you got it I got it she's ready very pretty is it a she or he it's a she EP Calypso yeah so I
know it's all pretty and beautiful I know it's gonna wash away it's very sad but we did do it
with permanent underneath and then we put lazy geckos on the back and we are gonna go hike to
Booboo Hill right Boo Boo Bobo we're gonna go hike up there drop this bad boy off today we're smack
dab in the middle of the Exuma islands in the Bahamas where we're hiking up BooBoo Hill then
we're off to a famous pirate hangout got treasure and then x marks the spot we'll fight currents
and more that was a strong find a bottle of rum oh my gosh let's do it welcome to Lazy gecko sailing
looking for something exciting free and real if so you found the right place
[Music]
Calypso are floating home it's not working we're sailing her all over
and taking you for the ride please click on subscribe so you don't miss any of the fun
I hope they won't shoot me I'm curious to see like other boat names if we know any we're
gonna go have fun do some land walking and enjoy it you ready Reese yep yep let's do it it looks
like it's gonna be a long hike you got some energy for me I'm worn out by you guys no you
did we wear you out yeah oh man that's awesome yeah he's sleeping good he's leaving like 10 12
hours yeah every night yeah you know when it's on screen on sunglasses I didn't get sunscreen
did uh do you bring it all right I'll just spray it on how's the depth look mama
just a short dingy ride to a dock where we plan to leave Taco our dinghy she'll rest
here for our hike you maybe walk us up a little bit so like right
here probably good yeah easy enough now we'll tire off Mama's tying that snubber
yes I am we usually tie the bowel line and then we also put a a lock on the box you know you never
know now if it's gonna be crowded or something like that we don't put it because it holds your
dingy like parallel to the dock you don't want to do that if it's going to be crowded but uh we'll
just hook this chain around one of these right here this is a good spot right here because it
won't get in the water and that way we'll have like a secure Point too good knot I think so you
can double check so I tie off first because I'm usually the Lander got a nice little snubber in
there and then Jeremiah will do the lock back here it's a Kryptonite Lock I just got it off Walmart
I mean off Amazon or somewhere like that boom but it's great we did replace it one time because it
got all corroded but you know that that's gonna happen do you want to lock his life jacket up
we'll put this on here too we usually guide the cable through Reese's life
jacket just so it doesn't walk off oh yeah okay
oh my God
watch that little Pokey thing go ahead
park in the world and is one of the most successful Marine Parks this stretch of
pristine water land and beaches is famous for its breathtaking marine environment
the first thing you see here is a massive sperm whale skeleton
pretty cool
yeah they're pretty big man a huge
looks like we see a path entrance at the very end corner Cafe the Booboo Hill Trail
apparently a cruiser on the 17th of this month left some Clues there no it wasn't there it was
at the Pirates oh at the Pirates Cove okay so where we're going tomorrow hopefully left
some Clues to find a bottle of rum and bottle of vodka oh man score she's gonna
get into the worth it category a quick walk down a beach and we found the trail [Music]
no pets
okay [Music]
take a break in this shaded area for a little bit of water
a little bit of hydration yeah how's that water made of that for you
good are you ready I think we can make it we've gone like at least a tenth of a mile
now we're starting to go uphill it's a pretty uh easy hike I'd say the rocks in the beginning would
be difficult if you know if there's any difficulty with walking and stuff like that so that way
there's the blow holes and this way goes to bubu Hill cool blow holes that's worth a little detour
yeah it's low tide right now we can still go over there balance it right
nice good job look at that you have added to that everywhere you go there are those little
piles of rock to add to Reese loves them it wasn't long before we saw the blowhole here
here is the lovely blowhole
it doesn't look like it's blowing today it's not blowing darn it it doesn't look like it's blown
for a while actually because it's pretty dry up here so it probably only happens on rough weather
yeah it probably needs to be a high tide
uh higher than normal windy yeah definitely windy yeah a type of wind blowing it up yeah so
that's okay because we didn't come for that did we we came for the side
oh boo-boo Hill we've been excited about this stuff can you tell
here's the hill just off a sweet Anchorage a pretty simple hike gets you to the top [Music]
look at all the things people put up here tradition has it that Cruisers leaving
an offering usually in the form of a sign to King Neptune at the top of Booboo Hill
will incur good sailing in safe passage this has been happening for years [Music]
careful mom
here you go
nice
um
this is completely sturdy what the heck you know yeah right we've made our Mark
even if it's going to disappear in the mix of thousands of boards
Dad wasn't completely happy with my sign placement it has now moved to a new destination
on the opposite side it looks pretty though sorry you didn't like it huh [Music] well I want to put
somewhere where it wasn't just going to blow away and like fall perfect brand of Martini too
oh yeah taking a little break over here on this sweet little bench that somebody brought up
after a while we made our way back down the hill and back to Calypso waiting patiently for
