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
make sure to click subscribe so you don't miss any of the fun
we took a quick trip back to the states while waiting on a rudder
it took a bit longer than expected so we decided to visit family and friends
now it was time to head back to beautiful grenada to splash our girl and go
look it's cruise and early it is 8 18 in the morning i am going to get my hair done grenade
traffic's crazy a lot of people don't get their hair done or their nails done and all that stuff
while cruising it is tough i try to work it out so i can get my hair and my nails done if
we stop for a while the only issue i ever run into is if an island doesn't have that stuff
available you skip you wait whatever no big deal uh but in grenada i found this really really good
hairdresser and since we've rented a car to kind of knock out the last little bit of our boat work
i made an appointment to make it easy to get there although i could take a grenada bus
but i do have a driver he's right here and there's a grenada bus or taxi that i could have
taken if we didn't have the car and i found a good hairdresser i'll kind of just research on google
just like i would if i were back home and call and i'll walk in just to make sure she can work
with my type of hair cause island people tend to have different hair and confirms and then you go
you go get your hair done this will be the last time i get my hair done before leaving grenada
cruising or hurricane season is ending and who knows when i'll get it done next but as i go down
the islands a couple months from now i'll look around for hairdressers call them talk to them
and all that good stuff so you can continue getting your hair done
while cruising hey all you men out there i know you probably don't care about hair and nails
but if you want to take that hottie of yours cruising this info might help you get around board
and it's a really good way to get yourself in the community and kind of going through what all the
other girls go through on the island that live here so i get to immerse myself in the culture
talk to the island people that are doing my nails or my hair and that's also another way
that i've learned a lot about the events going on so a lot of good comes out of this a lot of good
and this guy enjoys me with blonde hair and pretty nails that's true gotta keep him attracted to me
oh i'm also picking up one of my girlfriends to go with
me so that's pretty cool i haven't done that in a long time couple years a year
at the hair salon getting her hair done you ready there she is
that's the look right there hot just got done at the hair salon successful experience nice
light and blonde this is service i'm telling you gotta get a husband when you sail it works
honey hi wanna make out what have you been doing yes i do i want to get some line you did for what
i got expensive freaking line because that's what we had to get but this is 65 feet of dyneema and
that is as well but this is for our dinghy hoist that we have to replace this is about five dollars
a foot oh my gosh u.s yeah yeah it's expensive but i mean it's the best stuff you're gonna get
it's all they had and um he gave me a 15 discount because he felt bad for me seriously
you're looking tired yeah i'm pretty worn out we haven't launched yet
i know i think it's because i i know what we have to go through and it's just wearing my mind
out that would be all right hi rhys what are you playing touch him shoot that sweet mario brother
do the transfer oh bang there he goes nice we are at the boat and we've dropped off all of our
luggage we're on the boat getting situated they're having lunch we have some papers to
fill out and then we'll launch exciting back on the water where it's a little bit cooler
this is our new runner we should really give her a name she kind of circled the
world coming from argentina before she got to us but she's here they've slapped
this beautiful paint on i can't remember the name of it it's something that starts to pee
love it and then uh we're gonna get ready to hit the water we did have a little kind of mishaps
with tuning the rudder but jeremiah and i were able to eye it out and do it which was awesome
while waiting to get splashed jeremiah noticed that the rudders weren't in alignment which is
a big deal the marks to align the rudders were simply not there for the new runner
and had worn off the starboard rudder due to how long this job took we need to get these things
aligned the new rudders are on but we noticed that they were off center so we're manually
having to adjust them jeremiah is up there working and i'm down here just kind of eyeballing it out
right there so i'm looking for it to be straight or i'll show you jeremiah's up there manually
adjusting the rudders and i'm down here eyeing it out well we got the rudders replaced and the
yard did it and uh they didn't put the acre angle on the tiller so we're trying to fix
that it's like a 3.8 degree difference so we're trying to put that in right now so i go down here
try to match up that line visually and then i get down on my knees and i look underneath
and i'm trying to match up this to be flush back here this wasn't easy we asked advice from
everyone including the antares factory who did try to help but aligning them
is a tricky job you basically have to eyeball it when it comes down to getting it just right
the cool thing is that it's easy to fine tune while in the water they're both a little bit
outboard are they i mean a little bit that way
so but i can correct that with turn the wheel so i'm gonna turn the wheel a little bit coming
over here like squatting like this well you're gonna have to do this yeah squat down like this
and i want you to just back and forth under the prop you see the the keel up there right i want
you just move your head back about with one eye open and i want to i want you to make sure that
the rod is right in the middle okay okay so that's what we did we eyed it up and got it straight
need to lock that ladder down
life on the heart is just that a little hard at times
we have a little time left so jeremiah's checking all the systems before we splash towel
it's windy last minute checks yeah i'm trying to make sure they bled this but it doesn't appear
i don't want to oh can you open up that valve
i just bled the fuel um it's pretty easy on here it's easier than
well i'll believe it when it starts okay all right you just take this little screw loosen up the bolt
loosen up this little bolt and pump it a couple times get the air out of it
pump it sounds like a dance all right so when we start these we're gonna be
looking for leaks and stuff like that you know um coming to the other side
and then this job will be done on to the next what's your job
just to look cute and play you have the best job
first time i've ever had a problem with bugs on a boat leaving it on the hard he's bleeding the port
side engine while i do this i want to open this up to see what food i have before provisioning
and there's bugs it's gross take a look they seem to like those crackers
that look black and moldy oh my gosh all the bugs are back there it's so gross
all right 30 minutes 30 minutes yeah are you just are you dying i'm baking
i have the fan on me but i think it's just pushing my sweater around at this point
i know it can be a little hot i think it's still gonna be hot out there but we'll have a breeze
yeah we're going to go to an anchorage around the corner thank goodness yeah open up all the
windows and let the cool bees flow on my skin yeah all right you ready no i want to get naked
and be hot yeah they have to put heavy-duty straps on for calypso she's kind of heavy
she's a little heavy thick around the edges she's fat but p-h-a-t fat
you guys ready
he's pumped
it's been about four months that we've been on the hard what was supposed to be
a week of minor repairs quickly turned into months of major repairs but that's boat life
so
watching your home float above the ground is a little nerve-wracking but
it's so cool to see her out of the water especially looking as sexy as she does
it's time to get wet and start moving are you ready we were until stay tuned
