today we're making big passages and jacking stuff up we'll crash our throne in the ocean we just
lost the Drone yep before sailing you across the Atlantic Gulf Stream getting power to the boat but
the boat is not taking the power just in time for the boat to break what are you thinking Jeremiah
just dove in the water to check our prop then our engine won't go in reverse and the hits keep on
coming I think we have some crop issues are you ready let's do it welcome to Lazy gecko sailing
looking for something exciting free and real if so you found the right place
[Music]
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
I hope they won't shoot me we're at 90. I'm put over 60.
50 40 30.
yeah I think I'm there we're finishing up our Bahamas trip today
sailing towards a jump off point for our Gulf Stream Crossing it looks like a lovely day
very well could be our last
trip our winds are about nine knots beam reach okay maybe we'll have a nice sale
we can lift the Drone and get some good footage I got beat up beat up the fishing pole this morning
real the ones you go down
Jeffries what was it [Music]
thank you
I'm gonna have somebody's Frozen find that thing pull it up tearing out there now feel down
there he is back here to us
he saw you oh gosh
got it
this stuff is more difficult than it looks but it's fun [Music]
that'll be a nice bruise she was feisty now we got the main up we're gonna put the head sale out
we met up with some friends at chubke right now we're buddy budding with them
over to cat key where we'll stage for a Crossing to Fort Lauderdale
it's a pretty calm day so we'll be motor sailing a bit mainly because we wanted
to get some Drone footage while under sail easy when the Windsor light right
[Music]
most of this can't be shown on YouTube due to my outfit
unfortunately but it's on our server and Vimeo
we just lost the Drone oh my gosh are you kidding me that was so ridiculous
I couldn't it was over the boat I couldn't grab it
it's gone what footage was on there just that I always emptied well that's good I'm in shock
like how did that happen that was silly
the Drone just sunk to the bottom of the ocean floor [Music]
that was our only footage of the boat sailing in the Bahamas
how much was that thing it was imperative that you grabbed it and it was dying what was happening I
could have grabbed it but if I went over the lines which I would have done but I thought
you were trying to turn it around to face it at me when we're moving forward I had to fly it forward
not to be flying forward I can't just turn around because we're moving forward
so it was you know you know that's why I need you to reach out and grab it
when it's right there that drone has many many many amazing shots that have gotten to us but
let's get a new one now I can't believe that just happened well it happens I guess [Music]
we're nearing the Anchorage so it was time to drop the sails it turned out to be a lovely sale
besides dropping an expensive drone in the ocean today's Crossing went amazing we did 12 hours out
there the Seas laid down the winds were perfect to sail um the only thing is is we lost our drone
it we got the most epic footage of calypso in the Bohemian Waters under sail and then the Drone went
off into the sea it was wonderful it was time for a new one though because we've had it for three
years so that's okay we're more upset about losing the footage than we are about losing the Drone
so got here dropped anchor we're at Cat Island and we went over to our friend's boat for Sundowner to
talk about possibly Crossing back to the States tomorrow and we get back to the boat we're like
it's sweltering as you can see I don't know if you can see I'm just like spiring everywhere I'm
very hot Troy's like I'm gonna turn on the AC I'm like perfect we get here turn it on
the generator it's giving power to the boat but the boat is not taking the power so that's great
that's something great to come home to so today we lost our radar we lost our drone and now
we've lost the ability to get the power from the generator so we've had three strikes we're out
it's time to do some boat work once again so Jeremiah is right now trying to figure out
what the heck's going on he's checking the fuses first he checked the circuit breaker
now he's checking the fuses so we'll see in the meantime I'm gonna finish my Sundowner
that I didn't finish because I was so busy talking while he tries to figure it out he
looks to me for answers but I have no answers I don't understand this stuff
what are you thinking
just gave up on us
are you reinforcing the dinghy yeah yeah I think it's gonna go offshore
and I put a couple extra lines on it
are you just doing that what you think about the generator
I gotta look into that let's get a book out and stuff read about it it doesn't
make sense like that's like our shore power a generator saying I'm producing power it's good
