last time on the lacy geckos but soon as him I'm gonna go down the sawed off the book
that she could inlet we're gonna pick up some fuel just like new day a breath of fresh air
you're the captain swap
collects eternal squirrel hid its went down just woke up the first thing I do is search
for dolphins every morning it time to go wake the husband up at our last generator
Maira morning routine is a little different beautiful sound right here mm and now I'm
gonna throttles back to neutral and I'll just hit this little warm seat button
well that scared me to scare you man that happens as that before
it has never happened to us well you gotta go
sometimes you wrap around things like that the anchor chain you swayed through the night
something was under there which tanked it that wasn't that bad we just had to configure the
boat around it a little bit otherwise I would have you know feel better one who's just got now
gotten in the water and look down there and see what's up and try to do like what happens in the
case that you can't get it I'm done if it's like if you have any I mean this had like dive tanks to
go down and you can do stuff but anyway if it was like some angles so bad you can never ever get it
out you can always just drop your anchor and head towards the dock or you have a secondary anchor
yeah unhook your anchorman believe it but that's the last resort dude we weren't even knew that
so do you think the anchor was stuff where the ink retreat I think of chain-link I've
wrapped around something so last night we only swung now what isn't swinging like in a circle
so he's pulling out a couple of times so what I did was we were facing one way we
were pulling our anchor up so I just used the thrusters to kind of bring us around it you know
once we got it we did it a couple of times and once we got a little bit further around it we were
able to go out we use our Bridal as well yeah well you don't want it pulling but it's just something
that you don't want to pull on the Lynette so break your windlass so so when it was getting
tight and stuff we went ahead and put the bridle up and that way when we're doing on this like
pulling on it around a circle stuff those older bridle and then eventually it just came right up
that was crazy scared me no need to be scared we're not going to be stuck there forever I
know that but I didn't want you to have to dive down I don't want damn Canaries in a dark water
this satellite function pretty cool it's iridium it's worked really well can you yeah let me and
I've been using it the whole trip but yeah this trip but up you can make phone calls you can
text your seed text I can also hit a button like reports your position GPS coordinates
and then you can just hit Send and it will send it to you know whoever you want text
it to and then they can see where you are in a map that's pretty cool makes me feel a lot
better we definitely have letters on our belt well we have the in reach it's just not a phone
but the end of a chicken life through Facebook updates a crab but you gotta trust everybody
in vertice yeah no kidding because they're coming in to the dry tortugas you can see
the fort out there and then our anchorage we've got to kind of go up and around but let's plan
with the hey is pretty close it's a like a tourist ship called Yankee freedom 3 I'm here
twenty four point eight knots how far away is those ranges you know everything bearing ten
degrees and it also shows you like a line what would have to happen for you guys to have you
know to hit each other so he'd have to come over and then we doesn't go like that and we did right
there that's a you know at that time so you can see it over there a lot of this I didn't expect it
to be so underwater but you can see some beaches off the distance I'm gonna be you've seen or not
you see that your white sand beach and then the Fords over there
the winds and seas were calm so we had to motor to the dry tortugas it took us about seven hours
and all the view of Fort Jefferson was amazing we've heard it's beautiful here we're so excited
to check it out for ourselves there's a few spots to anchor here most are protected by
reefs but because they're underwater it feels like you're completely out in the open we set
anchor in about 30 feet of water just outside of the fort it was time for a cold one what are you
done are you hanging out you helped me grill you are you're helping me grill your good grillers
Hill just in time for the beautiful sunset it was gorgeous when it was like peeking through oh man
it's been it's gorgeous oh it's been gorgeous look at the clouds you believe we're anchored inside of
a fort it's beautiful right the last time we saw a fort by boat we think our dinghy up there and
like ticket or something yeah like there's yours was are looking for like like seven months old and
that was like running with wreaths no no this big now that big now he could run along with he could
probably run faster than me this is gorgeous it is look at this with the lighthouse right
beautiful simply amazing yeah that's pretty close to how it looks in real
life yeah especially with the 4k action well this is a good moment like setting set aside
from me almost getting my life taken by well that was impressive honey you're in there for
like at least one second I couldn't be more proud where oh no it is it's moving hey get
the GoPro quick all right see it it's way over there whatever you find absolutely good moment
you know why so those are cooking boom good I got one side going I'm about to flip it very
cooking good looking we tried to make water last night and the water maker told us that
the pre-filters need to be changed pretty amazing it tells you so you gonna film
climb into your hole it's pretty amazing that
you can go in there I feel like living there here's the filters
was dirty yeah oh yeah who's been taking her to those dirty waters John
jeez oh my she's dirty mm-hmm v goes downstream this is Alice this is downstream and it does say
leave it dry someone leave it dry those are the five give me a favor and go down there if there's
anything going on flashing and hit stop okay and then if it's good it is not you know the goal hit
the top left button one time okay so I'm going to hit the top left button one time run auto mode for
one hour so working yeah it was filling up so see it's automatically tuned the air out of the system
we replace the water filters the water filters the five and twenty microns it's pretty cool a
little nerve-wracking for me to leave water air in the system but let's take it all out
so far so then you just run it so far run five minutes everything looks pretty good
see it's making fifteen point three gallons per hour right now that changes with it when
it comes to the water you're in Zulueta is 208 parts per million feed water is 88 psi
filters good and that's it so it's got 55 more minutes to run on this one I'm
monitoring the water tank see it's rising which should be good good job honey it will
you're the best maintenance guy I know
next time on the lazy geckos if they drop the anchor then they're like
like from an outside of heaven start going
