Partying for the Last Time in St. Martin on our Leopard 45 Sailing Catamaran. E104

In this episode of Sailing Wind Therapy, we sent our Victron Quatro Inverter out for repairs, dined at a floating restaurant in Grand Case, had a blast attempting drunk yoga on the schooner, Spirit of St. Martin, and we bid farewell to the Caribbean as we sailed our Leopard 45 catamaran out of the Simpson Bay Lagoon for the last time.
It was a sad day, but we needed to begin our trek north for the summer. Maine lobsters were calling!

You can use music from CCR & ABBA without issues? Or does that mean no monetization?

[@SailingWindTherapy]

Yes, most of our videos we can’t monetize because of our awesome music. Whatever we do make we donate to a children’s charity.

@@SailingWindTherapy Well….God Bless you guys!!!

My inverter is in the same spot. How long did it take to get it back?

[@SailingWindTherapy]

We got really lucky and it only took them a week. Somehow Herve convinced the victron dealer to move us up in priority because he told them we had to leave Sxm shortly. I can’t believe that worked but it did. 😊

[@dahveed284]

@@SailingWindTherapy I was thinking of carrying a spare unit just in case it fails in the middle of nowhere. Pricy but they way my boat is wired, that is a very critical piece of equipment.

[@SailingWindTherapy]

They have smaller units you can use as a spare for emergency too. Doesn’t do everything but enough for important b stuff. Also we could have bypassed the inverter for the water maker for example and run it directly off the generator. If a real emergency for water we could have done that (which we now know how to do quite easily) but we didn’t want to start mucking about with the inverter and then have Victron say we caused the board failure.
