Axles, Mangos and Hurricanes
This week we talk about our broken axle repair on our bumper pull camper. I hate it when the axle breaks. I was shocked that it can even happen. We have a Grey Wolf Bunk House Camper. It turns out I caused it by not maintaining the bearings and packing them every year of 5000 miles. We also show how we make fresh mango smoothies. They are so good and healthy and a great way to start the day. Lastly I provide some insight into our sailing plans and crossing the Gulf of Mexico and what the proper timing may be given all this hurricane activity. Gonzalo, Hanna and now Issias have us re-thinking our schedule for this trip.

Join us on our journey as we continue to rebuild, refit and prepare our Formosa 51 Sailboat for our continued cruising journey. We have always loved the Formosa, bought one (on a bit of a whim) late in 2014, moved aboard this one right away and started to do our refit while living board. We are avid fans of Cruising Outpost and Good Ole Boat (Good Old Boat) magazines and love the ideas we get from them.
