Greatest Shade Tree Mechanic I Know Rebuilding My Diesel Engine

Hello Winded Voyagers.

I had a recent scare with my AV equipment. The HDMI port on my monitor gave out. I should have had it fixed ages ago, but I waited until it broke for good. That was 48 hours ago. I was almost done with this episode, and couldn't continue. I took the monitor apart, found the port which was loose and tried to fix it myself. All I did was burn my thumb. That was it.

I went on land and asked my local friends. One mellow guy hitting a spliff said he knew someone he could he bring it to. Which he did and came back yesterday with the thing fixed. It's working as I am writing to you looking at the screen. And the best part, it cost under twenty bucks. People still fix things here!

Now about this weeks video.

My boat Galopin and I are waiting for Simone, our Perkins diesel engine to have her full makeover by Arona, greatest shade tree mechanic I know. We’re living here during Senegal’s rain season. Which offers the most surreal views and bitch slapping storms. And through all the wet and dry weather we get a lot done on Galopin thanks to the great pro artisan who get things done. Like my engine bilge. My dinghy. My main sail traveler. Just a few of the many things I can get fixed and serviced all in one place.

Big hugs from amazing Dakar Senegal
