Trouble in the Tuamotus: The DARK SIDE of living on a Catamaran DIY REMOTE BOAT REPAIRS (64)
Daniel says problems come in threes and that is proving true this week. Daniel repairs or replaces everything from cabin fans to our dinghy carburetor to our windlass. We even lose our plug to our dinghy! We are thousands of miles from any major land mass so Daniel Brown has to improvise, adapt....and overcome. Is it worth being out here on the water? Or are we all wishing to be back to land life?
