we just got back to florida from an epic sale throughout the northeast united states
after sailing the caribbean we figured a sail north would be fun
we were right and wrong who knew we'd find such an adventure along america's
we were immediately greeted with some big weather systems
i hope the anger holds just took off after a boom we pushed on and saw some amazing places met some
great people and more just before hitting more weather it's like it was following us
swell picked up and ended up on our beam it wasn't long before we arrived in new york city
this destination was intense and beautiful it's like a painting it's like beautiful streaks of
pink and white then it was time to head on it wasn't long before we reached the dreaded part
of the river tailgate we are coming into hell gate at one point there was a 10 knot current in
here 10 knots of current right into the largest storm we've experienced today hurricane shut up
if it lets loose it's going to probably plummet into our boat
all the way down there is completely separated but we made it just in time for a hit-and-run
we definitely had our share of bad luck then tara came aboard just in time to lift our spirits i
needed a drink this is not water ready for this no winter was coming and it was time to sail south
so we weighed anchor and off we went good i heard the bill's pump go off twice we came back here and
sure enough it was sitting there pissing you gave the whip test yeah looking for something
yeah i'm looking for the smell calypso has been pushed pretty far during this trip and
she was starting to show it she was starting to have maintenance issues throughout the boat
we even had a massive mold breakout to deal with which took a lot of work to stop
we were having issues with a lot of condensation i noticed there was some mold in there but this
was the worst area that's gross yeah can't forget the broken dough she broke her little her big toe
they don't know it's broken worried about it right here
to do's and more to do's the repair list was growing by the minute going slow and sounding
like that our radar wasn't working it's time to park calypso at a dock and give her some love
the plan is to set sail for the bahamas very soon so we needed to stop
get parts and get to work welcome to lazy gecko sailing
looking for something exciting free and real if so you found the right place
we're sailing are all over and taking you for the ride
please click on subscribe so you don't miss any of the fun
holy crap it's stuck on there
oops do you know what you're doing no well i watched youtube video oh
then you must know everything about it dang it i'm almost i'm so close
just trying to get the solder together here and try to put some on here and that does
it works so well
nice hey stuck together yeah i only got like eight more to go what are you trying to do
solder i know that but what are you trying to solder together well these are the little
connectors for the led lights i want to connect this wire to pins on each side it's not easy
but we'll see what a hell of the end result looks like nothing else is
fun little hobby is it fun sure i kind of want to try you just sort of them together
sounds easy yeah it's so simple you wanna give me a hand just like holding this up so i'm gonna do
it can you show me what you're doing well i'm just taking this panel down and these lights right here
uh are wired in so i can't bring it down unless i undo the wires up there so if i could just get
you to hold this up so it doesn't break while i'm having an arm up there and i undo the wires then i
can take it all down sure one of the first items we did was a fun led install in the staterooms
jeremiah has been wanting this upgrade for a while now sexy lighting drill a hole back here
and then do a hole through there now that one's fiberglass though i don't think this is
no this would but that's fiberglass he doesn't like messing with wires
anytime there's wires he'd rather not do it
right i don't know he's not an electrician is what he always says
i hate drilling into the boat but i've been wanting to install these led lights
in this area brittany hung these they've been here since we bought the boat but i wanted to i think
these two little spots would be sweet for some leds um going all the way down here it's like a
really big area but up here so it would like blow it'll flow down and then also here so the in the
master bedroom you'd have like lights there and then i want to put some in each room um out here
i'm not going to put it like there's a spot and i could continue it but i think it looks good
because um like this light right here like kind of comes down and and then the people in each room
would have control of like what their room is doing and it wouldn't affect what's going on in
the salon so um i'm gonna leave those like they are and what i've done is i've gotten these sweet
leds you can like cut them you can solder you can you can make them really custom all kinds
of different colors remote control um and like this i got a new soldering or a soldering kit
i don't i have no idea how to solder but i'm at the point where i'm ready to drill in the boat and
i i've been sitting here for like 20 minutes just debating um it's all hidden so this is the closet
up in here and i'd be coming through a bulkhead over here up in the top and then a block it
over here so basically i'm going to run it off these dc wires i better back in here i'm going
to come up this tube come out up here there's a little sensor up here this is all for the
leds and these led hooks on here for the wire and we'll go through that wall and that wall
and that would be there and there everything looks good i've got the bits it's a drill
but every time i go to do it i just kind of stop so i've got this 3 8 bit on here i
