Dead 12V battery in paradise (Patreon)

Hi guys!

In this week's video, our 12V house battery decides to throw in the towel. Fortunately, we were prepared for this to happen, and we could still enjoy our time in Barabuda :)

In real-time news: We shot this video around three weeks ago. Since then, we have sailed to the BVI, and Ava has abandoned me to fend for myself for the next month while she works with her sister in New York. I have some great ideas for what to do with my newfound bachelor lifestyle ;) I'm going to study for my ABYC Electrical certification (mentioned in the video) and experiment with some 3D printed mold making. My main reason for 3D printing the molds is to get better at Fusion 360 so that I can design our new dingy in CAD, but I have no idea if I can get good enough to do that before this summer. Right now, I'm at the "drawing a stick figure" level of Fusion 360. I took a photo of the kill-cord plastic doohickey for our outboard and modeled that so I could 3D print it. The good news is it actually works, but the next tricky step is making the mold.

I hope you're having a fantastic weekend :) Thank you so much for your support! :)
