So we're leaving Dragon Point. We just stayed here for a couple days, pick up some fuel, get some drugs for a dog
0:09
So we're in the pet store and we got her these little CBD bars. Hopefully it will help cure anxiety on the boat
0:19
I'll go groceries. A little bit of groceries. And now we're going to head up to just before Cocoa Village. There's a little island up there that Danielle Spinner birthday of
0:30
I'm not hang out there until we want to move. It's just whatever we want to do, I'm guessing
0:38
So the wind right now is coming pretty much out of our nose
0:43
so it looks like it's going to be a motor day. It's very cloudy
0:50
Very cloudy, so hopefully our batteries charge. We're saying rain later, so hopefully we get there in time to anchor
0:55
and before it starts raining because that sucks. Yes. There's crap on
1:02
Ha ha ha ha. We're not going into any other. I know
1:07
But, yeah, now I have to get back on a crab pod watch, so check in a little later
1:14
Okay, guys, we made it up here. Now we need a little beach therapy
1:19
This is where we spent her birthday, so it's a really nice beach
1:26
And right now it's looking a little crowded, but kind of see if we... There's..
1:30
two areas we can squeeze in there. So let's get going. Okay guys we're on the island
1:37
We're cool off, we'll get in the water but this camera can't get in the water
1:42
But our boat is all the way over there. Yeah, so... And we are here
1:51
It's a nice little island. And if we go this way, Coco is way over there
1:59
over there you see it right there but over here we have this little fire going on to
2:04
keep down the bugs there's a pit there's a where you can actually cook and then
2:10
there's a fire pit where you can actually just have a fire but this is a nice
2:16
little place and our neighbors turned on the music so I'm a show off my
2:23
babe says it's time to go from our beautiful destination it's it's it's
2:28
It's always five o'clock and there's no cums. Yes, they start coming out
2:34
I even lit a little fire. Yeah, I have bites all over my legs, so we got to go
2:41
Yeah. I got to go back to the boat. Yes, we do. But if you look at this beach, there's a little swing over there
2:52
This is Skow Island, and it's just beautiful. and there's our dog right there
3:01
yeah so we're going to get back to the boat but it was a
3:07
you're beating my bay's being eating I gotta go and this is what a southern wind does
3:14
coming down to ICW here's nice and rocky you're not as rocky
3:22
as the other day no We were in, what was that? Oh, we were in a racco point. Yeah
3:32
It was way rock here. Yeah, it was way rock here. But we're in the digging on this
3:42
Look at that. You can't see the size of them, but yeah
3:47
It was calm. You went there. We actually would have saved on her, but in the nose Yeah
3:57
They're eating up, so we have it. I don't like to eat enough
4:01
They're not in our boat. No, they're not on our boat. No, they're not on our boat
4:08
You're, but they're at the ice. Ha ha ha ha. Hey. Oh, this is fun
4:15
Ha ha ha ha. And our puppy she uh she She just waiting to get back to the first
4:28
And the boat's right there. Alright. Okay guys, we're heading to Titusville Marina
4:35
We're going to put a boat up for a few weeks, but we're going to take you more of what goes on into getting this boat ready to move
4:44
So, yay. So the first thing we do is we just turn on our windlass instruments autopilot
4:56
And that's pretty much it. If we're doing nighttime, Ryan, we do some lights over there, but we're daytime
5:04
Then down this hole over here, we have a battery on. I got to turn that on. That turns on our ignition
5:12
Yeah, it's way down there, so I got some dog hair down there, babe
5:17
I've already turned our water on for our engine, our Seacock for our engine, so that should be good to go
5:24
And now I'm my guy who has to remove the snubber so we can get the anchor up
5:31
Okay, now I have a route plan to chart in Argo, and see it's going all the way up to Tysville
5:38
It says it's going to be, we'll be there around two. 44 using about 3.7 gallons of gas or diesel
5:49
And we just start the engine. Got water coming out
6:01
For our anchor locker, we see a guy tied on the end of our chain
6:06
We got about 130 foot of chain out and tentful water. and our bridle's on
6:13
I'm gonna go ahead and show you how to take that off. Let me just untie them and get them wrapped in the right direction
6:20
Okay, so I have that untied. I've ran my road down through there, that's pain in the butt
6:27
And then if you see my harness, I've got it ran where the chain is
6:32
And as I pull it up, I pull it with my hand
6:36
So let me see if I can do that. And there we go
6:51
There we go. And now I take this off
7:01
So my wife does the rest of this because she tells me which way to steer the boat
7:07
the boat but our chain is a lot cleaner than was I did clean out our anchor lockers
7:13
so that looks a lot better I had some more way up here too because we need I caught
7:18
