what's a day like in the life of a sailor
Something really bad just happened
We just lost our dinghy
basically bad things happen and you need to figure things out
Things break and you need to fix them
but you get to kiteboarding paradise
I'm Andrea thats Alejo and those are our bears Ozzy and Echo
we left the corporate world in Miami to become
digital nomads and chase the wind kiteboarding join us as we sail and
adventure in our dream home, HAKUNA
Baby should we turn off the engines
Yes love
no, we have to jump in
so you are going to go?
Well I have to
Either way, I don't know how to fix it
No, we have to cut the rope with a knife
You have to cut the line
And I might need your help, so you cand hold the thing
What thing?
The rope
So you can pull it while I cut it
OK
I don't want to go in, its too cold
so you are going to go in first, and then if you need me to go in i'll go in?
Or do you want me to go in with you?
If you don't want to go in, I'll go in by my self
If you don't need me I don't want to go in
I don't know if I need you
Hopefully, nothing is damaged
I'm not worried that is tangled because it can be untangled
I'm worried that it's damaged because it sounded pretty bad
That there is no damage to what ?
the propeller?
yes, to the propeller, the engine
I'm going to cut it here, then I'll jump in and untangle it underneath
The water is freezing
Can you pass me the knife
I think you have to turn on the engine and put it in gear
Are you sure?
With you inside the water?
I dont think that is a good idea baby
What if it gets you?
there is a little hole between the sail drive and the propeller
and the line got cut like right in between so it's almost out so it's just
like half stuck between the thing so it's just make this thing start but the Rope
it's already out so I don't know how to get it out
I have been trying really hard by pulling it, It doesn't come out
So I don't know
But you think is a good idea to turn on the engine?
Not really
You need me to turn it on?
Yes
We are going to turn on the engine
give it a small tap forward
ok it's on
Go forward
Neutral
I have to take off the propeller
Can you do it underwater?
yes, but not today the current is really strong
Alejo is going to have to go in and take off the propeller
But I don't know if you guys can tell but we have like 20 knot winds
the current is super strong
we took off the rope there was a little piece to stuck in there
couldn't get now but I I got the knife cut into little pieces
Now everything works
but you still need to open the propeller to take it out I think I have to remove
the propeller just to check that there's nothing in there and so what are we
going to do right now we're gonna go Kitting and we're just gonna go to a
little island that's in front of here and it seems like it's really nice but
as we were looking at the anchorage and how we are planning to stay
protected tonight Alejo found the craziest thing what did you find so
this is the place where three sharks attack a 21 year old girl yes like we
had no idea it was here in this spot where he's just went in the water like
three hours ago two fix and remove the line this is the exact same spot
where the attack happened so not cool people yeah far from cool over there that's a
restaurant the phone was supposedly right they are
Sandy toes they were snorkeling there that's where
the attack happened and it's just not recommended to go into water here
because she was attacked by three tiger sharks and apparently it was not the
first attack it there's been at least three attacks here apparently to what we
were able to find out online so yeah we're not gonna need the water here
we're kitting wich is over the water not in the water we are actually going
to Kite they're like near the island because the island is super shallow so
there's no way tiger sharks can be there well there is a way but we're gonna see
them we're gonna run to land and be like apparently that restaurant over there
they throw it like the leftovers of the food right in that little area there so
that's why so many sharks come here and you know if multiple attacks have
happened here it's not a nice place to be swimming so yeah we're just gonna go
kiteboard for it a little bit it's a perfect day for kiting the water is just beyond
amazing over there the wind is blowing like we got like 20 knots here so gonna
be a nice session guys it is going to be an early session what are you what do
you need to say I'm ready you ready ok lets go
Alright people we are going
well we have a dinky situation here
but it seems he might have fix it already
we are going to launch from the little island and yeahh
we almost lost her didi oh crap baby how did you lose your dinky
Oh ran all the way from there here
we just made it back on the boat from our kite session and now we have a
problem we're just about to shower to wash all this stuff and water is not
working I don't know what happened it was working this morning and I don't
know what happened to the pump it's not turning on we turn this thing on no
water comes out and
Baby what are you going to do?
I don't know baby to tell you the truth i don't really know
OK so the pump is getting
voltage so it might just mean that the pump stopped working that sucks how
weird something else breaking on a boat how weird
Should I turn off the
the pump
but the breaker or just the thing
yes the pump
This thing, Why can we have just one regular day ?
NO?
ok
to tell you the truth I don't know what to tell you
I'm surprised how it worked this morning and now its not working
luckily Alf, the previous owner he had a spare pump so Alejo is just going to
test the spare pump see if that's the problem before actually removing the
pump and putting the other one this should turn on so what are you try right
now you're trying to replace the pump with a new pump right to see if it's the
pump that's not working or if it's something else
we're turning on the pump here
one, two , Stop, Stop
that was it?
Yes it worked
good well not good because the pump is messed up with whatever at least we have a pump
Thank You Alf for having a replacement pump thank you so much because If not
we would be stuck in the Bahamas with no water with no pump and trying to find a
pump so thank God for all and having a pump
anything that you have to say to the camera mr. mechanical engineer
technician yes these are not the moments for the camera
these are what?
not the moments for the camera
he doesn't want me to record him right now but we're doing it just for you please look at his
face of frustration and anger
leave it on
Should i open the water
yes do it
its working
my husband is wonderful baby how do you feel about just fixing our pump we had a
bad waterpump now we can add a pump to a list of things that have broken in our
boat and that my awesome husband was able to fix it see that's why I married
him that's exactly the reason why I married
him right baby? now I know all right guys so it's been a really really really long
day we're just gonna take a shower get something to eat do a little bit of work
