we just finished a bunch of repairs let's talk about the repairs we got going on and
then got some awesome news the loan for the RV was approved yeah that's so awesome yeah today
we're picking up our brand new RV and going on a Shakedown trip so we moved the RVs what 100 yards
come along as we show you our newest edition we have no idea what we're doing is that it
yeah that was so much easier than unhooking power on the boat oh [ __ ] it doesn't like you honey
welcome to Lazy gecko sailing
looking for something exciting free and real if so you found the right place
meet Calypso our 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
it's right around seven o'clock here in the morning Jeremiah just left to go uh be a part
of the RV survey that's going on so he has about a two and a half to three hour drive
each way but we felt like it was important for him to go because he could really learn
a lot from the surveyor now I am going to enjoy some beautiful breakfast that I made
Poached Eggs turkey bacon and homemade ketchup
we are on the way to pick up our RV we got the truck packed full
stuff I took just like good from the boat without
the first step was a complete walkthrough this thing has some serious systems on board this
is telling you that right now we're hooked up to a power of power source Shoreline so
it's just passing through over there to charge the batteries a full washer and dryer goodness
I love it we're going on a Shakedown trip to Virginia for a friend's retirement from the
Marine Corps so it was time to move aboard first stop the parking lot of the RV store
we purchased this RV so we could have a home to return to when we aren't on Calypso like
during Hurricane Seasons when we leave her in other countries we also want to
have another baby it's all a part of the plan well here's the moment honey so we
moved the RV what 100 yards yeah about that and we're home and we're unpacking oh my goodness
it was your day how do you like it what's your favorite place to sit in the whole RV right now
you getting there yeah which one did he choose the top or bottom bunk
yeah the Top's like you know it's more lit it's where it's at
all this area is cool because it turns into uh
yeah so you can slide the bar yeah yeah you slide you can just slide it back and get it
out of the way and then um he's got like a little light it's cool did you turn on
the heat of floors no they wore them well the edge was back here oh okay
first night aboard the RV it was interesting um gotta figure out some a couple things the
mattress is super hard and uh besides that everything was great so we are
learning Jeremiah doesn't really know what he's doing but film it anyways
what's this what's the surge protector oh cool how'd that work out for you good
tracking the power cord that's pretty nice right but you have to manually pull it out yeah
is that it yeah oh my gosh that was so easy I know that was so much easier than
unhooking power on the boat yeah I don't know it's everything's much easier like
as far as rving and voting he's grabbing the key to put this away and lock it up
um we've been lucky enough to not have theft on the boat but we've always locked everything up so
we're just gonna continue down that path with always locking everything up and hopefully we
stick with never having theft nothing has a rhyme or a reason at this point we're just putting stuff
away um I think we need to stop and organize but right now we're traveling to Virginia so
um maybe next week we'll stop organize go to the dollar store find some bins
put stuff away you wanna do it yeah you need to start the engine first oh goodness
so all you do is just just push the start button until it comes on look up
and that's just low air that's the little thing increases that low error PSI yeah
we really have no idea what we're doing here can you tell
no guts no glory baby let's do it that door's I don't think closed
open yeah so the engine's back here you don't hear it at all friends feels like electric vehicle
let's try the bottom one first this time
it's so weird watching her collapse isn't it I know that's Marie said sits okay coming in all
right Chris is on the move I just like to walk around it make sure everything's good
one thing I want for is the one bra suey you get at some RV parks
no offenders lines offenders we're gonna look for a garbage on the way out it's crazy but
that's my only job I'm used to like having to do a million bangs this stink really bad
your Shades down oh thank you that was your day shade I like that I put it down this morning
all right everything looks good here um I just push this in
oh we gotta level it okay they just did it that's awesome I'll pull that up
it doesn't like you honey it's flashing we didn't know well we learned something it sea levels
itself yeah well let's say it's off you want to hop out there make sure they're all up yes
they're all up cool here goes that sprayer van this is cool yeah they are
we threw around that idea too yeah
but they're really hard to get there and such high demand it's insane it's about
a two-month waiting period and then to get it outfitted for you to be able to live in
it it's another two to four months and we couldn't even find one to even start the
process do you see a trash can over there oh it's probably behind those doors right there
get rid of the trash so it doesn't start smelling on the inside of the RV
this is all new to me but it's much like a marina it if you
can't really drive the boat to the trash can like you do on the RV so that's nice
where do I put it oh in the door
so this is our first night staying on a campsite it was right off the highway so
much so that you could hear the cars and the traffic we spent 42 dollars
for the camping site last night and that was with a military discount found it nice you wanna do is
you wouldn't take your time so put that corner away on the edge and then your ass is on the way
on this side you know what I'm saying yeah that's why you want to do that you'll find
that it's pretty easy to drive it's just you just have to think ahead we're on the road again Park
hopping and sorting out the RV along the way we are waking up from night three in the RV sleeping
much better we're starting to figure things out get it sorted get it organized right now Jeremiah
is working on figuring out the Wi-Fi we have a Wi-Fi Ranger this is pretty sweet it does like it
does Wi-Fi internet somehow it does cell service extension all that stuff so I'm just trying it's
right now it's just scanning for Wi-Fi's in the area and then um I've renamed it Calypso too for
now I don't know what else to do but I'm just trying to figure out how to you know hook it
up and then it will take the signal just like the boat has a booster it takes a Wi-Fi signal
it boosts it and it makes it your own so you can have your own network on the RV that nobody else
