we've been dealing with east coast thunderstorms i think it's exciting and i have to figure out
something else for dinner because i had steaks we barely got it hooked
it just bolted like 25 knots at us yeah it's a massive uh lightning storm the skies have finally
cleared after what has been a pretty eventful trip so far we're about to continue our way north along
the icw we're going to go out into this anchorage and pull up anger and uh we're gonna do it naked
you requested naked you look beautiful thanks why are you looking around are you worried no
i was like is it is that people right now well for our sake we better hope not this naked yeah
you requested naked do you have a different outfit at your request oh you did whatever you want okay
you look good we're going naked you have to keep it going right what other
way then to surprise your husband with some naked anchoring for father's day
let's have some fun welcome to lazy gecko sailing i'm brittany and this is
we've been jeremiah 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
we're traveling towards the chesapeake along the inner coastal waterway
some of these bridges are not marked and it's a little bit towards high tide right now
so what i do is i just slow down and go as slow as i can just to feel it
out sometimes i put it in reverse this will slow down and hopefully we don't hit
then
inch it forward usually what the currents with us the current will it inch it
but it's kind of a slack tied at high tide don't worry about that right there and we're good
we didn't hit it race yay
good thing yeah it is a massive break yeah that's right our mass would break what do
you think do you think the mass will break or do you think the you think the bridge will fall
yeah you're right because the bridge is really hard
it's a cement and steel
no our mass is made of metal but not steel i don't think i don't know what it's made of
but our mask is made of metal but not like that right
all right and we'll get her back up to speed
we're on our engine at 2 800 rpm
i'd like to gradually take them up
let the boat ease into itself here
the boat rpm range is 2800 to 3200 i run them at 2800 and every once in a while i'll go up to
3 000. i know people say you're you know it's good to run them at full throttle wide open but i don't
really do that we never have um any type of build up or anything like that 2800 and then 3 000 every
once in a while people say like a two-stroke uh it can build up like carbon and the exhaust and
stuff like that and elbows and all that if you're running too low but i don't think 2800 is too low
there's a little bit wider section right here but it's been like trees like big huge stumps coming
out of the water so you try to stay right in the middle they're not really marked or anything
that's really nice real calm area the difference between this and offshore
is huge both have their pros and cons the water in the icw creates this round
mustache on the front of your boat it's nasty it doesn't wash off um we're gonna have i mean
it'll come off but it doesn't just wash off you gotta use something product or something
but we have to deal with that and it's only getting worse because this water is super brown
so
nice oh yeah
canal after canal we took in all the sights this lovely destination has to offer fantastic
stop that
stuff
interrupting pilot oh you got me
it could get a little boring at times if you let it but we try to keep it fun
how about some genoa sheet swinging
these are the times that i want to remember forever i see you've changed positions
you want to try some new positions that you said yeah well it's too hot out there man you're not at
the helm you're driving the boat from in here yeah well i got like you know i got everything here
i got the view radio chart plotter all the uh all the beeps come from the uh
engine right here so if anything you know goes out of if the perimeters get out of
whack then it's gonna show me that so and you're navigating from the helm station
you got quite set up here and there's the view you talked about yeah it's a big we're in a sound
so it's a big i mean there's no wind so it's completely calm and it's a big huge area tons
of depth like a lot of times in the icw you get like a foot on one side and a foot on the other
side it's just enough room for two boats this is not that area it's huge so no big deal come inside
i can watch where we are and we're gonna motor on up today i think we're gonna make about 54 miles
today the wife would like to leave at nine in the morning so she can have her coffee and everything
and then be an anchor by what was it five whatever it was um so we had that plan so we have anchorage
picked out we're in north carolina right now we decided hey you know let's just what the hell is
that so you look like look quick it's a stingray right there see it on the waterfall oh yeah
can i get that
darn it i don't know
that was cool it was like a stingray just flapping oh there he is look he's back there
what was i saying before the stingray coming off
oh yeah we came off uh because fuel we wanted to get fuel and uh the weather was a little
bit nasty after 15 days of being offshore all together in the last month 15 days and nights
brittney said hey i wouldn't mind it feels a little calmer so that's cool we're going
to do this we're getting it's like that's the furious is coming up oh crap oh yeah
notice when we got here you know i go down and after we run the engines and stuff we had run
them for three days three nights just a little bit off and on here there but um i always go
down and check the oil and check the belts and check the antifreeze and everything and just
get a good gauge and i found the starboard engine water pump is leaking from the seal
side the water side of the seal so i don't have the spare seal which is really stupid because
i just ordered a bunch of new parts spares but i should have boarded that i another final mistake
but um it's not leaking that bottoms monitoring it we'll overheat i'll shut it down but you
know the nice thing about a catamaran is that we have an entire spare engine
we don't need uh we don't need every single park because we have another engine
so that's cool watch out for those stingrays don't get you you look cute
i'm gonna continue my workout something else you can't do well you can do it
offshore if it's super calm but hell no not well it wasn't calm no it wasn't calm
it wasn't calm but there wasn't one to sail yeah kind of funny how that happens but i
don't mind doing the icw we've been offshore and you know when you're on like a three-hour
sleeping schedule and you're not even sleeping those full three hours it's nice to come in
and go to sleep and leave at night yeah you don't like that but it's nice for me it's all good
i see the scuba tanks have become your uh drying thing
using them in the yeah water so i gotta put them yeah screw that who knows what's under that [ __ ]
good point we aren't too keen on what's lurking behind you underwater
as for now we're going to keep pushing north towards more adventures
