Lithium Battery Failure on Our NEW Boat

Our boat problems continue in Thailand! After replacing the generator control unit, we were hoping our problems were finally solved… unfortunately, that wasn’t the case.

With more repairs needed, we pack our bags and leave the boat yet again, checking back into an Airbnb while the technicians try to figure out what’s going wrong.

Since there’s not much we can do but wait, Nika and I rent another scooter and head out to explore the island. This time we find an absolutely beautiful waterfall and get some incredible photos along the way.

Then we finally get some news about the boat — both good and bad.

The good news is that we can move back aboard and start using the boat again. The bad news? We’ve had a battery failure, which means we’re now operating with only HALF of our original battery capacity.

After everything that’s happened, it’s definitely disappointing to have another major component fail. But after spending so much time living in Airbnbs instead of on our new boat, we’re just happy to finally be back aboard and moving forward again.

Thanks for watching and following along with the adventure!

We Found the WEIRDEST Place in Thailand!

Our boat is broken… again. So while we wait for repairs, we grab an Airbnb on Koh Samui, rent a motorbike, and set out to explore the island.

They’re Making Me Leave Thailand

Our time cruising Thailand takes another unexpected turn. Before leaving the boat, Nika decides to enjoy one last swim off the back — and apparently swimsuits are optional. Then it’s time for me to leave Thailand for a quick visa run to Singapore while Nika and the dogs move into an Airbnb on Koh S...
