Get 70% OFF of your next Huusk knife! huusk.club/ExpeditionEvans. How about that extra ending, did you enjoy??

[@Blazingstar75]

I think they might be a scam... I think they are a Chinese scam company saying that they sell Japanese knifes... Just be careful, even top KZbinrs have fallen for companies like this. Just be careful...

[@dan711g]

I feel your pain on the wiring Brett, however you got plenty of time to work on it :-) probably something simple it always is... Hope you got a couple of handhelds laying around

[@binster691]

It's a cliff hanger episode! I'll be waiting impatiently until you find and fix the electrical problem. 😬👍

[@ronmenator]

Love the ending, hope you get it resolved :)

[@mikethompson2137]

Don’t you just love wiring? 25:10

[@robm7543]

It's been a couple of weeks, I hope you guys are doing well.

[@jaegeratsea]

Are you guys ok? It has been over a month since your last posting. We like to see what your doing and enjoy your adventures, hardships and successes. Sure wish you could put our more regular 20 - 30 min. Videos. Good luck. Hope to hear from you soon.

[@MelWade]

Looking forward to another video! Hope all is well.

[@joaopachecovip]

yes ,i love❤️guys...😘kiss from Portugal

[@dennisbyrd489]

Just watched your video of a month ago about being taken down because of complaining!!! YOU GUYS ARE GREAT !!! You keep going guys and we will keep watching. You both are beautiful spirits and beautiful people. God has blessed you!!! We love you here in Alabama!😘

[@monicasgh68]

I just love that you include your dogs in everything! So happy you guys are loving responsible dog parents! 🐕 ❤️

[@raymckee2450]

I love that you are getting into fishing. From knowing nothing at all, to landing a few is great to watch. You really do need a gaff though, and you will not lose so many. They take a little getting used to but, are a very real necessity!! I rarely comment, but I am loving this adventure you are on. Thankyou for taking us with you!!!

[@sacredboswellia1443]

Absolutely loved that you showed yourself checking the pavement and ramp temp for your dog's feet. You guys are good eggs!!❤

[@tonyochse2248]

So glad you two are continuing to post your journey and your growth as a couple

[@onenuttybuddy]

Love the channel. Very happy you have decided to push ahead with YT videos despite the aholes out there creating problems for your channel. At your next port of call, find a hardware store. You need to buy a pair of wire strippers, a pair of wire cutters, wire connector crimpers, and a handheld butane torch for heating shrink wrap tubing. Oh, and buy a package of various diameters of heat shrink tubing, buy a large box of various types of wiring connectors. You are looking for a box of connectors with mainly red, yellow and blue sized connectors. Each color represents a different diameters of wire connector. Buy a 3 pack of electrical tape. Get rid of that liquid stuff before you burn your boat down. Buy a package of zip ties of various lengths. You can use these to neatly bundle wires together. Buy a basic multimeter. They require batteries. I've always had one that requires a 9V battery, those are square ones. Find a medium sized plastic toolbox to keep all of these things in one place, including the box of various wire connectors. Lastly, find a descent bookstore and buy a book about basic wiring. After buying all the tools and the book, go back to your boat, hit the books and learn about how to properly fix wires that have had their insulation rub through, and how to fix them correctly. Now fix the recent repairs you made to the generators wiring box before someone gets electrocuted, or the boat catches fire. Or ask a fellow cruiser to show you how to do these kinds of electrical repairs, correctly. Have fun.

[@briantrenorden8633]

Glad to see you guys back again. May you have smooth seas and fair winds.

[@darennehls5772]

I'm so glad you are still blessing us with your journey. I have been watching from the beginning and think you both rock.

[@jayhays9192]

Enjoy the conciliation prize a bit. Then get back to work you Swaby 😮 😂 Have a great day and may the winds be at your back. Merry Christmas to…..🎄

[@DanielTiffany-o8i]

Being a lot behind your probably not reading these but that’s ok . I can pretend. 🏝️ you’re doing wonderfully. I’ve learned a lot from you, not only sailing and repair, but , also courage and beauty. Wonderful. ⛵️

[@rwcox8666]

a couple of quick fishing suggestions, forget the hand lines use rods and reels, a landing net and gaff are essential for getting your fish in the boat.

