Pacific Solo YouTube Live on my Birthday

Thanks for joining my first YouTube Live. I have had a good week. I had a Birthday Dinner with Kande, Mac, Hitomi, and Ryan at our Log House on Thursday nite. Maria and Eli were unable to attend due to being in the Philippines to renew their passports. Then Ryan drove me back to the boat on Friday where I am doing final preparations to go back to sea on Tuesday. Thanks to all those who joined the q&a and to wish me Happy Birthday.
