In this episode I’ll show you how I installed a BRNKL remote monitoring system in our 1980 Pearson 365. This is some cool, fairly new tech (which is always welcome on Garuda) but I want to say right off the top that I settled on the BRNKL system because of it’s promised result: peace of mind.
If you own a boat, you know what I’m talking about (and if you don’t you might be surprised to learn this)… leaving the boat unattended is one of the biggest sources of cruiser anxiety. So much can happen! … and the worst things always happen in your imagination while you’re away. So this week we’re installing some piece of mind… er, “new tech”… and it doesn’t take long to prove it’s value.
We also go ashore for a much needed break and explore Crane Point Hammock in Marathon,, Florida – easily one of the best excursions we’ve enjoyed to date. We learn a bit about the role of Bahamians in settling the Keys as well as some of the earliest conservation efforts by a New England couple who, like so many others, decided to call the Keys home. We also get a fish pedicure… and if everything goes according to plan, we’ll monitor the important systems on Garuda while away.
Just a reminder: We upload as regularly as we can… but only if we genuinely have something to post. We know that’s not exactly “algorithm friendly” but it feels right to us. Unfortunately, this means we may not show up in your feed as often as you want us too. To make sure you don’t miss an episode, please subscribe to our channel.
