6:53
uh yeah we're getting on out of here and
6:56
uh going to go down to treasure K we
6:58
spent way too much my
7:01
here we had some fun yeah we did have
7:03
some fun but man it was expensive
7:08
so let straighten this uh gr up and
7:11
we're go ahead that way so it'll be fun
7:15
so y'all stay tuned and we'll keep you
7:18
informed
7:19
on uh how we're doing and plus uh
7:21
getting out here we're going to make a
7:23
uh I think it's well cut we're going to
7:24
go through which is uh uh a little bit
7:28
uh atlany so she's uh hoping that it's
7:32
very calm it should be very calm today
7:34
but she's looking for last one we went
7:36
through is really
7:38
rough it wasn't that bad it was pretty
7:42
rough okay but uh we've had rougher just
7:45
done the ocean but then our the last cut
7:48
we did but this one should be really
7:50
calm today so we'll take you along and
7:54
see how it
7:58
goes yeah
8:01
well guys we ain't got no win to sell by
8:04
oh my
8:05
gosh we got three knots of win on our
8:07
nose and that's cuz we're making it cuz
8:09
we're moving at 5 knots so got nothing
8:13
out here look at that look at that
8:15
glassy that is but uh yeah this is what
8:19
she wants for that
8:20
cut absolutely no wind
8:23
waves got a lot of rough passages I'm
8:26
ready for just calm yeah little little
8:30
iron cell going on here no Breeze
8:33
sweating loving it she's like we needed
8:36
some hot days cuz we had a lot of cold
8:39
ones but today's a little warm little
8:42
warm so I'm probably going to have to
8:43
get off of her I'm probably really
8:44
warming her off
8:46
sticky go so this is the first time I've
8:50
been up here just
8:52
chillaxing while we're moving the you
8:55
know usually I'm tied in and stuff
8:57
because we haven't picked good weather
8:59
windows but look at this my gosh let me
9:01
turn you around here look at
9:04
that oh my gosh this is glass out
9:13
here and we're going that
9:19
way so there's the wreath I don't know
9:21
if you can see the breaking waves on it
9:23
right there but we're going over to well
9:26
cut which is over there
9:29
and I'm hoping the current is not that
9:35
bad what are you thinking
9:39
baby
9:42
deceiving I wouldn't want to be doing
9:46
that no we've done that
9:49
before not doing that again come have uh
9:53
M uh uh yeah but that's even worse cuz
9:57
that that cracks on our Reef well yeah
9:59
there's no Reef it's 22t where we're
10:01
going through
10:06
so well we just held a sailing vessel on
10:09
the radio I couldn't get their name but
10:11
they just went through the pass well cut
10:14
and uh it is they say glass so I'm
10:18
hoping it be glass cuz it seems like
10:22
things are getting a little more Rocky
10:23
out here than they were it's not glass
10:25
out
10:26
here but uh
10:29
yeah looking for glass what do you think
10:32
babe want a glass water changing color
10:35
yeah I did I think it's because there's
10:38
no grass down there no there isn't let
10:40
me show you white sand so it changed to
10:42
like
10:43
a like a light
10:46
blue I don't I don't can't explain it it
10:50
doesn't really show well on camera no it
10:52
doesn't what it actually looks like it's
10:56
weird let me turn it around so you can
10:58
see down in
11:03
it so that's what the water she's
11:06
talking about looks
11:07
like it's uh it's like you can't see the
11:11
there's nothing on the bottom
11:18
anymore well that's the guy we contact
11:21
on the radio Spirit X to see on that cam
11:24
ran and no we're getting close but we're
11:28
starting to rock we're starting to feel
11:29
the rock of the the waves coming through
11:31
the
11:35
reef but there's no breaking nothing
11:37
breaking out there that's good there may
11:39
be a little current to fight I could
11:41
step up the RPM I'm only doing 2,000 RPM
11:44
right
11:45
now so I don't know if you can see it
11:48
but there's waves and there's current
11:50
ripping right there a little bit so of
11:53
