that's the way it works laughing so naturally I did next thing that was
you holding the crowd was what was I gonna do and then myself girl now
we're flying through the stars I hope this night will last forever
we've been sailing south as we head for the Bahamas after about 12 days and nights
traveling and anchoring we decided to pull into a marina to do a few things clean the
boat do some laundry restock on some need of boat supplies and provision for our
trip across the Gulf Stream this leg of our journey was great no major issues and we've
learned a lot so why not share some of that with you so how many nights this has been now
seven night buddy I love you I don't know I feel delusional well you know what we we try to count
them up and they really do run together hopefully you're moving and then someplace you should stay
more than one night and they run together yeah you're like you can't even we're like weird we
stay last night I'm like I don't know and I had to look at my captain's blogs every night I've
been trying to write about it I'm like oh this is where we stayed it's funny though because as
you're hopping along you start like doing this with other boats so well you're going with the
same people basically yeah but you're constantly doing this thing and they're passing you and some
of them you love and some of them you know again that later let's talk about things you've learned
so far wow I have a list you'll learn along the way that Anchorage is like we stayed at
one called Mosquito Lagoon and we're like wouldn't even think twice about it but that suckers filled
with mosquitos just gonna go through my list quickly very quickly okay so today I learned
especially do not set your electronics underneath your portholes and your hatches we did that yeah
we were being did that we have a Wi-Fi booster when I say had I mean we had a Wi-Fi booster and
it was up and the beeper near a porthole and we were beating into the wind today and when
you close let me start there I had everything closing he's like open everything so anyway but
saltwater came in so when you beaten the wind water splashes over the bow and it comes into
the house another thing is close your toilet lid today I walked into the head as we were
under sail and there's toilet water splashing out oh and not only that my makeup fell into
the toilet bowl that was full of pee we happy we have us a pump-action toilet seat then you
pump it maybe we'll do all things Jesco yeah yeah you pump it but no matter what like water kind of
seeps in there and you always get like that much at the bottom and some of it comes back
in through here tubing yes it's like a little bit pee in there so you ate my meat laces got
in there close your toilet lids another thing I learned was gimble your stove we have a gimbal
I don't know I think that's an option on some boats get a gimbal definitely our stove and I'm
gonna film for you guys it was like this and I was like looking down and I'm like that's not
right it's all gonna fall gimble that sucker wear closed toed shoes when you say oh yeah we were
sailing today and we heeled over and somebody didn't push the drawer in so like the drawers
when they go in they popped down and they lock well I always complain about how this drawers
there and pushed all the way in because we have this little baby thing in there anyway it wasn't
push it in the way and it's a drawer that's like this deep and I came out and crush your towel and
carries tools and everything was like pulled [ __ ] stick my foot in the camera can you see it
I
by getting in the head hi-hi-hi
you got chocolate all over your face
howdy-hi how's your water washdown going wonderful we first got the boat in like
when we first started out anchoring I used to get buckets of water and wash down the anchor cuz when
you got to pick up your anchor to reset or you put too much chain out a lot of times when you
pull it up it's mucky stuff that comes up and it gets up here dirty and then it slowly runs
down your boat and I swear clean-freak up and I would get these buckets like tote Reese's toys
and dunk it in the water and then wash off the bone and take me like an hour and then
we finally realized we have a saltwater wash too and it's seriously the best feature that you could
have and every single boat that we own will have this feature and what we do is after we're all
set with the anchor and everything else Jeremih actually opens the through haul then he turns
on the accessory and then we grab this hose or other hose which is my much and I search as this
one with closers and I start at the very top my anchor in my rope and I kind of rinse it all down
I start up here to get under everything pick everything up we also pick up our jib sheets
and our furling and I rinse off all the dirt and then tomorrow morning when we pick our anchor
up we will I will do the same thing so as our eggs are coming in I will take this over here
and rinse off our anchor this totally looks like a man's thing what in the world is going on I'm just
labeling our rounds some of our rounds uh-huh so just put them in a plastic bag make sure we have
the right amount labeling what type the round is and the quantity obviously you got your buckshot
bird and whatever else fancy kind of rounds we might have that's it all right you guys ready to
see some pure nastiness it's so gross okay so we have had this fridge problem since we moved on the
boat I don't know why but it like water collects in the corner and it smells and it's nasty and I
can't believe I'm sharing this with the world but I am it's embarrassing because I'm a clean freak
but I'm gonna show you guys what it looks like I clean my fridge every week and no matter what I
do it's disgusting so here it is yeah it's nasty I know please don't comment and tell me how gross