mean it's not a very big hole it should go through fairly easily i believe it's
wood with a little bit of fiberglass on the outside of it um it's already got
a couple screw holes in it but i'm gonna go ahead and get a mask and then drill it
okay interesting oh yeah okay cool we have a hole there's a little piece of trim that covers that
and just in case it went bad i didn't drill through i didn't want to go through
here and then have the trim jack jacked up so i'm gonna do is i'll clean this mess up
and then i'm gonna put this up and i'm gonna drill through that way and come through that way
um it kind of clears up that side of the hole and then the hole whole be in the right spot
so we got a clean little hole there it doesn't look bad at all
and it's just big enough for the wire led to come through now i'm going to the other side
all i have to do is run it hopefully today by the time brittany comes back we'll have some led
lighting in here this is my baby not hers but i think it'd be cool this is the led strip lighting
these are really cool because you can cut them custom length every what is that four inches
you can do all kind of custom stuff this hole should be just big enough for this thing sweet
all right this isn't going like all kinds of colors you know like the remote does all kinds of
[ __ ] i don't know if you probably won't work for my hair now it's going to go up in here like that
so i'm trying to figure out where i want to put them low or high and i was going to have for any
let me gauge that but what i need to do is size it so i'll do that which isn't a huge deal because i
can always adjust the other end notice i'm going to make my cut so you can see there's like a line
so you can cut this right in there apparently boom now let's see i'll turn the power back on
let's see if it uh comes back on so i can use it for the other side and then uh i can mount this
i'd rather be bluetooth that'd be sweet but whatever so please we'll just keep it right here
and then to turn the lights on and off across the board just open the door and flip it on
pretty cool these draw minimal power and make great light that can change
color and dim if we want let's see the end result let's put on the uh
no not that that's freaked out right here oh [ __ ] i'm gonna i'm gonna go into the seizure
all right there you go nice how hard was it uh it was it wasn't too hard can you show me
okay it's just unlike a setting to go out through colors right now but
it turned out good what do you think it's very nice good i'm glad you like it i like white the
best all right let me put it on white where's the remote so this is the little remote and it's by
sight it's not bluetooth i wish it was but um we just keep it up here anyway you got to put that
somewhere right there in the little and i put the little sensor back in here so if you want white
you just click white there you go it was nice i went and got lunch came back and it was done
voila it looks nice if you go on the bed and like look over
you don't like any other color i kind of like the blue it's kind of cool oh yeah that is neat
it looks purple on this on the camera though oh how about pink i think it's cool you're okay
look at me straight to me
the next item on the list was replacing all three starting batteries on calypso
these lifeline agms have become weak and it was time to toss in some new ones
this is my line voltage for dc one is my starting battery for that size so right now
i just put it in is that 12.5 looks like the other one's off that's the house bank
and that's the generator and then we'll just make sure you can start the engine
normally would be like wherever as fast was like check for water
making good water so that's good those batteries have been getting weaker and
weaker since we own the boat what i'd have to do is i'd have to jump it from the house bank
to the starting battery to start the batteries a lot of times so i'm going to go ahead and keep
replacing batteries i have the port engine to do and then i'm going to do the generator
i know the generator one's good i don't know about the other two if they can be
salvaged or whatever but i'm going to give them to another person here in the marina
they said they could use them so we're just going to give them to them hopefully they can use them
new batteries check a lot of the tasks you do are dependent on parts so you just have to do what you
can once the parts come in jeremiah is now working on the third cabin with the lighting so he's been
pretty successful when you say honey yeah and then when he took off the paneling for the third room
it was really interesting i had no idea what was behind it this is the stuff behind that paneling
quite interesting no idea what's going on behind these walls while you sleep this is our fuel inlet
to refuel going down wires for like an under cabinet light this works for a socket and this is
our vent for the fuel tank very cool yeah it's all right here while you sleep a couple feet away yeah
well i'll let you get back at it and check you out when the final product is done
all right man we are taking our settee cushions in today let's see all down here and up here and
then the spot that gets used the most is over here and it's creasing how's it going young man
good you uh in the middle of a battle here it's just a way for your video to pop up so i can do a
battle i like it we're taking these in today these cushions from our salon and we're getting them

unhooking power on the boat we are headed to the west palm beach power boat show scene take two
next to the blue hole in the bahamas
well i worry about a lot of things it turns that electrical signal into a mechanical test as
early as six days before the day of your missed period how many shows to wait i already see it
