it's like christmas before christmas yes
so we're provisioning for three months because that's the time that we expect to be in the Bahamas
right now we have like 30 35 knots and it's gusting like 40
guys so we just got our covid tests done but
i'm andrea that's alejo and those are bears ozzy and Echo
we left the corporate world in miami to become digital nomads and chase the wind kiteboarding
join us as we sail and adventure in our dream home hakuna
what's up guys yesterday we made it to miami and we are anchored in the miami bay and so
let me show you look
so today we've been preparing because we will be going to my parent's house
we're going to stay there for a week so we can prepare for Bahamas
we have to take the dogs to the vet, provision take our covid test
we need to take three covid tests in order to enter the Bahamas
and that's what we're going to be doing so
yesterday when we got here I got bitten by some kind of bug
and my foot is huge
i got like look at how big it is it's giant it's massive my toes look like they're going to pop
so yeah it wasn't that good of a welcome
because yesterday when i was taking the dogs out and the bug just like bit me or something
i don't know what was it and my foot's now like huge so it just hurts to step on it i can't even walk
but whatever
we've been preparing all day all morning we've been cleaning up because it gets really moldy
and we're taking all our laundry we're getting a lot of things off the boat because we're going to be adding some weight
like scuba diving gear and all these things
we just want to make sure that we get as much gear as possible off the boat like
we're gonna be putting on like about 300 pounds so we're trying to remove about 300 pounds
and we have a lot of things that we've been carrying for a year that we haven't used
and that's what we're trying to get rid of all the things that we have not used at all that are just sitting there
you think eventually you're going to use them but you never end up using them so that's what we're getting rid of
so we were cleaning everything because all the walls everything you see here it starts getting
super moldy um we also removed the curtains because the curtains were moldy as well the roof
gets so moldy everywhere you can still see some parts here
so we've been we have to we still have to finish cleaning that one up but yeah that's all mold
and even if you clean up a lot it's still it's so hard because the rooms everything it's moldy
all the time so it's really really complicated but hopefully we're gonna try to leave a fan on
we're just gonna be out a week um and hopefully we'll come back and it's gonna be nice it won't
be moldy again but it probably will so you can see my dad just got here so they had to bring
two cars so we could fit all the things that we're taking um and alejo is just dropping the stuff off
and we have the chickens here they're just beeping and beeping because they're thinking that we're
gonna leave them behind which we would have done already but obviously we won't leave them behind
so i think we're just missing the dogs and we're good
hi baby
did everything fit yeah
are we taking the plants or not?
i don't know you tell me
no, you tell me
so we're taking all of them
we're taking the plants

we made it to my parents house and we just took everything off um so we took everything from my parents house
and we um left the dogs there and now we're heading to alejo's house

what's up guys so we are heading to the boat today and
we are putting on we're leaving the first load of things because we have a lot of things
as you can see the car is full and we're gonna have to do a couple of trips because of how much
things we have to take to the boat so
what's up babe
what's up people what's up
so yeah that's what we're doing today we're also going to the fishing store yes we're going
to what are we doing at the fishing store we're gonna get new braided line for the fishing rods
and two or three lures or four or five exactly and we're also doing um we've also
some of the things that we've gotten done so we already received kind of all the
things that we ordered for our scuba diving gear
oh we have to pick up the regulators
because we were getting we were doing service on them on the regulators
we got our bcds we got our tanks we pretty much got everything
we also purchased we also provisioned for the things that are not in the freezer or the refrigerator or any fresh veggies
just like cans and all that stuff so we're kind of gonna have to go to the boat and do a little inventory of the things that
we have and the things that we're missing do you agree i agree
so we'll see you at the boat guys
guys so we made it to the boat
and Hakuna is right there
and it's super windy people
it is it is super windy um
we have to pump the paddle board
so that's how we get back and forth so obviously we just leave the dinghy there
and so we have to paddle inflate the paddle all the way there bring the dinghy back and yeah
and this is all the stuff that we need to get out of the car
a lot of things so let's get started
there goes Alejo
and it's so windy
so meanwhile i'm getting everything off the car so once he brings the dinghy we can just
put everything on there and get it done
all right so we made it to the boat
and honestly it's just really hard to record
as we're going on the dinghy and bringing all this stuff in
but this is everything that we brought uh lots of food
