0:00
So, in this week's video, here's where
0:02
we start. That's all the crap out of my
0:05
lazarette where my uh diesel tank is.
0:10
And then this is down in the hole. And
0:12
that is my diesel tank.
0:15
And I got to vacuum the top of that.
0:17
Make sure it's clean because I'm going
0:18
to open that up and uh see how much
0:21
we have in the uh fuel tank. have a lot
0:24
of our friends that got stuck going to
0:27
Puerto Rico and their boat just stalls
0:30
out. So, don't want that. So, I now had
0:33
the tank the top of the tank vacuumed
0:35
off and I'm going to look and see if I
0:38
can see anything down there with this
0:42
Okay, that's what it's looking like down
0:44
there. I don't know if I can see
0:47
Let me turn off the light.
0:50
Okay. So, now I just have the uh my
0:53
spotlight on the top of the tank.
0:57
Doesn't look that bad.
0:59
Need to take a fuel sample there. I
1:02
moved the position of my light. Looks
1:05
like it's can see the bottom of the
1:06
tank. And it doesn't look like we have
1:10
Okay, guys. My diesel engine's sick.
1:13
It's got a microbial. It seems like it's
1:15
in its infasy stage. still yellow and
1:18
stringy. But if you got ideas on how I
1:21
can uh rectify this, hey, leave them in
1:24
the comments down below. Thank you very
1:28
Okay, guys. We're going to celebrate the
1:30

Yeah, my back is trying to go out,
1:39
but I'm trying to do the sneakers
1:43
and Oh, we have new neighbors. That's a
1:46
never That's a different looking kind of
1:48
catamaran. But uh yeah, we're hoping we
1:52
can bring in the New Year's and and
1:54
Danielle can uh crunch through this.
1:58
I don't know what happened.
2:00
Freaking almost 50. That's what
2:04
But yeah, so and plus you pack up food
2:09
That should have done it.
2:10
Yeah. But let's get into uh get into
2:13
town here. Get off this way.
2:38
Okay, guys. We made it to the north. My
2:40
babe right there. And uh we got good
2:44
food, got good friends, and uh yeah,
2:57
We are New Year's in UK.
3:01
And she is from the UK.
3:08
Okay, guys. around the aqua theory.
3:25
Leah knocked over one of the shots, but
3:28
we're still waiting for the countdown,
3:30
guys. There we go. We're doing UK cuz
3:35
Okay, guys. We're doing tequila. And the
3:45
We're almost at the rum.
3:48
Okay, guys. We made it to New Year's in
3:58
It was the worst countdown ever. That
4:13
Oh my god. Dominican Republic.
4:15
Yeah. Now all people go to bed.
4:22
I give the beer for the cooking guy, but
4:24
they give to the what?
4:51
Okay, guys. There's my babe right over
4:53
there. We're on the last part of our vet
4:56
visits. And there's our puppy. She keeps
4:59
jumping in out of the dinghy. But this
5:02
is the teeter test. So, we have to get
5:04
this. And the vet is actually coming out
5:07
to loop her on. So, that is amazing. So,
5:11
we're going to get this uh teeter test
5:12
done. Draw the blood. Bella, get in the
5:18
uh yeah, hopefully be set.
5:20
Get in the dingy, Bella. Again. Again.
5:26
okay. We're on shore.
5:29
Looks like our the locals dock is
5:34
Yeah, it's underwater there.
5:38
there's my babe. She's dressed for
5:46
Didn't bring her any.
5:47
So, her puppy out of shape.
5:51
She is very out of shape. She reminds me
5:54
when we were in Coco and we were going
5:56
to the vet there and she was just like
6:01
We should have brought the um the wagon.
6:04
The wagon. But yeah, you here you have
6:07
to be very careful. Keep your dog on a
6:09
leash because uh there's a lot of dogs
6:11
around here that aren't. So I'm going to
6:13
have to carry her once we get into town.
6:24
you definitely don't want to go through
6:27
Okay, guys, we're here and our puppy,
6:36
Blood taken out for a tenure test.
6:38
I felt like she thought we were trying
6:44
But yeah, this is a a little dog reserve
6:49
just outside of Lupron. I'm covered. I
6:52
got here all over the place.
6:53
Um over 100 rescue dogs.
6:58
Yeah. So they um they do all kinds of
7:01
stuff here. They do clinic stuff and
7:08
So, this is what this haven looks like
7:13
My huge establishment
7:17
Yeah, it's just uh they're they're doing
7:22
Hopefully now we can get you back in the
7:31
Two months. I was talking to the vet
7:36
like one to two months.
7:45
Okay, we paid. We're good. Now we have
7:52
hopefully we can go Puerto Rico.
7:54
You didn't get no receipts.
7:59
This is probably going to email us one
8:01
This is our third time with him.
8:03
Sorry. Sorry. stepped on the dog.
8:06
Run up on my bubbers.
8:12
Okay, guys. We just had a big rain here
8:15
in Loopron. And I'm going to show you
8:17
what this bay looks like. It is It is
8:24
And this is all coming from town. the
8:26
the actual uh police actually took a
8:30
video of just a wall of trash coming
8:36
And then you see over here, you can see
8:38
the trash in it in the wire. Somebody's
8:55
No, we're not floating, baby. But yeah,
8:58
that is nasty. You can see the the line
9:06
This is what my wife is talking about.
9:08
And we're not that close.
9:11
It's just the way we're turning. It's
9:12
just the way we're turn. But my gosh,
9:22
Just all kinds of trash and wood and
9:29
just a wall of trash.
