We pulled the brake master cylinder from Buster, our 1973 VW Westfalia. This and the brake booster are the ONLY things wrong with our brakes—despite the mechanic's $3,800+ estimate to replace everything. These parts? About $400 total when you order them yourself. Here's what a brake master cylinder is, how it works, and why you don't need to be intimidated by it. Roll up your sleeves, grab a wrench, and save thousands. Following our journey restoring Buster for $4K instead of $16K?

Matt and Lisa make the tough decision to Sail away from Key West, in the aftermath of hurricane Ian. Key West experienced it’s fair share of death and destruction during the storm, and with another storm possibly following the same path in nine days, the crew decided to start their adventure two months earlier than planned. The five day sail up to mainland was filled with poor weather, big waves, and little sleep. Once they arrive in Fort Lauderdale, they quickly work to get the sailboat stocked with food, fuel, and anything else they will need for their international travels. The last day Matt goes up the mast, to work on navigation lights and get the boat ready for its voyage. Check out Episode 34 https://youtu.be/jrNVeYGVZLo
