0:32
7 so we got 14
0:35
minutes but uh yeah puppies right there
0:39

0:45
but we're not going to drink too much of
0:51
it what do you want me to
0:54
do I'm not
0:56
awake I guess if you're yachty going out
0:58
the 17th Street Bridge
1:00
here in Fort lale you can get your live
1:03
bait before you
1:07
exit if you come here to Fort lydale in
1:11
Lake CIA Anchorage you're going to
1:13
experience the noise of these all the
1:15
time you got The Love Boat and you have
1:19
the uh
1:24
Disney that right there is where we're
1:26
going hopefully it's a lot better than
1:29
last time
1:31
oh he says we're already
1:36
rocking
1:38
so the sun is coming
1:40
up
1:42
yeah I think we're getting U wakes from
1:46
Battle thrusters in here or Tide cuz the
1:50
tide is going
1:52
out so far we're doing pretty good uh
1:55
the wind speed is supposed to be uh
2:00
eight it's 16 so double and the uh but
2:04
the waves were supposed to be one to two
2:07
they look like they're
2:09
about 2 three something like that and
2:14
we're doing a lot better than last time
2:16
because uh the wave direction is so much
2:19
better so we're just mostly pounding
2:21
we're not rocking side to side last time
2:24
we were hitting rail to rail and that
2:27
crap sucked what did you think of Ra the
2:30
real sailing last time well it turned
2:33
around could handle it it was just too
2:37
much I'm just hoping this stays out just
2:38
a little bit so we're not bouncing so
2:40
much yeah Ary
2:45
sore okay everybody strapped in for the
2:48
ride can't see cuz the Sun but that's
2:51
how far away we are from the
2:54
shore yeah it's getting smaller
2:57
hopefully you can see
3:00
but this is a smooth ride and that boat
3:04
is getting launched a few times going
3:07
across
3:15
there so what do you think of the ride
3:17
so far
3:18
babe thought it would be
3:21
smoother
3:23
yeah it's a lot of hobby hores yeah a
3:27
lot of hobby horse still the
3:30
the light's horrible what just said but
3:33
there's our puppy she's not enjoying the
3:35
ride
3:37
either and uh we
3:42
are 58 mil
3:46
away and there is the city if you can
3:49
see that it's the way over there so
3:53
that's the
3:55
city that is lale
4:00
had to give way to that tuen barge
4:03
basically got a line in between
4:06
it and they still moving faster than we
4:11
are but not by
4:15
much okay so we're out here on the big
4:18
blue I know my dad does not like the big
4:21
blue he likes to see ground or land
4:24
around them but there is no land around
4:26
us no land in sight we are 41 Nao miles
4:32
away from Mohamed there's my baby back
4:36
over
4:38

4:48
rough but I knew that it wasn't like the
4:51
other day there were just hobby horing a
4:54
lot but we're H horing to the point that
4:57
our front our bow was just m so hard
5:01

5:04
got out a little bit
5:06
further um we're still kind of doing
5:09
this but we're not slapping anymore yeah
5:13
we're in 2,000t of water so we're still
5:15
in the Gulf Stream and all that good

9:22
glassy but then you got these

9:57
and a half left that's 15 minutes
9:59
you get
10:01
there it's been a long road but this is
10:04
the longest journey we've done in a
10:07
single uh
10:09
hop and uh pretty
10:11
awesome awesome yeah I don't know about
10:15
those overnight I don't know about that

10:23
be able to see the waterolor change cuz
10:26
we are uh the Sun is
10:30
setting on
10:31
us but uh yeah we are almost there we
10:35
got 9
10:41
minutes so we're putting up our Q flag
10:44
in
10:46
Bahamas and then we have to make sure we
10:48
can find a Bohemian flag we don't have
10:52
one
11:05
[Music]
11:12
and it's wait can't find it what oh
11:15

11:22
up awesome okay guys we made it to our
11:26
Anchorage I'm going to have to go
11:27
tighten up our haard and all that stuff
11:30
but yeah now it's time to get checked in
11:33
the Bahamas and explore and and we don't
11:35

11:38
on the bottom so yeah but we're not now
11:40
we're just like we have a big weight
11:42
yeah I put I put out about 100 uh 200
11:46
yeah 200 250 chain so get it into some
11:51
I'm wondering how there's one two
11:54
they're all in the same situation yeah I
11:56
think they're all just sitting there
11:57
with their anchor just cuz it it
12:00
sometimes holds and then sometimes move
12:02
but if it blows we're going out to the
12:04