9:32
Okay, guys. We made it through the
9:34
storm. I'm going to go see the front of
9:37
the boat. Should be clean. Let's go
9:40
Yep, the poop deck is clean.
9:44
And then you see trash still floating by
9:46
in this water right here. I got to go
9:49
check our neighbor's boat. He's left the
9:53
So, yeah, I met his dinghy and yeah,
9:56
it's full of water. It's uh
10:01
this is a lot of weight on that Hard,
10:03
but I think I'm going to get in the
10:04
boat, Michael. So, I'm going to get in
10:07
your boat. But, uh yeah, this is it's a
10:13
So, on the top side, this is what it
10:15
looks like. Yeah, this is a
10:23
Okay, wire's pissing out.
10:26
I'm going to get up here and uh move the
10:29
front of the dinghy up as soon as it
10:31
gets lighter. It's heavy.
10:34
Okay, Michael, I'm going to get off your
10:35
boat, but I retied your line to uh pull
10:38
the back of the dinghy down. I'll show
10:40
you what I did. So, here I've got it
10:43
tied to that cleat. have it pulling down
10:46
where you had it tied off, but I'm going
10:48
across this to lower the back because
10:52
all the water was sitting in the front
10:53
and I wanted to alleviate as much as
10:56
possible. But that's our solution. Yeah.
11:00
And to pull up the front even more, I
11:02
tied this onto your uh standing rigging
11:06
to pull up the nose of the dingy even
11:09
more. So, it's almost empty. I'm going
11:12
to get off your boat now. So, I'm
11:14
leaving Michael's boat. I'm going to
11:15
check on some other neighbors.
11:18
And uh look at this crash. So,
11:22
yeah, somebody uh coming past they hit
11:25
one of these logs in their dingy and uh
11:30
But yeah, there's trash just all around.
11:33
Those logs could be do some real damage
11:39
There's another one.
11:42
So, I'm now at the neighbor's boat and
11:44
uh yeah, same issue. Full of water. So,
11:49
I'm going to empty this one and then I'm
11:50
going to get back to my boat.
11:53
Okay, the plug is undone. It's draining
11:57
and my uh civic duty is done for the
12:00
day. I will go back to my lounge and
12:04
chillax and clean up my boat.
12:08
Okay, so the drain plug was clogged, so
12:11
I couldn't leave just yet. And then I
12:13
tied up the side of the ding because it
12:15
was also hanging. So the water was just
12:18
still hanging in there. So now I'm going
12:20
to get back to the boat.
12:23
I am standing because I am seeing lines
12:25
in the water and that would be hail on
12:28
our problem. So and we are going slow
12:33
because man, this is just nasty. That
12:37
just looks like diesel all in the line.
12:40
Just a whole line of just
12:46
So after the storm, it's date night. So
12:49
Whoa, I'm falling over.
12:51
It is date night. Yes.
12:53
I don't really consider this date. This
12:55
is not date clothes.
12:57
Yes, that looks dy. Let's zoom in.
13:01
I would not wear this on a date.
13:04
I can't I can't even see you.
13:10
Matt, it's yoga pants
13:11
right there. Turned it sideways.
13:14
Yeah, that's going to look terrible in
13:17
If I was at date night and I would be
13:18
doing a dress, but the bugs are going to
13:21
come out in about probably 10 minutes.
13:25
and then she's coming on date night
13:29
Yeah, just cuz uh they have to close up
13:33
and it gets warm in there.
13:35
Mhm. I don't want her to die.
13:39
So, there's my baby.
13:42
Now, we just going to jump in the dinghy
13:48
Well, that boat right there broke loose
13:51
and it's on the sailbo over there.
13:56
My wife is thinking it was back there.
13:58
All the tallers go back there cuz they
14:02
Oh, wow. What is going on over here?
14:07
there's all kinds of clos.
14:17
Yeah, it looks like it's a moring.
14:21
All kinds of close together, though.
14:27
Look at that bay right there. Looking
14:34
So, in our short, we had people comment
14:36
that most of that was driftwood, and no,
14:41
That was a lot of trash.
14:43
That's what they said.
14:46
So, it was a lot of trash that got
14:48
caught up in this. And uh yeah, the
14:52
there's still trash out here. So,
14:55
driftwood doesn't look like trash bags.
14:58
Sorry about y'all who are thinking that,
15:02
Oh, and there is a flipflop.
15:04
Oh, that's just dripping wood.
15:07
But yeah, there is a lot of trash that
15:10
got uh thrown in the bay and uh even uh
15:15
they were posted in town. It was walls
15:17
of trash going down the road. My wife uh
15:22
you've never been to the DR, then please
15:27
And you'll see in here we got some more
15:29
remnants of that driftwood
15:32
just all stuck in the trees in the
15:34
No, that one looks like a turquoise.
15:39
Okay, so we're coming by the park. They
15:41
still have the Christmas tree up.
15:47
Okay, guys, so this is the end of our
15:49
video. Um, yeah, making water. The bay
15:52
is a lot clearer now, so that's good.
15:56
um have a product ordered for that
15:58
diesel bug that's coming up and uh I'm
16:01
going to do a detailed uh u
16:04
demonstration on that including have a
16:07
pump and have uh some products to kill
16:10
dissolve and remove water from the tank.
16:14
But uh probably going to end up having
16:16
to pump the whole tank out and uh
16:19
dispose of that fuel cuz I just don't
16:21
want to chance it. But, uh, with the
16:23
fuel in there, I'm going to put the
16:24
product in there to help dissolve it
16:26
before I pump it out. So, if you like