off about a hundred foot chain we need more way up here my wife is already taking off all
7:23
our covers she's up there pulling in the chain you need to change out one of them
7:31
rollers yeah I feel the boat moving forward I guess it's pretty strong straight
7:48
Yep. I feel it pulling down the front of the boat, babe
7:59
I feel it pulling down the front of the boat a little bit. Let's give it a little forward
8:07
I know I'm pushing the boat forward. Okay. Okay
8:30
See if it'll pull loose now. This rock nose a heck of anchor yeah There we go
8:51
There we go. It's full of mud. Yeah
9:07
Okay, our anchor alarm went off. And I've got our course started
9:19
So we'll see how we get there. It wasn't recording, but it sounded like we hit something from underneath
9:31
Our depth was showing 8.8, we're 6-4 draft. poor draft and yeah that that sounded alarming
9:42
So after we're underway, I like to tie on our anchor. Just use this bridle
9:56
And I'll just take a couple wraps around here. You can call that day
10:08
And that will keep our anchor from falling if something is to break
10:15
I hope nothing would break. Man, that's a lot of mud. We're just moving into our anchor, so I'm not going to wash that off
10:24
But here's our marker. I might have to go course correct. We're heading right towards it
10:30
Now I'm going to try to sail a little bit. I'm going to practice the head sale
10:34
so we can just save a little fuel. But I get this up
10:45
Okay, we now have our head cell up and it gave us about an extra 3.3 knots
10:54
We were doing two at idle, so move it a little faster, saving a little fuel
11:03
Give me a little fuel. It's a hybrid now. Okay, so as we're cruising, I'm always looking for crab pods, or first called them crack pipes, but have a pair of binoculars
11:16
And over there, I can't see it yet, but by that green marker there's a crab pod in the ICW
11:26
So, we'll of course avoid them. I don't know if you can see right there, but in crab pods
11:32
are on this side of that marker. Let's get closer. Let's see if we can see them
11:42
You can see the crab pods are on the other side of that channel marker
11:47
And speedboats, they're always going on the inside these channel markers. I'm surprised they don't pick up a lot of these crab pods
11:55
My babe is down there in their tiny kitchen where they're fixing chicken
12:00
Pretty out. Pretty out. She didn't feel like 80. Going under our first bridge to Tysville Marine
12:12
Oh, wow, we said first
12:25
Just practicing, babe
12:35
I'm not practicing, babe. I'm not practicing bumper cars, keep fingers off
12:45
So, my wife says I'm too close to the rail. Oh, no
12:55
Now I on autopilot again I don trust autopilot going underneath bridges
13:17
Right on Mary Allen, the other side of Cocoa Village across the bridge, that's a great little bar to get dinghy gas and cold beer
13:28
So it's right there. And then there's this little fisherman up in there
13:38
But here is the paddle wheel that goes up or down Indian River from Coco Village
13:45
And then this is Cocoa Village Marina. It's a... This is six foot, so our graft we can't get in there
13:57
there. Guys, we've got some rain coming so we bumped up the speed a little bit trying to
14:04
get to tie spill marina before that affects us too bad and you can hear my wife down there she's
14:13
cleaning the house but yeah it's getting a little chilly out here now
14:20
Oh was hot but we didn't get hit by the storm that was behind us but we ran to one
14:27
So, yeah, this is fun. But I guess I get to my stormy sailing merit badge
14:38
This is really confusing. I'm guessing you go through this one, but they're still building it. So..
14:50
That's all I got. I think them are gonna be the eventual pile of bear
14:57
carriers that keep you from hitting the bridge. So we have the sticker right there
15:02
It says 65 foot clearance. So this is where we're supposed to come through
15:09
25 mile an hour. So yeah, you're not gonna bottom out here
15:16
That's good. Danielle's just enjoying the ride. We're going down the ICW
15:30
Point my nose towards them channel markers Each one I see I do bear off a little bit from the red ones
15:40
Because we're going north on the ICW To give oncoming traffic some room
15:47
But that's how I stay in the channel And We've been fortunate in it
15:54
porch dent so far. Okay, we're at Titusville. That's a alley and I had my birthday on right there
16:04
Yeah, I got old and let me show you what we did here. We just see in reverse. So we dropped us out about
16:12
a hundredth of anchor. We got a loop there. I don't know how that's going to work. I'm going to be here a day
16:18
And then I have my brow tide there. And then on my chair, and then on my chest
16:24
I just wrapped it around that and it's not going anywhere so if it any of these
16:37
break the chain will grab on that and just flip off the power to my battery
16:42
I close the sea cock I turn off all that and we were done and I'll
16:52
Tomorrow I'll check the sea strainer and stuff. Thank you
