Looking good!!!

[@kensmith3665]

Thanks for the ongoing story of your adventure. Never forget that what you are up to is extremely interesting and your work videography/ publishing has value to a lot of viewers. The kind of learning you are doing is the best kind.... doing it yourself and getting help from experts when needed allows you to level up your game as you go.... I hope you feel a sense of pride and confidence from all the experiences you are having... and you will be able to help fellow sailors more and more as you gain experience. Way to go Man!

[@interrogation-files]

The black looks really good tbh.

[@wallabybob3020]

A Hooligan next to a Ruffian! Nice one.

[@Team33Team33]

Absolutely great video. I spent a long time of my younger years restoring old wooden boats. First time projets always take longer than expected simply because you have to "find out". All that experience learned on Hooligan will be useful for the next time ... 🙂 Good to see you are taking care of her. Safe and interesting travels Garrett. I would have put the prop shaft through the stern tube fitting to make sure of the alignment - all nuts left loose and then tightened them up once aligned. ??????

“Babe wake up Garrett just dropped a new video “

[@khwaac]

You shut up

[@rosiegreddogyachts4135]

Patience is your friend. Te main thing is you didn't blow it off and move on half assed. A few days of good effort translates into a year of good sailing. Not a baad trade off. You are resilient and handy. Learning is what you get when you are young. Good thing you started early :)

[@tmog1000]

Made me smile when you said about changing the cutlass bearing. I have done several and they have all been difficult! LOL

[@voodoochile7581]

Garret, your boat is so small, it’s only when it’s out the water I can really appreciate how small Hooligan is. The fact you sail across the ocean alone on her is such a brave thing to do. I respect you for that,

[@bozeiky]

Love your uploads! You have amazing patience and willingness to learn. It'll all pay off in the end, and I'm happy and inspired that we're all able to see your progress.

[@alicenotinwonderland4567]

Incredible and absolutely inspiring! Your journey is a beautiful and blessed one, Garret!

[@User0283-z2v]

First! Thanks for the new video. Always happy when you upload.

[@SunshinesART]

Grandma Sunshine here, and still keeping you in my prayers. I’m so proud of how far you’ve sailed, and I believe in you, Garret. Sending love and light to you from South Carolina .💛🌞🌻🌻✨✨✨✨✨✨🕊️

[@kenlassiter-km8sw]

Just like normal life there are so many learning curves. You are doing great though. I can't wait to see you back on the water. Merry Christmas!!!

[@jrbugans]

Excellent work. Inspiring to see you stick with it to get the job done completely, stay safe out there young man!

[@DebMoon17]

Thanks for the update Garrett - your knowledge is increasing exponentially!! Looking forward to hearing more about celestial navigation. Take care! Deb in Oz 😊

[@davidholland2180]

Well, Garrett, looks like you are getting it done and learning a lot along the way, keep it up, always great to see and hear from you. And hello from Center Point Texas.

[@etwanfredrich9514]

Does anyone remember iamjake and his jeep adventures in their prime? You give the same energy. Two totally different types of adventure,but still the same spirit of adventure. Subbed

[@njbaskipper]

Mr. Garrett you must overcome states of discouragement, they are mental states. The more orderly and clean you have the boat, the less opportunistic diseases or viruses will appear. When you are going to polish bronze, use a 60 mm diameter wire brush attached to a grinding machine to clean the metal. Do not scratch the bronze, brush it circularly. Good job...

[@thelittledojo]

Such great filming. The seagulls at the beginning of Fire! Love the work videos as much as the adventure. Brings back memories of my early days fishing. Thank you for sharing your adventures.

[@kydanstephenson4847]

Thank you soo much for still uploading and giving us a chance to experience your adventures

[@Equilibrium4321]

You're really living life my friend

[@calvinc5961]

Hey Garrett, I really enjoy your sailing adventures as they are awesome. I always wanted to do the same thing but I always seen to get sea sick. As long as I stay on deck I am ok. If I go below then I end up getting sick. Perhaps I just have to get use to sailing the seas. I like your boat as you have done a great job in keeping things ship shape.