but the boat isn't receiving the power it must be a fuse somewhere but somehow we got popped
but we've been doing a lot of different electrical stuff like you're running the convection oven and
stuff like that you know I've always done that even on our 12-day passage from grenade I was
making pizzas and stuff was it professionally yeah I'm gonna say it's your fault I'm saying
we're just doing things to the boat like our little power like you was using a lot of power
maybe that's causing issues I don't know I'm getting tired of this
Jeremiah is going outside to start the generator manually and I am looking inside so he's gonna
start it and then he's going to reset the circuit breaker a couple times he's looking for it to turn
on for it to Blink anything to show that it's gonna give us power so for the best
so I think I hear him in there now
we should hear the generator come on and possibly see this circuit board light up
I don't hear anything though oh he's coming back to the boat so let's see what he says
something come to you oh that's a decent sugar breaker I want an AC circuit breaker so to the
manual he went okay so Jeremiah found what he was looking for um there's a difference
there is a DC circuit breaker and an AC circuit breaker so he's up there now we're looking for
the generator to turn on and then hopefully the generator light comes on and that will tell the
boat oh I hear it okay it's coming on yay yay the generator light came on cool cool so we're gonna
flip over the generator to allow it to allow power and then do the parallels yeah it's on
cool exciting [Music] your favorite hide in the AC circuit breaker on the top of the gem
set it has the circuit breaker I'm like it's freaking on and then um and then I was like
put a little tiny letter it says DC circuit breaker I'm like no I need AC the AC circuit
breaker is on the side of the generator waiting the other side nice okay let's get the AC flowing
and I was like what the crap dude you know I think oh my gosh I'm so sorry I just told we were over
at Ted's boat and uh I was like oh man I'm talking about this generators like he goes have you had
problems there's like yeah we've had problems but it's running now let's Jinx you it's you say that
you don't knock on wood I knocked on wood but I tried to I don't know what I was knocking on but
all right there you go all right close the windows yeah so now that generator's on
we'll go around and close all the hatches and portholes which is the job in itself
but it's worth it for some AC for real so Jeremiah takes one side I take the other side
and we'll work together and close Windows that one's already closed that's nice my friends to
me and then we will open all the windows back up again that's just what we do it only takes about
an hour after turning off the generator for the boat to become a sweat box again but it's oh so
worth the effort the next morning we departed for a beautiful Winfield sale across the Gulf Stream
check this out one of our patrons tracked our progress along the crossing and found
a Fort Lauderdale live cam that caught our arrival to the states pretty cool
thanks for the footage Buzz we were also greeted with a new issue the starboard
prompt doesn't seem like it's Feathering in Reverse which is now stalling the engine
we may have found the issue Jeremiah just dove in the water to check our props because he
didn't think that they were going in reverse or Feathering to go when we go in reverse
and he confirmed our props are stuck so that means we had to service our props in the water
so that's bad news but it's also good news because that could be our problem
that's it luckily the previous owner left a kit to service them even while in the water
so that's obviously one of our kits [Music]
so we made this little Satchel bag for him has some parts in
it he'll just hang it right there on the prop the little Parts on the spoon
all right and we are going to go pro this so he'll wear a head mount there you go
[Music] coming up on the lazy geckos
that props damaged yeah did each side of the hall
let's go practice a couple of these but just to see I can't explain what just happened shaking
are we all set I don't know the Annapolis boat show there we go
I can do this we got to learn a little bit about the hybrid so
the biggest change in the Antares from Calypso and uh all the older designs
all right all right
Spielberg and Cliff how'd you think that went it went great if it wasn't for John though the
vote would would have been destroyed my warranty expired about 10 years ago brand new I'm actually
trying to crush these cameras left-handed I have to swap them over to the right-handed
it was pretty heavy when I picked it up earlier did you leave it with the prop hunkered down with
the boots head on over to This Little Peanut Island