course we want to stay away from that
11:54
current and our cut is coming up if you
11:57
see here on the out there's our cut
12:02
right here and we are
12:05
about2 na miles away from it and we got
12:08
want to go through the deepest area
12:10
which is 26 ft deep
12:12
supposedly my babe is enjoying the up
12:15
and down motion it's going up like a
12:18
roller coaster or when you're on them
12:20
roads that suddenly go down really fast
12:23
yeah
12:25
that had coffee and eggs probably wasn't
12:28
a good idea
12:29
yep but we're getting
12:32
closer so I I know you can't see this on
12:35
camera but the the sell is going up and
12:38
down it's it's very uh uh wide spacing
12:42
but it's going up and down like every uh
12:45
2T let your stomach go up and go down
12:48
and just drops
12:50
down but yeah we're getting close to
12:52
this cut we're about to start turning
12:54
into
12:55
it I don't know if I'll film any of this
12:58
well I can feel the current it's uh
13:02
almost getting to slack tide so we went
13:04
up from 5 knots to about
13:08
5/8 and we are almost through this
13:12
so yeah you see it breaking back there
13:14
behind me on the
13:16
reef but our depth got to a low of
13:23
24 and uh now we're getting getting
13:26
deeper again
13:27
so that's a good sign yeah we're at
13:32
27 yeah so we're through
13:35
yay what you
13:38
think that was it that was it did I
13:41
overd dramatize
13:43
that well I kind of hope that the swells
13:46
would stop mhm no the swells are worse
13:49
out
13:51
here we're going we're going to be out
13:53
here for
13:54
about uh 30 45 minutes and then we're
13:57
going back in and we have to go through
13:59
another
14:03
one that one supposed to be worse no
14:05
that one's
14:09
better and that right there is well
14:13
okay and
14:15
uh looks like a nice deserted
14:19
island probably offer a little
14:21
protection on the back side from
14:24
uh a uh easterly blow
14:29
okay we're going to we're about to get
14:31
back in uh off the well pass back in
14:33
there do you see anywhere the waves are
14:35
breaking you don't go in there that's a
14:37
that's a
14:38
nogo okay guys so when you're going
14:40
through these Cuts you go through the
14:42
deepest area you can see on the chart
14:45
and that's how you hit
14:47
them sorry I didn't mean hit them I mean
14:50
that's how you go through them that's
14:52
the best point or angle of attack my
14:55
wife said hit them we're not hitching
14:58
anything
15:01
so there's no hitting things on the
15:04
boat no because we can't afford
15:08
it so yeah but uh I me I'll show you
15:13
what I'm talking
15:14
about so if you see right here this is
15:17
the deepest
15:19
point and let
15:22
me let me screw up everything right
15:26
there so yeah it's getting in the uh
15:29
yeah low
15:31
20s okay that is where we are going that
15:35
is treasure K let me zoom in here there
15:39
you can go you can see it now and we got
15:43
an hour to get there it looks like it's
15:45
right there though
15:47
huh my wife was looking up treasure K
15:50
and uh she's like that looks pretty nice
15:55
yeah nooy it's so
15:57
nice well they said uh dorine hurricane
16:01
dorine really destroyed it or Doran or
16:05
whatever it's called but and there's
16:07
some things that haven't been rebuilt so
16:09
we'll see to be an island
16:13
yeah need a bar
16:16
NOP my wife just got done with dishes
16:19
and now she's taking
16:20
her uh a little photo to share with
16:24
family and friends how's this looking
16:26
water is insane oh yeah
16:30
because it's in turtle k there's grass
16:34
down there even though it's um clear
16:37
there's grass on there so the water
16:39
looks a little uh like
16:42
emeraly here this looks like it's
16:44
beautiful I I don't know how to explain
16:47
it's
16:48
is and they say the
16:52
ex they say the Exumas are even prettier
16:55
and I'm like wow this is pretty dang
16:58
pretty
17:01
there it
17:04
is okay so we still have some
