Bro! That sequence about midway through of your boat en route to Moorea/Huahine(?) wth the sparsely populated island and peaks is fantastic! Absolutely gorgeous scene, great music choice. Stunning.

I did 10 fiji years on my 30 footer at muskett cove. Surfing my brains out at namotu and Wilks. Tavarua was private back then. But namotu was not. I was allowed at tavarua but preferred to empty namotu waves in the 90s. Fiji people are awesome. Indian food is cheap and tasty. You're going to love fiji.

Done Muskett cove a couple times and used to know the Ozzie guys who rented Namotu ….I preferred surfing there to Tavarua …..only restaurants occasionally and Wilkes passage my fav. That was 27 years ago and maybe due a trip back

@HandsONreviews4u Ай бұрын

@@garrettsadventure yeah I could imagine you thinking the wind would down your drone? Me too bro. My first drone was the bulky GoPro KARMA which did hit the water and I lost everything. But GoPro ran an investigation into my flight log through Wi-Fi and they deemed it the drones fault and they sent me a brand new one. But I ended up selling it on Facebook marketplace and using some of the money to buy the DJI mini 2. DJI is actually a good drone and reliable, but I stopped flying any drone over water. Anyhow you have a good eye for the camera with music and shots who knows your videos can eventually become a sitcom down the road🙋‍♂️ Anyway i continue to watch anything sailing these days including movies. White squall my favorite teen movie, Master and Commanders and the Bounty with Mel Gibson. Looking forward to your next episode.

Take the motor out of windlass...its easy to do. Good chance its a Nissan starter motor so in Papeete. Otherwise, its a motor and an alternator shop can rebuild. If it is a control box, theirs not much there either. You can take it apart and see the problem. Most problems with anything on a boat is the connections. If you used welding wires on your windlass, check for any holes or punctures in the insulation.

@garrettsadventure Ай бұрын

It's ancient, just gonna buy new. Thanks for the tips though!

@CessnaPilot99 Ай бұрын

@garrettsadventure a new windlass of that size capacity is about 5k. You can rebuild it for 500. If you buy a new cheap like lewmar windlass..they are garbage, they don't build them like they used to yours is built like a tank, a windlass like that is very desirable. If you buy a new $1300 lewmar it will likely will be broken within a year.
