Episode 474 : The Hard Push North Hello Friends, It was finally time to try and make my way to a boatyard to build Triteia's new rudder and unexpectedly repower the boat after the success of the GoFund Me Campaign that Victoria oversaw. I will never be able to thank everyone enough for the unbelievable kindness and support. The campaign looked to raise $6500 for a new long shaft outboard, a new dinghy and funds to help with the rudder build. Fans and followers of the channel contributed $59,500 dollars in 20 days before we end the campaign. And while now I had the funds to properly prepare Triteia for the rest of the circumnavigation, I still needed to get to the boatyard without a working engine 😬 If you enjoy the channel please "Like" the videos and Subscribe so you don't miss any future episodes.
