Last week we spoke with the Antares factory and got some really great news! Our new port rudder was ready to ship and would soon be on it’s way to Grenada! They also gave us some ‘not so’ great news which was the total cost. The rudder would be $4100.00, not including shipping. It took a few days before we found out shi...

We recently asked you to send in any questions that you may have, we wanted to answer them on an upcoming video. We got a great response with some really good questions. It was hard to choose from so many but we ended up selecting some that talk about editing videos, boat status, John and my little toy collection!