oil um all kinds of provisions
so we're just gonna leave it here
and there's actually a storm coming in a couple of days so we're just gonna come back to the boat and stay here
that's the reason why we haven't left for the Bahamas is because there's a storm here
and we're not able to leave so we're just gonna come back
hopefully it will all be fine with the storm and then
and then prepare for the bahamas once the storm has passed so
bye hakuna we'll see you
when we come back
we came to the boat because there's actually a storm uh
that's kind of like trying to be a tropical storm or in a hurricane
it is a tropical storm but it was it's supposed to be turning into a hurricane that's what the people at the marina said i don't know
anyway so we are at the boat and it's been a really really rainy day
the winds have been pretty strong
we haven't dragged we moved the boat a little bit closer to the mangroves so they would protect us a little bit
so today it was a huge effort to upload the video to youtube because we didn't have
our internet provider just like completely went out of service they disappeared from
the face of the earth and so our personal hotspot sucks so we had to go to the marina
during the storm just to upload the video
i'm here like by the marina in a storm
um and so Alejo was coming in to pick me up in a little once the video is
uploaded
but luckily we made it so yeah
the boat is really messy because why is it messy
we're provisioning we're putting everything away
so you guys are probably wondering how we provision and how do we know what to buy
so we're provisioning for three months because that's the time that we expect to be in the bahamas
because we are buying the three-month permit for the bahamas
so what we do is we kind of do like a menu of the things that we eat for breakfast lunch snacks and dinner right
so for instance like you'll notice that every single week you tend to eat the same things like
we eat pasta we have like maybe a burger every once or every two weeks
we can have you know beans and rice and lentils and garbanzos
and so all these things so we just made like a list of things that we would eat during the during just a week
and then we just know exactly what ingredients we need
say if we eat the same thing like every single week then we need that four times a month
and then obviously we're doing it for three months so we would need it um 12 times
so we would just buy it 12 times so we have a lot of things that we're stocking up on
and what we've been doing and today what we did a little bit is just kind of try to put all the things away
um look it's really messy but
we have like a lot of toilet paper a lot of quinoa a lot of rice a lot of um milk a lot of pasta
so we're thinking we want to buy a little organizer thing but we haven't gotten that yet
um we probably will be ordering from amazon because i don't know where to find that
because this is really messy but this is where we keep all the things that can last forever
but we still have to do the provisioning for the things that are fresh and the things that go in the freezer and the refrigerator
so we're in the middle of a storm it's super windy outside
but yeah right now we have like 30 35 knots
and it's gusting like 40.
the day after the storm the flag survived and yeah it's pretty nice
it's windy
so we were covered by this wall of mangroves slash pine trees so it wasn't that bad
yesterday so now i'm gonna change the oil on the engines on our generator and the two engines
and what else and that's it
i have my cleaning lady she's gonna clean the the fridge and freezer the first mate
so we're going to change first the oil on the generator
i started the generator for about 10 minutes so the oil gets a little bit hot and gets more
like liquid and i'm gonna take it out through the like where you measure the oil through here
so i'm gonna
take out the oil put new oil clean out the filter the oil filter and that's it
what have we been doing?
we have been just fixing the boat because it was super dirty really nasty
i removed the curtains of the entire boat just to give them a like wash them in the washer
and now i don't know where they go because one's like larger than the other one whatever
we're also like just cleaning the floor taking advantage that the dogs are not here
just cleaning the
the refrigerator so that when we bring all of our all of our food and all the stuff that
needs to be refrigerator everything's clean and ready to go
look at all the trash that we have
accumulated
and alejo is doing the oil on both engines
baby what's up what you doing
talk to the camera
changing the oil you already did the other engine right
so that's what we're doing with the beautiful skyline of miami
and and now we're just waiting for a weather window then we have to get our covid test um
the dogs vet documents and once we do that we'll be ready to go to the bahamas!
So exited i know
so i just finished changing the oil of the engine turn them on for 15 minutes and then check the oil
and yeah that's it we're done now i'm gonna do some cleaning it's pretty dirty
dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty. so can i clean
and yes
guys so we just got our covid test done but we couldn't record because they like came out of nowhere
and they just tested us but it was horrible they made us cry and stuff
but yeah we'll get the test the rapid test in an hour and then the other
one in 48 hours we'll see how it comes up see you