17:07
Devastation on this
17:09
island yeah that house right there they
17:12
still haven't opened up the uh treasure
17:14
K Marina
17:16
Resort and
17:18
uh yeah but
17:21
uh most part you he does look really
17:25
nice
17:27
still but I can tell you one thing it is
17:31
shallow coming in here we're on a low
17:34
tide right now and uh we actually hit uh
17:39
7.3 coming in here 7.3 ft our draft is
17:43
supposedly
17:45
6.4 uh we're not full on water we are
17:49
full on fuel so we may be a little
17:51
lighter but uh yeah and coming in the
17:55
marina about 7t coming through there so
17:58
or not in the marina but in Treasure K
18:01
Anchorage so uh we're going to inch our
18:04
way in but the the good thing is if we
18:06
do get hung up a 3ft Tide's coming in
18:09
behind us so it will set us
18:13
free May dropping the anchor let's see
18:16
if you can see it down there did we run
18:18
over the
18:21
anchor yeah we ran over the anchor it's
18:23
going that way
18:26
yeah M so we that how many how many uh
18:30
Stripes do you have out uh three three
18:33
okay so we should go
18:36
back but look at this this is treasure K
18:40
we were going to go up in the in the the
18:44
little Anchorage over there but we
18:47
stayed out
18:48
here and my it's not it's not bad
18:51
weather might as well be out here where
18:54
it's nice instead of being tucked up in
18:56
where all the homes are I mean if if it
18:59
got windy then we'll we'll go up in
19:01
there but this is this is this is better
19:05
oh yeah and hopefully no bugs yeah see
19:10
flies have been kind of
19:12
pissed I think there's still two in our
19:15
house probably we brought them from uh
19:17
turtle
19:20
k okay is our anchor the right way
19:23
now over there uhuh so I just have to
19:26
put out the snubber now
19:30
how far is it I don't know a lot of our
19:32
chains on the ground right
19:34
now
19:36
yeah pull down that a little
19:39
Prett put in reversing uh that sale on
19:43
there why I put the S
19:45
on so when I'm
19:48
anchoring uh once we have the anchor uh
19:51
down and and we know how much uh scope
19:54
we want for our chain which we're only
19:56
in 7t L uh then I just pop in reverse
20:01
and let it sit out there and get my
20:03
snowber on and I'll show you what the
20:05
chain looks like so as you can see our
20:08
chain is pretty stretched out it's still
20:11
droopy cuz uh I only have it in
20:14
basically neutral reverse but and I can
20:17
tie the stubber on and my baby the water
20:20
was more bluish over there yeah it's a
20:23
little green here it it looks more like
20:25
green turtle k right here but it's not
20:29
like you could just drop anchor right
20:30
over there I mean I guess you could but
20:32
yeah we could but then there's all these
20:34
like motor boats
20:35
that would
20:38
purposely just to make your life
20:40
miserable yeah okay and with my Bridal
20:44
on and it's still loose cuz i s got set
20:48
points on my Bridal I can run this down
21:02
and then I can get my
21:06
Loop so I put no stress on my windless
21:10
here and now I take and tie my chain to
21:13
that Cleaton
21:15
there and now we are anchored and there
21:19
is tied up and let's go see if we
21:22
drag okay so now I'm going to just put
21:25
some revs on it and we should have
21:27
plenty of scope out there
21:29
there 100t chain and 8T water I think
21:33
that's
21:38
good
21:45
and let's
21:47
see we stopping here we are nope we're
21:51
still going back we're still
21:54
dragging yeah we
21:57
are oh there we are we
22:01
[Music]
22:02
stopped and we Have No Blows coming
22:06
so we pulled back uh we dragged about 10
22:10
ft mhm so we'll let this sell down and
22:14
we'll I'll show you what uh our chain
22:17
looks like I we only have we have three
22:20
so that's 80t plus my snubber that's 90
22:23
foot or is it eight that's just 60 60
22:28
foot okay so with my SN that's 70 foot
22:32
that's so yeah we dragged about about 10