[@brianfields4479]

Nice to see you again, fit and well living the life, well done mate. Cheers from brian in nz.

[@cclemoyne4033]

Personally, I would just drill out the stripped threads and use the next size tap and new bolt. Thanks for the videos and cheers from Montreal

[@crashdavis3330]

Keep going Amigo! Now you are an expert w Stern Tubes. Lol.

[@sirtfdon]

You mentioned recently a desire to get into celestial navigation. An easy start, if you have a sextant, is to just enable the Celestial Navigation plugin to the OpenCPN chartplotter, which you've mentioned is one you use. You can get quick results that way and then start studying how to reproduce them without a computer through far more laborious methods. The principle of celestial navigation is quite simple: every celestial object lies straight overhead some particular point on Earth at a specific time. If you observe that object with a sextant and determine its zenith distance (angle to straight overhead) is, say, 20 degrees (that is, an elevation of 70 degrees), then that means you are 20 degrees away on the Earth from that point where the object is straight overhead. So every sextant reading (angle and time) constraints your position on the globe to a circle. Two sextant readings limit you to one of the (at most two) intersections of those circles (generally you already know where you are to the point where one is excluded). The more readings you make, the better you can average your error. Of course there are lots of corrections to be made, but OpenCPN does that for you. You can start learning what they are and how to do it on paper later. By zooming out you can see the circles generated by each of your observations and where they intersect. By zooming in to that intersection you can see how much three or more "miss" and estimate how well you're doing in making sextant readings. (expertise: professional astronomer, amateur sailor)

[@jamesvanian5524]

Great work Garret,t although difficult you managed it. Boat work is always a little tricky. I hope the rest of the jobs you have to do are a little bit easier. Keep well and safe. James.

[@tvonzweck]

There are no simple boat jobs. I am on the hard in Mexico and just had to make a custom 30" x 2" coring bit to drill out a damaged fiberglass stern tube. I would have loved to have had a bronze tube that just slides out after removing two bolts. However, the windlass redo is the ongoing job that has taken days of one arm work as my boat is about the same length as yours with a very small anchor / windlass locker. Have fun amigo!

[@mark3308]

you have very good taste in interlude/B-Roll music

[@MrCAlbert18]

Keep up the content brother. Fascinating to follow along.

[@ChristyCrosby-e4y]

Outsmarted by a mosquito 😂 that can’t be good. Thanks great video 🙋‍♀️

[@loldude102]

Highlight of my week right here

[@edwardmacnab354]

Applying heat to metal with a torch will differentially expand the two parts so they become easier to separate . I always apply heat first in these scenarios . It even works opening jars .

[@neilquigley1030]

Tedious in the extreme - good perseverance!!

[@darcsin5889]

Cool vid, love seeing this maintenance stuff as well - maybe that cheers you up a little while doing this stuff haha. Keep it up

[@mnbsay9548]

Good to see your update. Good health and fair winds, Garret 😊

[@dude97x]

I just spent 3 hours emptying my bilge on my boat so it wont freeze. My boat is docked a bit badly, with its stern bit lower than the middle so I couldn't just pump out all the water, I had to use a towel to drain the engine compartment. Its now -2°C and my hands were frozen to a point I couldn't feel my fingers. Now Im inside, I have a meal Infront of me and Im watching you in your island paradise :D

[@aalibasah2394]

Yeahhhh Thanks Garrett for the upload. Take care❤😊

[@MasterBalloon]

Nice work. enjoy your adventures!

[@kadenboleyn8291]

Hey man, you should invest in a die grinder and bur bits. And maybe a half inch drive impact gun. Might help you out on your adventures. Good luck!

[@sproket168]

You're still going, kid. Well done.

[@GeorgeWaymire]

Great update video, Garrett!

