REAL LIFE of a SOLO SAILOR [ep 73]

Some weeks it feels like every single thing that can go wrong does. We, as sailors, will anxiously wait for a part, thinking it will solve all of our problems. It's far from the truth, but it definitely makes us feel better. I attempt to replace the shaft seal, IN THE WATER. You HAVE to watch this if you are replacing yours... it really wasn't that big of a deal. Afterwards, I continue on my journey... feeling a little hopeless; which can be the reality of living aboard sometimes. Huge shoutout to @bdale2 for helping out with the shaft seal!! As well as bringing community to most of the anchorages he is in by hosting weekly concerts (: Give a little extra support 💞 The circumnavigation is JUST beginning... all of your help goes towards more gear to make the videos a bit better and the boat safer and more functional for myself as a single hand (and maybe an extra treat for Mako) PATREON COMMUNITY: https://www.patreon.com/laurenlanders Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/souldelamar Venmo: https://account.venmo.com/u/souldelamar Mako Treats: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/laurenalanR Merchandise: https://www.souldelamar.com/shop/ Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/WT5UKPG3ITDP/ref=nav_wishlist_lists_3 Things I use & love (these are affiliate links and helps me out a little bit): Sunscreen: www.Stream2Sea.com code: “laurenalanders” Clothing: www.thesilkco.com code: “Lauren Landers Sailing” Coffee: https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=1765969&u=3110145&m=110103&urllink=&afftrack= Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/shop/_laurenlanders Groceries via Thrive membership: http://thrv.me/WzJrbh Water Filter Sink: https://www.acuvatech.com/shop/?ref=laurenlanders Instagram instagram.com/laurenlanders instagram.com/makoatsea
