I’ve been spending a lot of time working on my projects. \u00a0One is to make sure Mayuki is in top shape. \u00a0I don’t have the comfort of putting it on a trailer and servicing it, so this is the only way. \u00a0I see other boaters walking by and shaking their heads. \u00a0They must think I’m crazy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But I’m not crazy. \u00a0I have no other choice. \u00a0Either spend thousands and have other people do it, or do it myself and learn in the process. \u00a0I went from zero experience in boat mechanics to a YouTube certified Yamaha mechanic. \u00a0Haha.<\/p>\n

Every 2 years I change the thermostat. \u00a0The old one is still good but I change it anyway. \u00a0Next week I’m planning to pull Mayuki out and change the timing belt, water pump, anodes, bottom paint, and everything I can possibly think of. \u00a0I’m excited!<\/p>\n

Thanks to Mayuki, I’ve had so many great memories in the sea.<\/p>\n

I kind of miss Bali already. \u00a0Surfing Keramas early in the morning was special. \u00a0It reminded me of going there with the Bali boys before Keramas was even discovered. \u00a0Now it’s very crowded with a very aggressive lineup. \u00a0My mentality was to paddle out, don’t talk to anyone, don’t make eye contact, and only catch sets.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

By the time the locals figured out I was a visitor catching too many waves, I was done and walking back to my car with a big smile. \u00a0It’s hunt or be hunted out there, and I don’t like to be hunted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
