SDA68 There’s a Hole in the Bottom of my Boat!

We pull out our Airmar tri sensor while in the water! I can’t believe we opened a through-hull below the water line, while we’re in the water! An unscheduled thunderstorm filled our rain catchment, but it also filled our fuel and oil lazarette, so I bring out the bucket of suck. But eventually we go...

SDA67 Stranded in Norfolk … Remove and Replace Volvo MD2030 Transmission Cable

SDA49 Is the GoPro Red Lens Worth It? (for underwater shots)

We compared our GoPro Hero 7 Black with a red lens filter to our GoPro Hero 10 Black with no filter to see what worked better for underwater filming in the shallow, clear blue waters of White Point in the Bahamas.
