Upgrading to an electric outboard! | Wayfinders Now #36

Hey Y'all, After experiencing gas leaks and noise from the used two-stroke outboard we'd bought, we finally make the switch to an electric outboard! We're Esther and Michael, an American couple with writing and photography backgrounds. In 2017, we sold our loft in Atlanta and moved aboard a 1994 Island Packet 35 named Hope that needed some love (and boat work after sitting on the hard for over three years!). As we learn how to become better sailors, we're especially interested in living small to gain abundance-cultivating sustainable living habits and having more time for nature and art! And we're learning about ways to 'live small' by reducing our waste footprint on and off the boat! If you liked this video and want to support our story production, please check out our Etsy shop and other links below. Thanks for supporting our story! Cheers, Esther and Michael and Hope Crew ?