it is I already feel like I'm gonna throw up okay so what we're doing is replacing all this silver
stuff and then all the tape and I'm going to stem I'm going to rip it up and I'm going to see what's
under there I am praying that it's nothing crazy and you know maybe this can help our problem a
little bit more I know it's not a solution it's more like a band-aid but I cannot handle the smell
anymore so it's not too bad at least there isn't like mold or something growing this is before
cleaned it obviously I'm going to give it a really good cleaning that's what it looks like underneath
that liner so we bought new liner I'm going to clean it and then realign it with that foamy
stuff three taping where the old owners taped like the wiring that connects to the freezer and
around the lift right here figure they taped the right spots for the reasons I'll follow their lead
hopefully this is flipped the right way
we have the fridge done and I'm ready to put all our stuff back in what we did was we ripped
out all the insulation and the gorilla tape of the old owners head back in here and got right down to
the hall area I scrubbed it real good and then we cut new insulation grille out everything that was
guerrilla taped cleaned it all out really good and then we have these dividers in here I want
to show you guys so don't look at my freezer because that's not done but the fridge area
now I'm going to work on the freezer we wanted to do this before we cruise the Bahamas one
because it's embarrassing as crap and we have people coming on board we're cleaning it and
secondly because we're going to be on the hook I haven't shower for like three days
oh my gosh I can't get in the shower hold it out here I'm showering so the solar showers
don't Solarize unless there's Sun that's Loudy ever since I shower though in the freezing cold
she does I need sits there and he makes fun of me but I'm clean I don't make fun of her
I just laugh at you I use favorite waves okay well since he wouldn't refuse the shower and
he was doing like baby weight showers I give Reese's sponge baths when it's too cold oh
you got a bath you did get a sponge bath I give myself a sponge so he is sponge bath it
doesn't work obviously because I stink I think that today we're learning our positions within
the boat he does Jenner ya know behind every good captain there's a good woman that's right
you really do have to have somebody completely focused on sailing and running the boat especially
when you have a baby on board that makes it easier for me I can really focus on Greece and I kind of
just jump back and forth really tired end of the day and I'm really annoyed by getting asked things
to do but um it works so this is Bella people have been asking about her she's back on the boat she's
been our dog for eight going on nine years she went and stayed with our friend for about two
months maybe three months because our friend had just lost their dog Bella could really mend her
heart so Billy went and stayed with her for a little bit and now Bella's back oh I've never
heard record provisioning for a trip takes careful planning you have to be sure you have everything
you need for an extended amount of time without going over your budget or exceeding the space
you have to store it all here we purchased most of the things we need so let's see how it goes
everything is now in two categories on the boat and I'll kind of just give you a little
rundown of everything so right here I have my pasta deserts Rice's all that kind of stuff I
do try to buy stuff in bags opposed to boxes the best that I can because you do have to transfer
everything out of boxes into bags anyways and that'll save me time which takes away stress
and then here's my condiments I have just drinks over here cereals these will come out of the boxes
as well all my snacks will come out and they'll get put nice and neatly into the books it can't
get smushed and then all my canned food now you do need to take the wrappers off these and write
on them exactly what they are and that kind of helps with the bug situation cockroaches
thank goodness I've never had a problem and I don't want one so another thing I wanted
to share with you guys before I forget get bay leaves take a handful of them and throw them in
a bag of in your flowers your Rice's all that type of stuff it will keep you from the weevils
yes make sure you do that we haven't had a problem I do that and hopefully it stays that way now I do
have cockroach killer as you can see just in case cuz when you are in a marina cockroaches are bad
and I think it's probably because the garbage cans and stuff around the boats and they can't
come on your boat so I do keep these on the boat just in case I'm not really happy with
this grocery shop I've done a provision before a couple months back and I got way more I did
go to base this time I had to go to Walmart we were really far from the base there's no
way I could've driven there so um I'm gonna put all this stuff away and even though we've spent
more money I'm going to go back if I have space to get more food I still need to go and get all
my fresh stuff my fruits my veggies my breads all that type of stuff but I like to do that a
day or two before we leave so as soon as we get a weather window I'll hit Publix and go get all
that stuff so I you expect to spend more and bring more on the boat but this will give you
guys a little good idea another tip I want to share with you guys keep your grocery bags if
you can I like to fold them up really nice and neat they take up less space my husband
and I have this argument all the time you like to ball them up take the 10 minutes fold them
up put them away they can act as a good garbage bag and save you money and they fit perfectly if
you have a small boat in the garbage bag but all you yachties don't even worry about it
