last time on the lazy geckos
rough night yeah yeah Reese was like oh my god beautiful morning though
on the boat alone for a couple days we're learning
how to operate a catamaran Jeremih and I and on offense
that is better for him be mastered
probably in those seeds in that wind of we were tolerating a name for its last night
they were trying to say now they're dragging it through the salt water anytime you lose
your rigging and on your boat thank you so it goes from disaster to life birthing disaster real quick
let's do this until the Sun comes up enough to be able to see
we have radar over here there's the shoreline of Florida somewhere up there is Key West
somewhere up there they promise it's out there see the horizon
one of the joys of living aboard laundry mats we do have a washer on board but for
the big jobs we hit beat Boca Chica is a small air base near Key West Jeremiah used
to deploy here at times when he was in the Marines this little military
restaurant slash bar is great local friendly and relaxing just what we needed for the night
so nice of John to trust us with his boat while he's away we're currently
considering a deal for us to take Calypso off his hands this was a perfect time to try out
but sunrise in my eyes
just like new day a breath of fresh air and now we are operating the boat
alone yeah man it's the duo once again actually I should say trio
what do you think thought what undocking of sweetie bow thrusters the bomb right that
went more smoothly forever you say that then it's ever gone two years on the Gekko that's for sure
you just hit you know with the stern thruster and bow thruster you just push yourself away from the
dock and then you can do opposite and spin the boat right there in spot that's amazing it was
insane and I think this flip line yeah yeah I can hold it there and against the Don Cossack amazing
totally different that's sure you got a son track where we head it really go down
this uh off the book that she could Inlet and then go right back into stock dial in
Marina we're gonna pick up some fuel tried to to his baby through the some of the Marquesas
Marquis ease or whatever Marquesas Marquesas and to that salmon is a freaking pirate ship
so tomorrow the president comes here and they're going to close this channel down so it's good if
we're leaving today you know we don't have to deal with being stuck pretty cool though we
had to see Air Force One fly over the other day oh those marine one Oh marine one my bad my bad
ever work slower filling the president comes yeah we are
44 foot catamaran we like to blow up your field ah
absolutely not a problem are you in the channel now
that we are came out on the fuel dock that will be ready to assist with nice me
lookit breathe - aye captain
you're the captain swab
who's the swab mom
swap like me where we go in categories
you don't know I think it's captain daddy
it's rare that we have great conditions today is
amazing following winds and seas it was time to set sail
still got service I do I have like one out of four bars that'll be gone soon I know I like to
like when I see see things out here like so I like to look what they're about and try to find things
out the service didn't last long though soon we were on our own headed for some beautiful island
what you think about it this morning sale oh it's great it's so funny cuz you know usually when we
take off on our boat I guess cuz it was smaller it felt like a lot of work so this morning I was
kind of like I don't feel like I'm doing that but there's stuff that we're missing but no pull
off the dog it was great nice and calm you did a great job hold him for fuel that went beautifully
I don't it was amazing and then we took off and it's been calm waters no more than ones I haven't
seen any twos out here have you that's a great public sea turtle swirl right it just went down
no yeah it went down gosh darn it but anyway it's a little windy than what we thought well I guess
we knew it was gonna pick up to 15 it has been 10 but you know it's great because it's giving us a
breeze we chose this sweet secluded anchorage just west of the Marquesas tomorrow we'll hop the forty
miles or so to the dry tortugas but tonight we decided to launch the esta to take in the beauty
that was all around us okay just woke up the first thing I do is search for dolphins every morning
they're at the Marquesas about to leave for the dry tortugas
and I seen no dolphins at all oh that was something not often
okay time to go wake the husband up this should be fun people have been
asking for our morning routine so this is Internet's finest and yep you pick
up your phone but guess what we have no service this button start hold the button
oh it's a lot different than our last generators I could've totally done that
we're gonna charge the battery what start starting about ERISA's just get everything
going good and I stretched up and then it's easy on the wall centers and those generator on
then diesel generator you won't put them in real loads so it's up to things on
air-conditioned new salon an issue for the DC water maker you don't have to run
a generator but since we're sitting here for an hour I'm gonna go ahead
and do it just make sure your fresh water pumps on and you just hit the button once
and now to make water for an hour
you want two hours you hit it twice
Mayra morning routine is a little different it consists of moisturizer for my face and coffee
so the press actually this press patron gave to us along the way as we are cruising in marathon my
broke as it fell out of the galley and I knew they were there I asked them if they had the press that
I had sent them for being a patron and he and they said yes and it was this big so I'm really really
oh them I messed up that one and I'm still using it I'm the only illiterate his coffee on board
first morning I haven't seen any it's a great way to enjoy your
coffee especially when it's not cold or hot it's none of those over there
nobody got a early start today started yet reading on the generator yeah that means I'm starting sure
I mean like going how far is our trip today 40 miles 40 miles averaging six and a half seven
yeah all right so we'll get there before sunset that's all really right I'm excited I know a lot
of people that have gone they talk about it the Saints great we have perfect weather we couldn't
have asked for a better yeah should be good finish my coffee and we got mmm-hmm all right so this is
turn on the yacht controller down here which these growls I live on autopilot instruments radios this
everything kind of power up and then for the auto throttles this is like a fly-by-wire type system
he installed this you hit hook command down this is basically puts it in a mode that you can Rev
the engines without it going in gear tell by the video go there little yellow flashing light we're
gonna turn on the port engine instruments coming on there we go and they'll go to starboard see
it's come on then we're in neutral and we're going to struck the start record engine it's
a beautiful sound right there take it mm just get it out a little dip right there
then we'll start the starboard
without
then I just let them warm up and then I'll switch everything else on
to anchor light off
I'll let them warm up and then I bring the throttles back to neutral then I'll
just hit this little warm suit button and then now we can know we can engage
the transmission so that's pretty much it good job next time on the lazy geckos
I think it's freaking hot in there I'll be there like 10 hours
to the driver to gate
like this
coming right for they drop the anchor and then they're like I couldn't be more proud you have
