we just got hit by a massive storm that was insane it was time to get back on board and check for any
damage this room just got destroyed really oh well i wouldn't say destroyed yes she definitely went
through some bouncing that's when i was down here i felt like we were on a passage like worse than
coming back from grenada yeah it's it was bouncing in here man it was i think it was a good call
to pack up a book bag look at this look at that damage so when we're in the coming into
the winds they're about at about 40 knots they're like 50. 50. before they kicked up to 65.70
jeremiah was like okay you know let's pack up our valuables and get you and reese off the boat
so i packed up our laptops and our hard drives and paperwork that's our valuables
laptop so we can upload video hard drives because it has all of our video equipment
and our paperwork for calypso and our passports those are our valuables yes that's crazy so i
packed it up in this book bag and i'm happy it's coming back to the boat it'd be sad if we were
going to a hotel room because that would mean something different yeah but it worked out yeah
good job maurice
all right well power's out yeah relax that's all right i mean our batteries are full
they're sitting at 13 too we have water we have uh two full tanks of water and you know
so the only thing we don't have is ac so is that because the gangway fell
it could be or it just could be power it could be out everywhere but you know we kind of expected
there wouldn't be any power i have ice i'm good did you just like drop your pants i said come on
i got soaked as you can see and um when you're telling me you're off the boat i was naked
i was trying to get changed and then you're like get off the let's get off the boat yeah
i wanted to go for it i wanted to get you guys up there before i got too bad
you know it was like going over 50 knots for sustain oh that's the guys a jacket is flipped
all over the place up there my jacket oh [ __ ]
stop that
get that first
that that thing didn't go was that yours i don't know it was this one it was mine well
yeah it was like on the rail oh it sucked man yeah little back winds coming through
thank you for telling me you're welcome so you just won't stop
welcome to lazy gecko sailing i'm brittany and this is jeremiah
we've been sailing the world and filming it all for you
make sure to click subscribe so you don't miss any of the fun
we got going on here my boat boy yeah i'm your person oh no
have you ever had a boson no that sounds appealing though yeah i forgot it's polishing before i
put the solar panels back up yeah great idea was it salty yeah well i watched them
first and then yeah they were nasty man these guys been crazy they've been like
they're like
yeah that's his next boat you want to sell calypso he was like well i put it in four put him forward
oh man yeah put that mug it says i'm sorry what i said when i was docking or something like that
yeah it's stressful yeah i figured i'd polish this before i put it all back together i just watched
the whole arch i'm gonna polish it and then put the solar on and then the sails about sail up
and just getting everything back to you know but the boat is filthy it had like freaking salt all
over it so yeah it's pretty salty all that spray yeah but it's good you need to take our time get
it all back together and it'll be fun fellas just got destroyed inside by the five-year-old
what she's leaning i don't know i don't know what's
the side panels nice job dude thanks sure don't let me stop you go ahead
clean up clean it up
good work solar panels are up
she watched the fender covers how's that coming
that's nice those things are nasty oh yeah they were awful they sat in the water at some
point we didn't realize yeah they're like brown and stuff at the bottom do they come out good
yeah i washed them twice and the second time i used a little bit of bleach
oh but i mean you can still see yes it's all right yeah when you find good washrooms are you putting
the good side up now that's that's the so you're putting the bad side at the top does that matter
very nice honey we had a few days of gusty weather that kept us here
perfect for putting the boat back together without too much of a rush
when we pulled the sail off i just put this up with a bungee pull it together and that way it
holds this from sliding up we're not going to raise this down right now unfortunately it's
going to gust like that it wasn't gusting like that till we needed to raise sail yeah
when you put the sail up it's pretty simple you just basically hook it up like this
and so you just put this little bead in the little track and you go up with it
and it stays in there and that's what it is now eventually this will start sometimes i've seen
him start failing and stuff but really it's just a bead it's amazing that all that force is being
held by that little dumpster the captain wasn't happy he got it all out to put it up and the
winds picked right up when it was time to hoist surprisingly this isn't uncommon the winds no man
and they will mess with you we're off the dock and headed on my mind we're on the way to thimble
island which is supposed to mimic maine a bunch of rock formations that are privately owned little
islands so you can't go ashore but that also means there's a good chance that your anchor could get
fouled and after reading reviews it's common to happen so jeremiah created a trip line for us
i've never used one he's never used one but it's supposed to help you get your anchor out which i'm
sure it does if it were to get fouled i'm excited to use it we are going to be there in about
an hour we're gonna have some lunch and then the winds are switching to the south so that means
it'll be uncomfortable to stay overnight so we'll pick up anchor and uh continue on or if we get a
boring ball we'll let go of the morning ball and continue on well that was the plan anyway soon
after we got a sad phone call to tell us that my grandfather had passed away unfortunately
we decided to turn around and head back to the marina to prepare to lay him to rest
you ready to set me up the mast i am i'm a pro by now
okay so no noise and then i'll just transmit as soon as it starts
it's ticking i don't know people hear it
it's like 120 piece of men in about two beats a second
you like that that turn you on wow the way he does is poland before we head out
we decided to remove the radar antenna for this ticking issue well you know what we're