[@_pic_7571]

On the generator, the thing you called a resistor is a diode. Probably used as a filter to prevent static on the radio, or some noise reduction for gen. instruments. Resistors will have colored stripes to label the value of resistance. The grey band on the diode is to mark polarity. So electric flows in one direction.

[@WaldoKitty]

remember changing the "spark suppressor" aka "noise filter" on distributors with the contact points... those are capacitors... a diode's main function is, as you noted, to keep the power flowing in one direction only... with four diodes, you can turn AC into (rippled) DC... that's known as a bridge rectifier... add a few more components and you can smooth the DC a lot more...

[@djchilto]

I cannot stress enough that you need to "know" what your connecting to where electrically...and worse case scenario is way worse than it just not working...ie...electrical fire at sea=worst-case scenario.

[@alissamike]

I hope episode 99 wasn't your last! Wife and I really enjoy your adventures

[@kptbillburkett8735]

I hope everything is ok! Haven't seen a video in three weeks. I hope ya'll didn't give up on making videos. Until next time Aloha from the Big Island of Hawaii!

[@debbieadamson1591]

I too love your videos & how you support each other, love your dogs too, lovely how you include them, (could still see more of them) another thing I so enjoy with your programs is that you don't add music in, it's so beautiful hearing the wind in the sails & the yacht gliding through the sea. Just magic. Keep up the great filming.

[@gnsmk357]

Major win is that the togetherness is still working strong and with this you two can do anything. Great Videos.

[@ELLA.1983]

Love all the details about all your edventures inside and outside Eva🥰

[@allynonderdonk7577]

You need to get a couple of RV filters on the incoming water when you fill. Especially a carbon filter to remove Chlorine from land based water supplies. If you rinse your water maker's membranes with Chlorinated water they will fail. Get a couple of waterproof Baofeng radios. You can use them as marriage savers with headphones and you can even get waterproof/resistant ones for around 35 dollars. VHF and Ham radio models. You can also talk to each other over miles of water.

[@Animalwon]

You should consider coating your battery's terminals so they don't short when you drop tools on them. In a earlier episode Jade dropped a tool on the batteries which made them spark.

[@iceman1980sc]

you need a Fishing Net 🤣

[@Garymt123]

Your editing skills are really good, no, very good. You keep us entertained and interested. Thank you for putting so much effort into each episode and sharing your wonderful life and relationship with us all.

[@jacobmeinig2338]

Hey guys! Just wanna say how much I enjoy following along with you adventures! I really enjoy the effort you guys put into the videos and sharing your experiences with us!!! Coming from an avionics tech (also a charter pilot) but two tips to hopefully make soldering in the future easier is heat the wire first then apply solder to the wire which is know as “tinning the wires” then solder them together. Also, stagger your solder joints, strip a little extra insulation in the cable ends and aim to have the joints not able to contact each other when the cable is pulled taught, then when you shrink tube each individual joint. Especially in a wet salt environment it will help A Ton!!! Again, you guys rock!!!

[@davidschnell2591]

Hi guys. Been missing you. We hope all is AOK. Just hanging on for some sign you are still with us. ❤

[@tommagnum2530]

We miss y'all and your videos. Hope you are well and looking forward to the next video.

[@narr0wm1nd49]

You need to open up the drag on that reel. The fish should be able to run without breaking the line. Given your boat speed I bet you are losing fish on the handlines as well. The drag is there to give the fish the chance to run without yanking the hook out or breaking the line.

[@pkane5472]

I agree. I also think that when you hook up, you should turn in to the wind to reduce boat speed so you can work the fish in.

[@christophermcgarry3832]

We love you! Hurry back.

[@CharlesHopkins]

Great video as always, EE. When Brett was in the lazaret repairing the generator, I noticed noticed that one of your extension cords has what appears to be a black scorch mark on the face of it, behind Brett at 19:49 in the video. You might want to take a look at that.

