7:49
here and uh it's almost private
7:56
yeah this is really nice
7:58
i wouldn't want to be sailing though
8:04
it is it feels great
8:07
it's nothing but
8:11
mangroves and sand
8:16
not a lot of turtles today we did see
8:22
some this little thing just snakes
8:24
around
8:27
[Music]
8:29
forever that's not that pretty
8:43
there's a baby shark right there baby
8:45
see him
8:53
so shark bands
8:59
work well we made it to the
9:03
ocean okay guys had a great time at
9:06
Shroud Key uh really liked the the
9:09
dinghy uh area and that washing machine
9:13
was awesome my wife loved
9:16
it and it was nice yeah it was nice
9:21
and and guys uh yeah this uh was great
9:26
it's you know come here with a uh 40ft
9:28
boat 40 around a 40ft boat it's going to
9:32
cost you
9:33
$40
9:34
but seems like a nice stop now uh we're
9:39
going to Fal K cuz we have some foul
9:41
weather coming in and uh nothing like
9:45
getting out of it in the horseshoe uh
9:47
little bay there so that's where we're
9:50
heading and hopefully we can get a
9:52
little sailing in right now we have the
9:54
uh wind directly on our nose which won't
9:57
we can't sail with that but maybe uh
10:01
about 10 miles I think we
10:03
can that right there is Elbow K you can
10:07
hide from a northern wind behind Elbow K
10:11
but we still have to pay $40 a day to do
10:17
it okay guys we're out here we're doing
10:20
a little pounding
10:22
see uh we hit another group of them uh
10:26
waves
10:27
but looks exciting the good thing is
10:30
it's uh directly on our bell and so it
10:35
we just cutting through it the bad thing
10:37
is it's directly on our bow which means
10:39
the wind's directly on our bow and we
10:42
ain't doing no
10:46
sailing so soon as I pull out the camera
10:49
nothing happens
10:51
we're buddy boating i really wanted to
10:53
push through yesterday i thought it
10:54
would have been a lot smoother but we're
10:56
making it and uh with uh the wind it's
10:59
actually really helping us the wind
11:01
angle is pretty good right now so we're
11:04
actually getting uh making good ground
11:06
and uh it's plowing through the waves
11:09
and our buddy boat back there let's see
11:11
if I can see them i'll have to turn
11:13
around they're getting a hammering too
11:17
we're all getting hammered
11:19
but uh yeah the wind angle's better now
11:23
what are you thinking baby
11:26
oh I'm
11:28
just there's been too many of these mhm
11:31
too many of running in this weather i
11:34
don't know what is going on this year
11:36
but it's like you'll have these
11:38
beautiful
11:40
days and then you got to run again and
11:44
it's hell trying to get
11:46
there it's miserable
11:50
but uh yeah the the sail is really
11:53
helping plow through these waves i may
11:55
put a smidge of head sail to
11:58
help but we're doing six knots that's
12:01
why we're leaving our buddy
12:06
boat buy a sailboat they said it'll be
12:09
fun they
12:17
said These guys right here are probably
12:19
laughing at us out here on their little
12:22
be getting beat
12:27
around there's my
12:32
babe okay guys we're about 30 minutes
12:36
from
12:37
Falai and the water has really changed
12:41
color here's the look out
12:45
there and it's also calmed
12:48
down but uh what do you think babe
12:55
and then we get a slam
13:03