gonna do i do we're gonna raise you up the halyard just like we did two days ago
yeah we have to go home to florida for a family emergency and since our raiders also giving us
trouble we decided to kind of do it at the same time we can mail it out along the way
or we'll already be in florida we can drop it off if we need to and then pick it back up or
have it shipped back to our family member's house before we go then when we get back we can take off
yeah hopefully we can take it off now when i'm up there i'm gonna need some um i'm gonna need tools
so you're gonna have to send them up i got the string oh no but you're gonna need to know what
they are no i'm not i don't know what i need and i can't you can't just go up and down up and down
so i'm gonna have to google it it's gonna be a new
i hate when you need to i explain what the tool is every time like it is this type of tool
it looks like this yeah but we can never find your tools they're always missing they're not missing
so we're going to use this that and the chair i'm gonna try to put this chair on a little
better this time because it was like i was falling out of it yesterday i'll just clip
this on when i get up there and if i fall before i get up there then i'll just uh
hold on the mass and slide down like a fire pole i'm not going very high i won't be that far
no i mean you'll probably just break a leg or my back or something your knees already messing up so
my whole body's messing up so we're good we get around but this stuff can be a little dangerous
enough about that though let's get this antenna off up the mast he goes
all right we're good i hoist from the stern and jeremiah travels up the mast
we use the headsets to communicate and they make it super easy all right safety's on
jeremiah is up the mast for the second time this week checking out our radar he's been
troubleshooting with the company online and they wanted him to check the belt they thought it
might have been a belt issue he doesn't think it's a bell issue uh obviously he's
skilled in this department i'm not he's the one working with it not the company so
i think he's probably right with what he thinks is wrong he thinks it might be the motor needs to be
rebuilt or i don't know maybe it's just completely failed it but they don't make this version anymore
of the radar to buy a new radar it's about two thousand dollars we're hoping we can take it off
ship it to them and they can rebuild the motor um we did send them an email they haven't responded
so we don't know but we're taking it off just in case and we're gonna bring it with us to florida
just in case it might be all for nothing because we might just have to buy a new one if they can't
rebuild the motor but his home is now up the mess he's actually getting very comfortable with it
it's pretty impressive is daddy up the mast again yeah don't get under him in case something falls
tick tick tick that's not normal radar is super important so we need this fixed
ready
so got it
took the radar down we're going to send this in it's basically making like a
like an electrical click sounds like voltage like tick tick tick tick uh you know got to hold for
rooney they thought it might be the belt too tight it wasn't the belt it's not today if
i'm missing teeth or anything and it doesn't happen when you turn it without it being on
it only happens when you apply power so i'm going to go ahead and put it back together i
had to take the right here has some wires coming through in a grommet i'm gonna replace that i'm
gonna chew it up pretty good to get it out it's not too bad but i'll replace it with a new one
and that's all we really damaged pulling it out as far as we know we're gonna wrap this thing up and
we're gonna take it with us and we're going to drive down to florida uh for a family emergency
uh so but in the meantime we're just going to ship this out and hopefully it comes back working great
and we'll stick it back up unfortunately take everything else down with it that's okay i mean
just keep everything organized and it'll all go up pretty easily or should that's the theory
there's a little triangle right here and that's where there's a little triangle on this too
what you do is you just meet those up
and then seal it up and you just put this use a screwdriver and put it on
is that like a new puppy yeah it's our new baby it's actually the same old baby just rebuilt hey
it's cheaper than buying a new one yeah how much was
these things it new like well for the the ones that don't move like two thousand twenty five
hundred dollars or something like that we gotta repair for a hundred bucks awesome
so cozy in here so let's just take it out of here and put it up on the deck
yeah you want to tell me what was wrong with the calypso is a little sad to not have it
um we got hit by that hurricane and afterwards it was it was making like a ticking sound it sounded
like electrical but we tried to troubleshoot it and let's go with furuno and everything ended up
having to send it in and they found issues with the motor the motor was coming apart inside so
they repaired it checked it over and now it should be good so i'm gonna spend the day later
today playing around sunset of the mass putting it together yeah we couldn't really leave connecticut
without it because um yeah fog's really bad up here the radar is a big deal but we got it
we are back in business radar working great and we're off the dock enjoying a lovely anchorage
well i can see our anchor buoy out there we just started using a little trip line
because all the rocks up here but it's kind of cool this was perfect later in the day
it was time to relax and grab a cold one we sat back and enjoyed the moment
boating can be so amazing unpredictable too for instance can you believe this turned into
coming up on the lazy geckos so we had a little hit and run paddle board down to look at the
damage welding tanks always smell so good well today's the big day i'm excited to get to the
boat today and move on i'm passing by calypso north carolina our brand new dinghy let's go
to flip that one they look like they have little penises luck on your first cruising adventure huh
thank you don't stop all right don't leave me in here got an uber to get some groceries and we saw
this cute little bar to stop it it's a lot warmer you're doing a great job there honey thank you
vhf antenna firmly mounted it's all burned up in here i guess we won't be leaving early how
does everything's so small i can't freaking read it are you right in front of us it's