[@SCOTT-vm5nj]

You’re doing great! The rudder is of course super important so get it right!!! But get it!!! Probably the most important 😮thing to get right…😅

[@jimproud3116]

Thanks Garrett, enjoyed the video.

[@DaleShirley-o1u]

Great to see you again Amigo!

[@ltdan4154]

love the maintenance vids! keep it up!

[@AndreAKAua]

Awesome work. Keep it up

[@davegriff1593]

I enjoyed that.

[@robertgold2643]

Impressive stuff my friend… 👍

[@stephenbuscke]

Your going well Garrett👍

[@jagcf]

You're incredibly talented for your age 🤩 Im in awe every time I see you fixing the boat up. Are you a mechanic by trade?. Cheers from Sweden

[@thesquirrelchroniclesakare7808]

She looks good to go now. I didn’t realize the amount of maintenance was so high

[@leroysmith8203]

It takes a lot of patience to have a boat… Good job. 🤓

[@Andy-dt8jg]

Good work, keep it up and you'll get there. Great opening scene of NZ from the drone 😀 The black AF looks good. Did you get an video of you using your new board?

[@brankbrankbrank]

Enjoyed this one!

[@d2ndborn]

You learn by doing, and doing and doing. So now next time if you have to do this or similar stuff you will know. Keep the updates coming Garrett

[@shawnmcfly5705]

Welcome to NZ Garrett!

[@tyraJArends]

Cool mangrove story - fun fact did you know that the reason that Hawaii’s mangroves are harmful while beneficial elsewhere is that we lack natural aerators in our mangrove ecosystem soils? This leads to mangroves in Hawaiian areas ruining soil composition, eating up all surrounding nutrients due to the anoxic conditions created by the lack of aerators.

[@markfrye9178]

When you were explaining your plan for cyclones, you mentioned the mangroves have a mud bottom. Why is that an advantage? Thanks

[@Rok887-n4w]

Let's see surfing footage!

[@loganfe4925]

Wicked content

[@victala2495]

How did you get back to your boat from New Zealand

[@ableaquariums5480]

Your opening scene setting had a confusing narrative when you open with titles stating you are in NZ but immediately flip to the boat in a different country without new titles. Just something to watch for and work on. Loving your journey.

[@shoutatthesky]

That confused the hell out of me too!

[@kmm.]

Thanks for the video, if you have talked about it before I missed it but what do you do to earn money? Take care

When doing your sealant. Tape up, and pimpt it on, then dip your fingers in water + dishsoap. Smooth over with fast long motions and it will bridge the tape perfectly and look like it was done by a machine.

[@tschuuuls486]

With Sikaflex you need to wear gloves, because it's extremely tedious to get off your fingers and it gets everywhere in the process.

[@dandrakenholt5455]

Nice meeting you. Now you got a stalker from Sweden... Best wishes/Dan

[@asquithmainlines699]

Things are seldom as easy to do as we imagine them to be. Especially since you are dealing with the effects of salt water. Next time you do it with the knowledge you have gained it will be much easier. Experience always makes things easier.

Hi I'm Garrett, I'm 20 years old and my dad is super 'effing rich!

[@shoutatthesky]

How did you suddenly get from New Zealand to some other Pacific Island? One minute you're in Picton and then you're talking about cyclones and cruising into the mangroves? It's a bit hard to follow bro!

[@robbailey9344]

dawg you forgot to change your blinker fluid

[@hinz1]

Why not just install the bearing tube with the shaft in place?? That way, it is kept in alignment, no matter what you do.

[@BrompMed]

@garett hi bro if you ever pass by Singapore plz let me know, I can help 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 all the best

[@laurapayne9254]

Garrett correct me if I’m wrong but I seen an episode of you the first time I think you had just left Hawaii and you were 18 I never hear you speak about your family I’d like to know when you saw them last and as much as I love boats, the water, the ocean I still think your parents would be so worried about you. Can you please give us a little bit of an update I’m a 63 year old mother and grandmother and I just worry a little bit about you also
