I was binge washing all night and you were one of the few women I came across that sailed alone and I hate to say this, but the amount of people that are coming at you and these comments is crazy. It’s very disturbing. Keep doing you girl you’re very inspiring.

Appreciate you!

[@Mcgregor854]

Keeping you in our prayers. I have been scuba diving for close to 40yrs. and treasure my time under the water. The first thing I do when I get to the bottom is let God know just how much I appreciate everything. So Lauren, enjoy your time and remember you are never alone.

Hey, I thought we'd pony up a bit more monthly so I hope it helps. Previously I mentioned making sure you are tethered and your response was appreciated. I raised two daughters who I treasure and who are taking on the world. Also, I am a retired Air Force fighter pilot so one extreme (diving) to the other (flying). Hang in there, there are a lot of us flying top cover for you.

AS a person that boated or worked on them for years I have kept Plastic Ties (Tie Raps) of different sizes as well as long and wide one.

[@danward8720]

The one invaluable asset you have is Mako. He'll keep an eye on you and look to keep you on an even keel emotionally. Cats are amazing at that. They know when things aren't right with you and be there to help. Also know you are in our thoughts and prayers. Fair winds and following seas sweetie...

[@adammarks9377]

Did the same thing in my mid 20’s long before social media in the 1990’s. Lived at sapphire marina running day charters on my Newport 41 but also lots of fun sailing all over especially in the off season . Best of luck in your endeavors . You will be challenged as I’m sure you’re finding out already keep in the machine going is challenging at the least . Being solo the most important things are your engine and your auto pilot when you lose either one things start to become very unpleasant quickly.

[@TeenaMayz]

Wow, this is amazing and impressive! Thank you for sharing! I admire you.❤

[@jakemarlow8998]

Another great video! So many people want to hate on Starlink because Elon has become the new boogeyman. I spend 3-4 months a year camping and surfing in remote Baja, Mexico where there's no Internet or cell service. Last trip, I met a few who had Starlink and it's awesome. I'll be ordering mine next month so I can get accurate surf and weather data when I'm out in the middle of nowhere! Stay safe and have fun!

Hi Ya, Not sure how your sailing video came up because I dont normally watch them. However, the more I watched the episode the more I realized your boat looks very familiar!! Ive got a 1992 50ft Oceanis. Yours is a 1993 I think. The best thing I ever did on my boat (Moonshadow) was remove the table in the cockpit. I purchased a portable boat table to use when needed (easy to set up and take down). Theres so much more room to maneuver in the cockpit now. Love it!!

[@peternairn4474]

Hi I like watching them again cause ya miss bits,, I would suggest staying intouch as much as you want, and this is a good test for everything and show whats important like water n autopilot,, Mako plays ball like a doggy, never seen that before, thanks again

Great video, creating you time. We have been Hydrovane since 1983, preferring the heavy weather setting in all conditions, steering a better course with the vane mounted off-center. Talk to Hydrovane about mounting options. They have solved a lot of installation problems.

[@stephenknight8334]

Lauren, can you imagine what your life would be like if all the little issues on your boat were fixed? I guess when they are happening, they don't seem all that little. Great episode. I was along with you as you were sailing. Outstanding footage, both on the boat and from the drone. The only way it could be more real for me would be if I turned a fan on and occasionally splashed some water in my face. 😅😮😂 But seriously, I was glued to the screen and hanging on every word you said. Just got my issue of Latitudes & Attitudes yesterday. I have found it to be a great asset, because it has a lot of the equipment that is on your boat, in the advertisements, so I can visualize some of your trials. Honestly I was breathless watching this one. You continue to amaze me how talented you really are, now it sounds like I am gushing as much as your waterline. 😊😊😊 To say I am looking forward to your next adventure is such an understatement. 💙💙💙 Until next time, be safe, be happy, and don't forget to recharge "YOUR" batteries too. Scruffles to Mako. 😊🙏😉🙏😎

Not sure what system you have and you hopefully have solved the problem but check and clean the ground connections on your battery's and other electric motors salt air will hasten corrosion which sucks /reduces the life out of the system.Once cleaned a little bearing grease spread on the terminals will elongate maintenance intervals.Thanks for sharing,I love your cat

Hello Lauren, about your autopilot. Check this setting and make sure to set to Normal. Select Menu > Setup > User Autopilot Setup. Power Mode Sets the device power mode to normal or economy mode. Economy power mode allows you to set the percentage of power used to run the autopilot. Rob

Aw thank you

[@oschonrock]

Don't get a Hydrovane. Get a Windpilot Pacific. Much better and cheaper and nicer looking. (You should still fix your autopilot though, backups are good! From your symptoms I would check ALL electrical connections. "Sometimes works" is almost always a "contact issue". )

[@Cerventis]

Electrical interference was noted on another video. Owner relocated some of the electrical lines to offset. Not sure that made sense electrically but he was satisfied.

[@oschonrock]

​@@Cerventis Could be.. but why then "sometimes works and sometimes not".. unless she is turning something on and off, and Lauren would have worked out that correlation by now? These things are hard to fault find anyway, let alone when you are not on the boat ;-)

[@petersavage6211]

Yes, corrosion. Lauren, pour yourself a beer and clean every electric connection on the autopilot with some sandpaper and reconnect. With a bit of dielectric grease if you have some. Bet it will help. Works great for starter motors too…lol

[@soilgrasswaterair]

What is it with you guys, to so often feel a need to tell women what to do?!

[@oschonrock]

@@soilgrasswaterair Absolutely nothing to do with Lauren being a woman. I just happen to have 3 decades of experience with Autopilots and windvanes (using, fixing & building). I would tell anyone of any gender with similar challenges the same thing.
