SSL 316 ~ We get our NEW HIGHFIELD DINGHY and YAHAMA ENGINE in St Martin!!
This is the episode we’ve all been waiting for… what happened to PACMAN?!? Yes, our old centre console dinghy is sold, and we finally take possession of a new lighter, stronger dinghy made by Highfield Boats that has a double aluminum hull and a new Yamaha 25hp 4-stroke motor… this baby flies! Now we are ready for the start of new travels we’ve been dreaming about for the past years, and even have FKG Machine in St Martin rebuild out davits into a single lift arm on a single line, so one person can pull the dinghy out of the water with ease on one winch… AWESOME!!!!
Hope you enjoy the video, this was a big day for us and all thanks to you guys.. thanks for your ongoing support in helping us make all these upgrades so we can continue moving forward to new travels and bring you guys the new content you’ve been waiting for.. .Much love from Team SSL!!
Cheers,
Captain Rick & Crew

First test of the Teslong TD450S two-way articulating inspection camera aboard Sophisticated Lady. We were running a hose for our new PureOcean Marine Pro140 watermaker and it kept catching somewhere we couldn't see. So we put the camera in the hole and looked around: it was blocked by foam, an...