[@davexvs]

yup deffo some heat going on to the top middle pin hole

[@vernebrown4441]

A good thing to have on boat or car is heat shrink tubing. Keep up the good work. Enjoy 🙂

[@belindachappell9875]

I find your videos so soothing ❤ loved the surprise ending and if it’s any consolation even though your wiring didn’t work you still seem super smart Brett. I love how supportive and handy you both are. It must make living this life that little bit easier when things go wrong. I can’t imagine living at sea and not knowing how to fix stuff or even have a go. You are both very inspiring

[@Lizzybaby30500]

Awww baby pups being carried by mom and dad they look so happy ❤

[@rigamortischevy8213]

Hopefully y’all are good and just having some amazing adventures we get to see. Praying for y’all

[@AJUSNVet]

Fair winds & following seas!! Safe travels! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@susannash7710]

Have fun!

[@bobd9775]

J,B the last thing you want is to get a big fish on and get line wrapped around your hand. I recommend good gloves when hand fishing

[@theunstoppabledriver6978]

@24:47 I would probably be much, much more inclined to be a project guy if I had a consolation prize like Brett does! 😂😂 Amazing support. Much respect. 💪🏻💪🏻

[@leannashinhurst9451]

I miss you. Hope your having a wonderful safe time. Love you both

[@stephenprouty8728]

... loved the extra ending ... also I really enjoy Dingo's enthusiasm on the tender ready to get onshore ... thank you for taking us along on you adventures ...

[@jonathanvince8173]

When testing wires like that you need a long wire on the tester red side and the black wire on the colour wire of testing so you test all the wires to see which one is connected to the test wire.

[@peterclancy3653]

Suggestion about hand fishing line, have a leather finger guard for your first finger, a big fish will apply enough force to cut your skin. Gloves are not a good option. Also winding a line under a lot of tension onto a reel can cause the reel to split when the line dries( some new types of line don’t shrink). My brother in law was a tug driver and they would always troll with a thin stainless or braided synthetic line ( breaking strain 150 kg+ ) for easy retrieval and where you get small fish there will be larger fish. Some of the mackerel and tuna fish can be eaten raw by soaking small cubes in vinegar with a bit of chilli and soy sauce theses should be bled as soon as they are caught. I use to always wear a knife at sea, I don’t know what the modern ideas are but if you are working a boat with lines ( fishing or sailing ) especially in rough seas a knife is a good safety device! Fair winds!

[@arthurbeaumont6010]

I gave you a thumbs up anyway IM ENJOYING WATHCHING YOUR ADVENTURES. Take care Arthur

[@VWrijder77]

Nice episode! Loved the bonus ending! I bet that consolation prize was worth the effort ☺️

[@steventweed3599]

I'm so glad I found you guys by accident several days ago and have been binge watching like yall are Yellowstone. What yall are doing is something I'll never get to so I'll live vicariously through you. I know nothing about sailing and was stunned at how much Diesel Fuel that thing holds!

[@antoniegill7994]

Hi guys, I suggest some gloves when hand fishing, if there is a sudden jerk on the line, it can cut into your hands which will suck. If you dont have also get a lip gripper which is tied off to the boat to ensure you never lose a good one. Hope you start catching the fish destined to match your culinary expectations! 🎉

[@stuffilike4498]

Watched to the end, cliff hanger ending if the combination of wires were ever put in the right order! Got plenty of time to try every combination on this leg 😂 🎣

[@warvol1]

The dogs leap and landing were incredible. Merry Christmas and Traveling Mercies!!

[@pyrocl0]

Wiring something like that is always a pain! I would have gone about it the same way! Bummer man! I feel your pain!

[@chriskolin1096]

I've been watching your videos for a while now. We live in Colorado with what has been a very cold winter. When I'm tired of the cold and snow I've really enjoyed watching your Caribbean water / island adventure, kinda helps warm me up a little. Thanks for sharing your adventures!!

[@andrewwilliams7508]

Remember how important it is to use the outboard killcord. It can save your life!.

[@mikestark3212]

Hey guys. You need to get a gaff and or a net on a pole to get your fish out of the water. Please.... you need this

[@mwokozitaylor2794]

You guys almost got me. I almost missed the extra footage. I have now been trained like Pavlov's dog so that when I heard the ending music I almost close the window. Good trick, and good luck on the Starlink.

