In today’s episode we are preparing for a 200 mile offshore passage from Portsmouth, Dominica to Grenada. When I fire up the engine I notice a severe diesel leak and our plans change. Trying to find replacements or reliable help while traveling the caribbean can be tough at times, but today we’re lucky. Not only do we find a body shop to help us weld the fuel line, but we find the local mechanic everyone has been telling me about who just might be able to help us fix the broken anchor windlass. Tough times never last, only tough people last.

Glad you're safe and the boat held together!
Awesome 👏
Check at 3am, was subscribed! Watched this video was not subscribed any longer.
Well done on fix. The diesel shouldn't be that rough at idle. You have more air leaks.
Good thinking! Spare parts for future repairs. Maybe checking for the ones that may be difficult to acquire when traveling. Excellently done! Good job!
Thanks for the update señor😊
Man I really like the daily videos I look for them to show up everyday thank you
Those island guys are pure genius. Happy sailing
Flair kit , in your tool kit , then hand make one
Glad you were able to find repairs. And away you go.
I love the island mentality of we can fix anything
11:49 Charlie wants to help, or he was excited thinking you were leaving 🎉
Awesome.
It looks like your fuel filter bracket is loose? causing the line to crack. Good luck!
You're building knowledge and experience. Keep on keeping on.
That's my teacher Ignatius Mitchell…Taught me all. Things marine
Loving the videos man. Stoked you got the winch fixed. Seriously look forward to seeing your videos every day. When I’m not on an adventure I can still experience yours. Love from Australia!
A blessing in disguise!
Cheers to having a good day🍻
It's always the little things in life that always mean the most. Great episode. Adversity has a way of meeting great friends.
We all routing for you and following your journey 💪🏼👏🏼👏🏼💯
Yeeeeeehaw the salty sailor does it again! Good job on getting all that fixed and ready for your passage! ❤ feel better knowing you have a working windlass at least! Good job on the video ❤️ lots of love
Is that the return line from the injectors back to the filter. Maybe that could be a flexible hose/ hydraulic grade.
Great to see that you had an awesome time on my island. I randomly came across your channel and enjoyed the content. The Indian River vid was amazing, no jinx from Calypso:).
My mechanics are all from Dominica and they're wonderful!
p.s. You're not a complete idiot. You're out there living your best life! Enjoy the journey!
Keep pushing brother
