welcome to saving vessel seeker i'm doug and uh it was time to bring osprey charlie seth's
boat back from montego to the united states so i hopped on an airplane with billy and we headed
out that direction stopped in dallas for a little snack billy got to meet the captain
and we got to spend a wonderful evening in miami airport then on antigua beautiful flight out there
so if you need a little vacation think about going out to antigua charlie can take you
sailing scuba diving sloan and charlie can show you around the island it'd be a good time here's
a preview of what you can see hello mom i'm home look at this we are back in the forward end of
osprey we have made it out to antigua and we are getting ready to sail this thing back to
georgia you remember that night in another video where doug heard these noises not me the other
dog heard noises up on deck and actually got out of bed went up to look that should have been me
but he did it the anchor winch was nearly going into the drink because the wind had shifted the
waves had come up and all the weight went on to the anchor winch up there and it nearly tore it
right out of the deck so yeah we have a backing plate for it now so there is a wonderful quarter
inch thick stainless steel backing plate and lovely the nuts just fit in there so we can
still get to the bolts for the winch sometimes it just works out okay i was talking about just the
key way oh no i want the whole thing i don't want it to rust on there well yeah that poor next slot
that has to take it off right oh yeah come over here oh yeah that is always so fulfilling i'm
gonna come back and do this every year charlie all right charlie there is filling in uh what are you
doing you're filling in holes yeah re-embedding a inner force day oh because we don't want it
to leak because it is leaking yeah oh maybe i should hook the wires up first never mind stop
oh yeah there he goes you don't have it engaged so it's not moving chain but that's all right
i don't have any chain to move oh oh beautiful so it's got a clutch in here
that clutch in for the chain yep uh okay yeah we're good what's good about this is
there's no steering wheel it's over there yeah we're all good with it until we meet
a car on the road and it's like he's on the wrong side that's how am i
yeah they got some beautiful beaches here yeah there's a bar charlie
comes too so he's just stopping and saying all right
the hills look brown is it lack of grain or what yes it's coming to the ground
everything's waiting for you yeah mangoes growing aren't they

that's not a fake that's papaya banana that's banana yeah all right banana tree a fig tree
all right now what is that see that so that's the that's the breadfruit that's the breadfruit
yeah because that'll get really tall oh it's right here on the side of the road too
cool but this one here too avocado yeah yeah and their avocados down here are freaking huge yes
well we ought to get a couple this is beautiful back in here but we are one of the dryers
still not as bad as aruba almond tree is that the real almond or is that a difference
an almond or is it like really a walnut it's a type of almond so you see the yeah yeah i see them
on the end of the bread so it will turn red and you crack it open you get the almond inside of it
i do i always drink it's a volcanic rock huh yep that is beautiful angling good monrovian monrovian
man there are some big boats down there now
pine tree is your national tree you have more than one on the island right all right
good i would have gone with mango or something like that or the yucca even nelson stockyard
and he was really here oh that is cool
they certainly did
yeah some beautiful fillets all right tell me what kind of fish it is wahoo
when you get older you may move to a cat i might oh charlie creaming station there's your winches
there's your water line take everything off the boat the ballast you roll the boat over clean it
turn around do the other side takes weeks so a 12 foot ding gives you this scale to the rest of it
that's fort berkeley back at the point okay so there's the gun emplacement at the entrance of
the harbor look how tight narrow and high walled this place is i understand why they picked it
nelson may have walked right here this thing's been vandalized by people putting tags up on there
i swear i did not put that one up there okay but i think i know who did very
good company there's delos there's a ceiling ship yeah i love that charlie
you know how to make a diversion we'll put this in the back of sloan's truck
so enslaved them or killed them and then a lot of them fled the bridge
there we go there's a mask that i would put on my boat hail britannia oh my god that thing's huge
i thought they were hollow no no they're solid
that's every bit of 60. here that one has shot
shot yeah that would be like a grenade that exploding shell had shot and powder
oh it had power to break the show and then that's for reading right you know here's your chain shots
yeah yeah so it comes out of the cannon fans spinning yeah cuts all your rigging out
yeah we don't even need that we tend to tear the rigging up without it are you serious
oh my he was not that small he's a little tiny guy
nelson okay wow that thing is what five and a half inches wide not everybody has a fat head
hey that there's what i'm used to saying and that's the real man yeah trafalgar
wasn't that against the french because they were supposed to do this really you know things yeah
like you know saddle up like you're in trenches yeah and his idea was [ __ ] no it takes a little
clearer thinking that went in battle so he was he died from a sniper i thought okay nelson
about one vm else was shot by a sharpshooter stationed in the rigging of the friendship
yeah they kept always saying they sanded the decks yes so they didn't slip in the gore
bro
old sugar mill processing plants you can actually see the pineapples on them yes
the long stuff you see on the street here what do you call it shock shock shark shot yeah it shakes
people actually make music from them and you shake them according to a certain beat and a
certain rhythm like a tambourine that's correct that's the only instrument i'm qualified in
yes it's like you know what this one is stop calling them fake that's a papaya all right
a what does it have a fruit on it yes it has a little food on it yeah you got hibiscus up here
yeah hibiscus that one inhale deeply you can smell it okay yeah yeah i see him what is this
tree that's so naughty is that a that's also a mango there's a mango tree that does that
beautiful yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah but they have like a papaya thing on them when they're ripe
there there they are they're back down in there cocoa the fruit rots and the seeds inside they dry
them out then you get your coconut powder out of the seed it's a guava guava guava tree yes
that's the zip line part goes on these trees oh okay and there's the antioxidant anti-cancer
properties of it [ __ ] amazing really yes do you think pharmaceuticals
jeez oh that is gorgeous
isn't that what that is yes so remember i was telling you about the four shots
yeah it's just on the back of that it's on your side it was on the other side of that
there's a oh yeah yeah sure enough i see it yeah excellent
and while we were underwater the unt cell race came to pass
it did a little round about the buoy there
30 just 39. okay yeah let's see if we get that flat
so this gizmo here is called a loose gauge you see the cable passes through on two rollers there it
has a spring with a scale on it up there you can read how many pounds of tension it has
usually the number up there and then one you come down here and go across to the size of your
cable here at the top right and it gives you the percentage of stretch and line voltage seven and
a half all right so we added a little bit onto it so they're tighter than what you expected
yeah yeah i'm all right well that explains something so this is the chain plate that
tore out us on the tripped out here and so it's been all replaced let me show you that it's a
brand new piece of stainless steel so the cabinets are all gone now and that is a brand new piece of
stainless instead of rebuilding it it's brand new because it actually had a crack down behind this
piece of flat bar here through the stainless so the thought was it may be a not so good piece of
stainless they do make them better once well and then it's got uh tabs or their flat bars really
welded onto the back and then that's mushed into epoxy and then there's 15 layers of fiberglass
but over the top of that and the last few layers make this radius and come out over the top of it
and the other side of the boat we're thinking that's already been done that way too so it
didn't get touched but that looks like it was repaired already he's going all the way down
well we're on our way out of jolly harbor past those lovely sailboats on the horizon
where you probably can't see it as montserrat
volcano an active volcano and that video is up next because we are sitting now in
nassau bahamas so join us on that trip too y'all take care of hey don't forget if you
build something send us a picture we want to see what you've been doing what'd you make today
you