[@deborahbaker3136]

Ha yes thanks for your tip…got me too😅

[@jonathandao7117]

Hope everyone have a good day 👍

[@michaelfischetti1218]

Very interested to hear about which Starlink you are using, have fun on the passage!

[@wjhann4836]

It's soo funny, Penny is looking at your fishing attempts - like hurry up, I'm hungry😆

[@stevebaker4728]

Glad to see you back!

[@janpalmers4845]

I say it again you guys are awesome…. And Jade yur editing is 100%!! Good Journey to the lands of Samba - Merenge and Lito Barrientes!! 😊

[@JohnCarstairs1961]

I must admit that with Jade being your consolation prize, who would care if they succeeded? Merry Christmas to you both from bonnie Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@marileecassidy7393]

Congrats on 300K subscribers!

[@ExpeditionEvans]

Thank you!!

[@janecme]

Those hand lines look hard work for fishing - ouch! Also the man should've maybe suggested a landing net cuz all them fish are getting away. Good stuff guys :) Sparks?! Holy Moly - you need to fix that in your locker with possible combustible fluids etc. Would you fly a plane with liquid insulation gloop?

[@mikaylaharding1483]

Just finished watching ALL of your videos and I absolutely love you guys and what you are doing! (And the puppers!) Sail safe and I can’t wait for the next 😊😊

[@DanielTiffany-o8i]

It seams to me you’re better organized than some. I respect that a lot. 🙂

[@krisk9987]

Starlink? Great!

[@henribunskoek7556]

Miss you guys

[@chrisjordan6627]

We are in progress with binge watching your channel. We just wanted to say how much we love you guys! You guys are an inspiration and prove every day how life is supposed to be lived. We are so proud of both of you! Forget all the haters. It’s too bad they are so insecure and jealous! You guys have life figured out and we adore how much you all are absolutely in love and how happy you are. Keep going for it!!!

[@stormer6364]

With your radio problem, always carry a patch lead and adapter so your hand held can be connected to your masthead aerial.. Always have back-ups. Great job finding the generator issue.

[@jimalden7130]

Lol well they guy at fish place gave you great advice . Here's more when you get it to back of boat use a gaff hook. Also cuban reel , gloves bring in line quickly then roll back up. Its wired wrong no mater what color your using make it same same all the way threw. Lights were Key West

[@clarksonjones6474]

Brett, NEVER leave the swim platform without harness on ! :) Even in calm weather, Jade would be hard-pressed to turn the boat by herself and find you ! Much love, Captain Clarkson here with 100K+miles

[@johnjunior6101]

This is a great way to brighten up a gloomy grey winter day. Stay safe and have fun in al that you do.

[@tiborkiss9186]

We love your channel! Don't quit!

[@wow.sailor.]

Wow Sailor 👍

[@johnlothridge5899]

Tried clicking on your link for the knife. Norton flagged it as a known dangerous web site and would not allow me to continue. Good Job on the generator, and good luck with the wiring on the microphone. If you have the wiring schematic for the raidio they will usually show you the original wire color and show you what pin number it was attached to. It will probably show you the mic end connector as well. Hopefully you get it all sorted out. It takes time but you can do it. Loved the extra footage at the end and was excited that you are now catching fish.

[@casskintas1]

Hope all is well. Just binge watched the build for some inspiration and I was going to up load a 4 page instruction on spigot removal then tell you to cut it of with a grinder. I was struck by your comments about the negative stuff you endure and your more recent comments about it’s not fun anymore Trust me think how really messed up their lives must be to have lost the joy and honesty your channel gives out. Please keep going I’m a full time carer for my quadriplegic wife and at 66 we are starting a new home and farm on 45 acres and your channel says let’s. You’re helping me a lot and I don’t know how but you do Thanks and feel sad for those who have lost the joy and adventure of life

[@wadeshore]

Nice how you take such good care of you pups and it shows

[@FredGallefoss]

You mentioned in an earlier video that majority of your followers are from outside the US. My tip is to mention Kilogram, meters, liters, celsius, etc, in addition to the special US measurements that most of the world have no relation to :-) (we have google of course).

