    Great job! Love the sped up footage at the end trying to dock against the current! Looked so funny! Sure, sure the battery died. That's what they all say! Ha ha! Do you ever just go out for a joy ride?

    OMG! I laughed and laughed and laughed at the docking! We just got this stupid big truck and it reminded me of ME trying to park it! I just found you about 5 days ago and am I having a blast watching all your video's. The music choices are fantastic , your drone and camera work is amazing. I am just having so much fun with your installments. Peaceful and fun and joyful. I know you end up with Peaches but I am so glad I get to meet Buttercup. Adorable. Thank you! Colorado Girl

      Thanks so much! I am glad you are enjoying the videos. That docking was a fiasco. I totally underestimated the current. I almost lost the boat at one point. My heart was racing!!!

    I always chuckle when I make a great docking maneuver in front of others who congratulate me, knowing that it was calm and there wasn't any current. I've gotten to the point in off-dock conditions where I just go with the flow and make as many attempts as it takes to get it done and feel rather proud when it does. You were brave to do it solo!

    • @AmandaOffGrid

    Another great video Amanda. Never a dull moment . Liked hearing the birds in the background, seeing the forest, and of course never get tired of the west coast ocean and bay scenes. Such a serene place. I can relate to docking against tides. Tricky business. Especially on your own. Well done. Nice to have the boat moved to a safer position on the dock. I am sure it Reduces the anxiety.

    Hi Amanda, thanks for posting another video. Did you make a grocery run yet in the power boat? Do you have a shower in your cabin. Some of those tree's are huge, looks like old growth. I think you have hit the boaters lotto jackpot! You are quite adorable!

    Hi Amanda, another awesome video, thankyou. It was funny watching you trying to move your boat. (If it was me it would be carnage however) I have a couple of questions. Bearing in mind you're alone, do you have a plan if you have an accident? (God forbid) Do you have cell phone coverage on the island if you need help? Eddie

      yah... my batteries are new and full... but i agree with you. it’s an electrical issue for sure! i think the connection from the engine to the pedestal needs a look at... my auto pilot has been having some weird electrical issues as well.