can grab are these some of the network names that we're looking for travel camp and get off my land
Fred and Ethel those are great yeah then we can hook up the TVs or smart TVs we can
hook them up to the Wi-Fi and then get a bunch of channels I think Jeremiah was going through
though Mike there was like we're going into the 300s so there's quite a few yeah the LG
TV's had some weird Internet TV thing so it was working where is the Wi-Fi router over there the
one on the right here's our Wi-Fi router right up here at the navigation station I don't know
what it's called in an RV the helm looks like you're holding a big soppy bun well it's a
the evening's well glamping a ridiculously comfy form of camping are pretty sweet grilling watching
some TV and getting bitten by mosquitoes are all the norm all while enjoying your favorite
Sundowner or whatever you call a stiff drink out here our satellite TV is pointing at the
wrong satellite so here's how you fix that little issue so this is the satellite dish
this basic satellite dish it all we do is turn it on and it looks for the satellite automatically
so this isn't one of those things you have to like manually come out here and do which
is really cool down here you can see these little switches right here right now it's set
for DirecTV which is the bottom switch over to go to Dish apparently it's seven eight
four
by switching it from the 1 8 to 8 to 4 7 and 8. the dish should automatically go looking
for the Dish Network satellite whatever we turn it on so what we'll do is I'll shut
this back up and we'll go downstairs we'll power everything up and see if we can't get a signal
this is the satellite receiver I'm gonna turn on the TV since that's doing that I'm gonna
go ahead and start the Satellite Dish which is right here now that's on so now the Satellite
Dish is starting to look for the satellite we're getting satellite signals which we did not get the
last time so that's a good sign um last time I just said failed I'm just grabbing the key
to get them got my magma pots and pan set I have the exact same set on the boat except for it's a
different color it came with the boat so I can't take the credit it was Captain John that turned
me on to it and I ordered the same one for the RV because it's so small and cute it can fit anywhere
I wanted to fit I'm thinking about up here and it kind of comes apart and you can see all the pieces
check it out so it wraps up in this little cute bungee cord I already took it off but I'll put it
on to show you just like that so it's not clinging all around I think off and here's your fryer
it comes with detachable handles these don't stay this nice I have them on the boat but they still
work you're supposed to walk oh they are locked in yep so all locked in and this goes on each pot
we have a lid that works with all sizes yeah I like your color cool right and then this smaller
lid works for the smaller ones kind of has like this groove in there that way it works for all
of them then there's another size up so really neat pots and pans set I guess it's kind of like
pots and 10 pieces including the lids looking forward to using them good morning just waking up
here on the RV it's my fifth morning six morning fifth night six morning somebody's still sleeping
so I'm gonna close this even though the RV is not
really soundproof like the boat is you can hear everything inside and outside
thank you
someone's still sleeping because they had a late night I heard him get up in the middle of the
night and come out here so but we are wrapping things up here on the RV we have done five
nights six days so this is the sixth morning we're just waking up I'm packing up the RV and getting
everything ready to go back to the boat there's all our stuff little guy eating some cereal
and we're packing up we've really enjoyed it we sleep really well in the RV even though it's not
as soundproof as the boat we're looking forward to go back to Calypso and uh get a little bit
of cruising going on the boat it's just part of our daily lives to keep things clean put things
away used to stowing yada yada yada so this is like so easy when we come aboard the RV to do it
um it's like second nature and it takes about half the time which is really great
what do you think you're locking it up to to store it what kind of empty this I'm trying to
see the holding tank and there's that you're able to flush it out to do that and through the gray
water now we're emptying the uh water and it's huge I don't know how much water isn't everything
forever still at 33 percent okay I'll try to get all the tanks after these the whole these
things seems really cool because you you know you empty it and then you hook a hose up to the
outside of the boat or RV and put water into the holding tank if there's something in there that
sprays it all over and the water just comes out so it like flushes it are you gonna miss the RV
well now I'm looking for the going back to the boat but I like the RV did you enjoy your five
days or six days yeah it was great I mean yeah it was great it was a great trial for the RV but we
tend to get into like go go mode and after exactly what we did I'm looking forward to
coming back and actually shopping for a couple days and enjoying an area that'd be cool yeah
I think we need a vehicle to do that yeah or bikes or something yeah golf carts golf cart
the never-ending water stream right like we hooked up this city water or something
it was time to store the RV and head back to the boat
we're a private vessel coming in so we're sailing from the United States to the
blend from what I understand you need to get the coveted test done States
yep PCR test and then we have five days from that test to get there thank you so much bye
we have to apply for an international health certificate visa on the website and then we add
wreaths on to that but he does not need a covet test we take our test here that first day is
Day Zero and then we have five days to get to the Bahamas and then once you get to the Bahamas five
days later you have to take a kova test there okay okay so you have to quarantine once you get there
for five days and then take a covet test there right
it's that you're good yeah but on there that website I was on they gave marinas where you
can go and they have testing right as you say the marina yeah they have availability coming
soon on the lazy geckos I'm gonna go for it having a CPAP on the boat
you know it's going to be rough when you put on your West Marine floaty
a little hole in the Bahamas somebody said they were going to go nap they're always giving me crap
you guys ready
well I worry about a lot of things
turns that electrical signal into a mechanical
how long are you supposed to wait I already see it oh man want more check us out at Lazy geckos.net