[@ronmenator]

I just love your channel, you guys rock!

[@SaYeager]

Love following along your life is amazing and you two are wonderful together.

[@Jack-gb1rl]

Have you tried to use planers which will hold you lure at a certain depth below the surface

[@treasuretravelers5558]

I am having serious Expedition Evans withdrawal. Hope you guys are ok out there! Our prayers are with you. . . Hope to see you on Rumble maybe soon!!!

[@jorgecoulthard1760]

When I saw both of you picking up the stars of your show because they would burn their toots, I had to comment, which I hardly ever do for the same reason you gave, Jade. Please, please, please make a video of a day in the life of Penny and Dingo including how you were adopted by them 🙂 An AMAZING channel, one of the best in YT, hands down. I have completely changed my daily routine during my binge of your channel, both of you are amazing in your own ways, you complement each other. Wishing you strength, joy, showers of blessings on both!!

[@jamesknotts1546]

Please don’t

[@stevewironen8396]

I love the adventures you're sharing with us. I EE binged this past week while vacationing. I watched EE01 to EE99 and I can't wait for the next one to come out. Brett, the bluish-green stuff you see on the radio mic connector is copper oxide formed from salt air corroding the contacts. You can usually get more life out of the contacts by burnishing the inside of the them with a tiny piece of fine sandpaper, or a small file. Also, you should be able to separate the individual parts of the mic connector to reveal the manufacturer name and product code on the inner part that contains the contacts. With this information, you should be able to order new contacts and connectors. Happy New Year to both of you.

[@rodusami7526]

So glad to see your post. Very nice consolation prize. Keep posting thanks.

[@teslanikola7000]

Glad you guys are back. I wake up to the ocean with you. Thank You.

[@adrianrodriguez6278]

Thanks for the extra troubleshooting portion.

[@garrieparsons2265]

Mount a harbor freight or eBay winch to your boat for lifting heavy objects boats engines etc . Cheap . Save and injury’s accidents . Happy sailing. You two guys awesome. 👍👏

[@laprepper]

you’re a great electrician, a great mechanic and a great sailor! Well done 😊

[@brucewaterworth3873]

Hope they are not lost,especially when going west from Key West they thought they could see the lights of Miami,it’s over 100 miles away.

[@richardautry8269]

As an electrician when a circuit breaker trips you get one free close attempt. If it trips again there is a fault. breakers rarely fail. with the breaker open. check that is no voltage AC and DC on the load side. Then use the ohm meter function of your multimeter to check the line to ground. If it is less than 1 ohm you probably have a short to ground.

[@allmomomosthomebus3895]

I binged all of your videos over the last week and thoroughly enjoyed them. Excellent, entertaining and very well edited. -Larry

[@spencerharvey743]

A fishing boat helps ! It’s just not easy on the sail boat ! The cider plug is the best end of story!

[@elzamiller]

Safe travels to all yall.

[@BohemianBeatster]

A fun video again

[@richardautry8269]

when checking long pinouts you can use the boats ground as your other lead. i.e. put one pin to ground from the connection to the radio side of the cable. Then check the other end of the cable to ground with your meter at the destination. This way you will not need a long extra wire. Not sure i explained that well enough. But it was how i checked very long runs in a factory.

[@jackhardy7015]

Hey guys great vid. Ben from sailing nahoa. Has a great video on fishing from a sail boat. Best of luck

[@shreksswamp9001]

Or, you soldered all the wires together at the exact same position and length. Unless you are going to have them covered by heatshrink or some other very good insulation, then all you need is a pin hole for them to short out. It's best to stagger the length as much as possible and ensure they are individually insulated. Not sure if you did this, because you didn't show it.

[@petternss4854]

I was thinking the same. Nice solder though 👍 And top 10 on the tube to follow 😄

[@edgarmuller6652]

I learned that fishing in sailboats you kind of have to go a bit up wind to slow the boat while you real it in. Make it a lot easier.

[@flatslife8445]

Hey guy's i hope y'all are well. Haven't seen you in a while hope you haven't quit making videos, if so we'll miss y'all.
