okay guys last week got the water maker
0:02
installed now we're going to get the
0:04
anchor chain installed because we still
0:06
have to get to the Bahamas and uh I know
0:09
we've been saying that but yeah we we
0:12
got to have some chain so we got 300t of
0:14
chain you may have saw us picked that up
0:16
in uh that was two videos ago and uh now
0:21
we're going to get installed on anchor
0:23
which should be quite
0:26
interesting but uh yeah get on get on
0:30
this now so we have the anchor on the
0:33
boat and I got it all spread out and
0:35
I'll show you what I got
0:36
here so if my measurements are correct
0:40
we have a little bit over 300
0:43
ft and uh I've marked up to 160 ft and
0:47
we'll just use the
0:50
uh uh anchor alarm to guesstimate how
0:55
much anchor we have out or
0:58
chain now I've got full this one up and
1:01
then I'm going to drop this one down and
1:04
hopefully this will hold
1:07
us look at like we have about 10 knots
1:13
of wind 8 knots of wind so should be
1:16
very calm and hopefully that gets
1:20
done okay I got our anchor out and we're
1:25
holding got the anchor up tied off I
1:28
just got to get the T chain TI it onto
1:30
it and
1:32
uh get the the new chain back down
1:37
quickly cuz my babe is back there and
1:40
she's
1:40
[Music]
1:42
nervous she doesn't like
1:47
this okay so I had to pull the cover off
1:49
so I can get the chain fed through the
1:51
bottom and then I can get this
1:53
reattached and drop this anchor down
1:56
before my wife uh freaks out
2:00
okay guys so we got the anchor installed
2:02
we managed to hook another anchor down
2:05
there that we couldn't pull up that's
2:08
our third time yeah and there
2:11
was some cord thing and now we're I
2:15
guess an anchor we were trying to pull
2:17
up but there was a cop stopped by he was
2:19
going to help us out but I I got off
2:21
with my our hook so yeah it's uh little
2:25
stressful we had to re-anchor the boat
2:28
cuz uh I forgot to untie the anchor so
2:32
when I pulled up the other anchor I
2:33
couldn't just drop that one so that was
2:36
my bad made it a little harder but now
2:39
we're just sell back in I have to
2:42
straighten up this uh mess I have on the
2:44
front deck now but the cop said that
2:48
lake syvia is not an Anchorage not an
2:50
official Anchorage he says it's a
2:53
space but it's marked on uh they don't
2:57
tell you to move so no but uh nice he
3:01
was a nice guy he wanted to help us out
3:03
but yeah we we got to figur it out
3:06
before he could uh maneuver his boat in
3:08
position
3:09
mhm I'm just watching how we're swinging
3:13
cuz I don't yeah you once you reset
3:16
anchor it's like you got an hour or two
3:19
to figure out if you're going to hold
3:22
yeah but now we have 300t chain yay
3:31
okay so now we have all the chain our
3:33
locker that was a nightmare cuz I forgot
3:36
to untie the anchor
3:38
and this is the next day it's a little
3:43
cloudier but uh now I got to pull this
3:45
chain out cuz I got to get tie onto the
3:48
new road or the old
3:51
road okay guys so I have all our chain
3:54
out our new chain this is our old chain
3:57
old chain doesn't look that bad
4:01
still got some uh coating on it of
4:05
course the par cut off and now I have to
4:06
get the road out
4:08
here and I'm probably going to get that
4:10
bag out of
4:14
there so if you see here this is the
4:16
splice they did have on the end of it
4:18
and it's kind of loose down here but
4:21
you'll see there's like there is two
4:23
strands going through
4:25
here and three strands going through
4:28
here this was really too big big to go
4:30
through the windless so we're going to
4:32
narrow this down a
4:34
bit cuz
4:36
uh can't be much bigger than the chain
4:39
which you see that's bigger and we're
4:42
going to see if we can clean this up and
4:44
make a better splice okay I got
4:46
everything out of our anchor Locker I
4:48
vacuum the bottom of it there's the
4:51
vacuum right there and things are
4:55
looking good now I got to get to splice
4:56
it so when you're splicing
5:00
your anchor onto your road this is
5:03
probably where you're going to be doing
5:04
it on the front of a
5:07
boat and uh I'll show you where I got
5:09
started right now so as you can see I
5:12
got three strands and uh
5:16
your this Strand and this strand are
5:19
going to go through the bottom of your
5:20
link and this strand will go through the
5:22
top or vice versa whichever you just
5:25
want your midle strand to go by itself
5:28
your other two strands
5:30
to uh they'll uh go
5:34
together and after you get done it'll
5:36
look something like this so you see I've
5:39
got these two strands going down this
5:41
one strand coming up and you'll see
5:44
you'll have one strand to one side one
5:46
strand to the other side and then you
5:48
can start uh making a braid but the
5:52
first thing I got to do is I got to take
5:53
this tape off and I got to pull it up
5:55
tight once you have it up tight you're
5:57
going to uh to in you're going to skip a
6:01
loop and go under a loop and you're
6:04
going to do
6:05
that for each one you're just going to
6:08
go I'm going to go uh clock
6:13
clockwise okay so I've got about two
6:16
dots in all your uh strand should be
6:19
about the same length I'm going to do
6:22
one more strand and then I'm going to
6:23
taper this out and cut these off okay so
6:28
I took two further than one so it it
6:31
tapers down a little bit but yeah it's
6:35
not a bad
6:37
braid and uh now I just cut these off
6:40
and see if I can uh heat them up melt
6:44
them a little
6:45
bit and there it's
6:48
done and I took uh just heat and uh melt
6:53
at the ends and yeah this shouldn't
6:56
break in a long time cuz um a 300t of
7:01
chain I shouldn't even get this
7:03
far okay I got all my chain back in my
7:06
locker my dive weights are at the
7:09
front and there we
7:12
go I just need to scrub this down a
7:15
bit come here going out to the the beach
7:19
hopefully it's not too crowded Bella's
7:21

