From a safety and seaworthiness perspective I remain flabbergasted. Are you aware of the expression "nothing works on this boat but the captain?" It's a bit deceiving because when the captain actually works and undertakes required maintenance then everything else usually works as well. Please go to work and sort it out. I'm definitely not a cheerleader but I am rooting for you. Of course, if you do fix everything, then your videos are probably going to be boring!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

7. Hang in there, Captain. Out here it seems the highs are really highs and the lows are really low. Get that boat in seaworthy condition and carry on. Hoping to run into you somewhere warm.

8. You probably already know this. When you take apart an engine, take photos at beginning and every major step. Mark things (forward/starboard or method you understand), make sure valves go back into same holes, with same springs, same thing with injectors. Note/photo how the gaskets go before removing. These types of things help you put engine back together successfully. Not sure what type of inverter/charger you have, but precharge the inverter's capacitors from bat pos to inverter bat pos input, using a cheap 12v/10 ohm resistor to slowly charge caps, then quickly make the permanent pos cable connection and avoid the spark.
   I'm sure you have heard about regular engine alternators overheating when charging LiFePo4 bats since the bats can draw very high charging currents. you can mitigate by running engine at like 1800 rpm when charging the bat, this speed blows more air over alternator from the fan blades on the alternator, keeping it cooler. Also LA bat and Lifepo4 bats in parallel when engine charging will work, as the LA provides resistance to alternator putting out too much and overheating. All this may not affect you, if you have remote alternator regulation.

9. Keep your head up and push on, it does get better. That area sucks to breakdown in. We are south of you in marathon key. I am trying to get my boat ready for extended cruising. I've been fighting a similar battle. I have 3 major projects to get done, before I can leave. Start making headway on my projects and something else breaks. It's frustrating, but I look at it this way, my systems should be good to go cruising by the time I get my three upgrades done. Right now I am installing a watermaker, next is solar pannels, and then finally a new autopilot. In between I have changed two builge pumps, a silinoid for my main electric toilet, two sea strainer, two engine room blowers, the water heater,, the main cabin air conditioner, and much more. It has been a process, but again everything should be good soon. I've already changed out my whole navigation system, battery bank, new diesel generator, davits, new tender and outboard etc. Keep pushing faward and we shall see you out there.

10. If you are still in Ft Lauderdale next weekend, let me know if you'd like me to pick you up on my boat and take you to lunch? It's the least I can do since I enjoy your adventures.

11. Michael you need a Honda generator,you need good solar and enough batteries to supply the energy that you need.You have to fix stuff when it fails🥴love your videos 👍😍

12. Glad to hear you’re sorting out all the kinks. Keep at it Michael!

13. Hey Mike, Carmen and George here (we lent you the portable generator in Lake Sylvia). Just saw the episode!! Hope you are well, we are in Black Point waiting for a blow to finish then onto Georgetown for a bit. Hope to see you there for another dinner together. Cheers.