us on our Mooring ball the sunset and we relaxed in the calm evening Grease
[Music]
we landed our dinghy at Pirate's lair
this is apparently where all the Pirates would hang out the sand here is crazy soft huh
every time I walk I sink about six inches the park guide when you check in he had told us
that this is a great spot for snorkeling too so we're also gonna do a little bit of snorkeling
after we have our picnic lunch six foot long barracuda's been following Jeremiah around
wow what'd you think of that was following you you turn around is like I know we had to wait until
slack tied to come over here but it was still a little bit rough to get over here in the dinghy
the staying powerboat was heading right for us coming around the corner it's a
little scary but we made it very happy yeah he's
coming closer to you oh the very cute is real curious about Reese he's so curious
even though these barracudas are usually just curious and friendly it still freaks
us out when they're there have you seen the teeth on these guys
we decided to move down the beach a bit for a picnic and the fish came too if you
come over here in your boat and you're far away it's kind of big if you're far
away from the front office they have these little drop boxes you grab yourself a slip
fill it out they even leave you a marker right there and then you place your payments here right
there where the Bahamas is doing a great job at preserving it keeping its beauty this cooler bag
has been absolutely amazing one of our patrons got that bag for us a couple years ago maybe two
years ago now he's still a patron um he actually sent us a bunch of Yingling stuff so cool we love
the bag it collapses a lot of people use the hard ones which are great too because you don't
have to worry about your food getting crushed it's really lasted and it's really great race
she's like getting up close and personal I know how you doing he really got screwed over he's
getting uncrustable and oh you got a little yogurt yeah I get Uncrustables for days like
days like these are amazing Reese is completely at home he's over here looking
for barracudas he likes the barracudas how is the water are you seeing anything
over there
yeah very cool
awesome this kid lives in the water when he can it's cool
hello little guy
hi Drake my baby all right you're good have fun don't go too deep
we used to be one into a treasure hunt the only thing we have that could remotely look
like treasure is a silver spoon we're gonna call this the pieces of spoon
I'm gonna go bury this I'm gonna draw a pirate treasure map in the sand see if we can find it
x marks the spot all right let's see here draw the beach keeping a kid entertained
out here isn't too difficult between the sea life lizards on the beach and
the dad made treasure hunts we think we do a pretty good job at keeping them off the iPad
come here there's a pirate treasure map for you to find some treasure here's what we're
looking at this is a boat this is ours okay this is the beach right this is the picnic table okay
and this is all Bush and this is all Bush right and it looks like if you get off the boat and go
to the picnic table and then look for two palm trees find the two palm trees and then come back
all right so we found the two palm trees yeah all right now you have to walk past the two palm trees
past the the Mast post that's sticking out and then come to the Labyrinth area and then once
you get to the circle Labyrinth area come back and tell me you found it where's the palm trees okay
all right I think that is the mass post
and then look is that the area is that a circle all right and then if you turn right you're gonna
find a reef and then x marks the spot and that's where you'll have to dig uh-oh you gotta dig
[Music]
dude Reese look it's shiny
from the boat of calypso nice job you found it high five no I want a high five for your hand
next time we need to bring some real treasure after a lovely afternoon we've
decided to move to another Beach Jeremiah made the call to navigate through a Channel
with a pretty strong current along the way I didn't know about that [Music]
I was a strong current dude I can feel that wow you definitely need like a 20 horsepower engine
you couldn't get through that with a six horsepower I'm thinking good
the trip around the island can be a little rough
at times especially in a dinghy but we just pushed through it
[Music]
it was about 15 minutes before we found ourselves in another paradise [Music] this has really been
something coming over to the Bahamas we've been over here for I don't know a couple weeks now
and time's just flying by I know we had to spend like a week on the docks of winds but now that
we're out here it's like flying and we're trying to jump through I'm so happy we decided to come
to the Exumas though it's incredible here all the beaches are mostly private when you come to like
the touristy spots it's a little congested but that's fine I wish the time would just slow down
a little bit but just trying to enjoy every single moment that we have but for now I'm gonna enjoy
we paid for two nights and we're cutting our time short we check the weather real
quick with the iridium we were able to get it in on our phone and there's some
bad weather rolling in tomorrow squalls with winds up to 30 knots so rather than
traveling that tomorrow we decided to not relax chill enjoy and drink and motor two
and a half hours south to Stanley but we'll have phone service it'll be a blend [Music]
coming up on the lazy geckos I love these beautiful calm days
dinner is served over I feel like it's worse at The Grotto foreign [Applause]