7:44
adventure projects and stuff I was

16:31
okay so spent two days working on our

account getting hacked and then after we
16:40
recovered that we got Mass reported and
16:44
uh yeah our our whole feed got shut down
16:48
and uh deleted by YouTube but we're back
16:52
and uh the reviews are in they confirmed
16:55
the hack and uh they've corrected it and
17:00
hopefully we can not have this happen
17:03
again cuz this was a
17:05
nightmare and uh let me we're going to
17:07
continue on we're working on getting our
17:10
journey to Bahamas and and stuff like
17:13
that but uh if this had been in another

country it probably would have been very
17:18
hard to get this
17:21
right and my babe is here and uh she is
17:26
glad that the nightmare is hopefully
17:31
over the lighting I don't know how you
17:33
prevent anything like this yeah I don't
17:36
know how they got a hold of all
17:38
the passwords and the ways you can get
17:41
into our account I don't know how they
17:43
did that they changed everything our
17:45
emails our phone numbers all that and
17:49
they shouldn't even have gotten past the
17:51
alerts we were getting on our phone yeah
17:54
they shouldn't have been able to ever
17:56
change our password because we didn't
17:57
authorize it y so we've we've tightened
18:00
up our security and uh yeah I'm I'm
18:04

26:16
we'll put that in for a little
26:19
longer okay guys that's my
26:23
pizza and that's my bab's
26:26
pizza my bab's pizza looks better than

mine that's because I didn't overwork
26:34
the
26:35
dough it's fluffy yes it is it's like a
26:40
Douro
26:41
yes and mine's like your is like the
26:45
pizza we ate in Italy it's not something
26:48
I would want to eat it's like the
26:49
Italian pizza we had that was flat
26:53
and no it's not like no that was way
26:56
flatter that was like Cracker
27:00
