this was perfect later in the day it was time to relax and grab a cold one we sat back and enjoyed
the moment voting can be so amazing unpredictable too for instance can you believe this turned into
yep we're about to be hit by another boat let's get started
welcome to lazy gecko sailing i'm brittany and this is jeremiah
we've been sailing the world and filming it all for you
strong like a tree now come along with us on our next adventure
make sure to click subscribe so you don't miss any of the fun
the reviews said that this anchorage has the worst mud ever i can already smell
oh really oh yeah we're pulling on it
yeah we're so happy to be cruising again the plan is to weigh anchor
and take a short hop over to a new spot along the long island sound
jeremiah and i have a pretty solid routine when it comes to anchoring
i prefer to handle the tackle and he prefers to operate the engines
hey i got a confession
just because it's easy but that don't make it better
are you uh empty are you moving out yes i'm reorganizing the head our guest head creating
space for the somebody who's moving on who's moving on i'm not gonna say yet and um so this
is where i kept all the bugs raisins you don't even know do you even know what i kept in here no
yeah i was scared to come over here and then you never know it but there's a whole bunch
of storage under here and i just put them in ziploc bags and i put it all under there
we're like good for another year on sunscreen bug spray there's like big bags like there's probably
five of them it felt so nice to be off the dock relaxing at anchor we've had some pretty bad luck
recently and we were happy to put it behind us fate however had something else in mind
we'd like to welcome our hit-and-run boater to the party well they kind of crashed ours but anyway
now they're in front of my boat again just hanging out
for no reason
the reason jeremiah doesn't like that they're in front of us is
because there are high winds currently pushing them towards our bow again
now
and then they just pulled their anchor up and started just floating she was in the water
behind the boat he was in the front screwing around the anchor they were just floating
they probably went 400 yards like that got in front of our boat that's when i went to the
front of the boat i was like what are they doing because they got pretty close and then they turned
right into our boat and that's when you then they hit the front of the boat broadsided on their port
side they hit our port side valve then they got stuck in our bridle they were just gunning it
there's not much fun about a boat slamming repeatedly into your bow
they must have been on something because they mostly just stood there looking down it took
some serious motivating on our part to get them no idea what they're doing out here um they're
screaming don't talk to me like that instead of trying to like stop the incident from happening so
um and then if they right now they're floating but if they leave that's a complete hit and run uh
we've got their name and our their their boat number so we'll see how it goes
this was all pretty maddening they seriously just floated there for about 20 minutes or so
no response to our calls nothing it was like they were in a trance
i don't think they hit that side they hit that side too um well they were right here
do you see marks right here there's definitely marks on the front here
um
i just need to check that bridle so we're probably gonna need to pull that bridle up
and then they just drug their boat all the way down the side of the boat
they just drug their boat i'll get in after the storm
still here floating crazy man um i believe huh yeah that's drunk more arms i believe we
did drag yeah so they are turning east in the long island sound what anchors is this um it's
like cobb's island they now turn east and they're leaving they're just walking they're driving away
so we will report that
jeremiah took the paddle board down to look at the damage what does it look how bad does it look um
well there's a green mark but i mean it doesn't look like structural damage
what about all the way down our halls
is it a big crime for a hit and run yeah i'm sure they're just drunk i'm gonna go look at them
they're probably drunk well they should have just stopped so we could have taken their information
they could have paid for it they're idiots they weren't the most intelligent people honey
seriously so far it just looks like some gel coat damage along with some graphics damage although
we're a little concerned about the fiberglass and the bow as they were bouncing against it
the red stripe so what do you do you report it you get your then you sue them for how
much the damage is well i imagine that we could sue and all that kind of stuff but
i don't think in this case it's just the point like what are you doing
well i think you should get in trouble for a hit and run yes that too that too and we're here and
they know we're here right we could have been taking on water in distress sinking because of
what they did and they just left yeah and they should be arrested for that for sure
the guy was just wasted i think he just slammed into the boat
they didn't know what they're doing they were caught up in the bridle they weren't even supposed
to be near us man it was crazy and um they came they hit the boat i ran out there by the time
they i saw them i went up they were under the bow already slamming into the boat gassing it hooked
on the bridle i was like stop man just stop and the guy was just falling all over the place and
she was screaming and then he stopped and checked brittany out while all this was going on just
i was in very little yeah it was still the jj with the valley yeah and then drug down
the boat and all this stuff and then this the storm right when the storm hits this happens
and then um and it wasn't because of storms just because they weren't paying attention at all
um but then they kind of waited for the storm and then they just bolted out of here
so i was like you know what if someone's gonna do a hit and run we're gonna report them so we
got it on video we got their number so you know uh kind of stuff pisses me off
i mean you know there's a hit and run and yeah it's probably minor damage it's some scrapes but
what if it was more and the boat was going down that's something that doesn't care for anybody
and their safety and they just roll out you know so that's right yeah that's the fact of
life man that's how people are some people are so norwalk police were nice though yeah they're cool
that sucked but most importantly everyone is safe and we think that calypso is good
but we'll have a pro make sure that there was some flexing at the bow while they were
bouncing against us so we just want to be sure no fiberglass is damaged it was probably their
boat flexing as ours is super thick but we'll make sure in the meantime the police report is
filed and we've been assured that there will be an arrest made fortunately we were able to get their
insurance company info from the vessel number to cover the damages so that's all in work a big
lesson learned here is if something happens to you grab a camera and record it all this footage was
the number one thing that the police wanted for proof thanks for the hit and run and for leaving
us without checking to see if everything was okay you're truly a qualified captain
coming up on the lazy geckos holding hands always smells so good there's like a hairline right here
well today's the big day i'm excited to get to the boat today and move on i'm passing
by calypso north carolina today our brand new dinghy let's go they look like they have little
penises left on your first cruising adventure thank you don't stop don't bring me in here
got an uber to get some groceries and we saw this cute little bar to stop it it must be warmer today
it's a lot warmer doing a great job there honey thank you man those are really big things you know
back door i guess they can go to the bathroom you ready for this
no vhf antenna firmly mounted it's all burned up in here i guess we won't be leaving early
i promise everything's so small you can't freaking read it right in front of us it's gone
don't take me back you can't take me back
i'm gonna turn north and probably put out the head tail it's nice and smooth
