0:01
okay guys so we went and got fuel my baby here she handled all the dock lines
0:06
and stuff like that like a pro we only bounced off the dock once it was my worst docking yet but didn't video it it
0:13
was that's cuz there was a a boat in the yeah there was Bo the way but the current was pushing me
0:19
around and uh I tapped my anchor on the uh Pyon and then I couldn't get the back
0:26
of my boat to swing around so it was kind of a nice there but we got her done
0:32
held uh when did we fill up babe last on
0:38
diesel I think I'm in August so August between August and now we bur 25 gallons
0:45
of fuel and uh it's been sunny and bright here we haven't turned our generator on in 5 days long longer so
0:55
our batteries are it's about one our batteries are about 50% we've been doing good on Power and uh
1:03
yeah I'm going to have to eventually yeah I got to fix that big hole look at my ghetto job but yeah I I eventually
1:11
have to do a video on how exactly we put this together and you know while the pieces are and you know all that crap
1:19
but uh we got some uh guests coming over so Danielle's got to get in there and do
1:25
dishes and vacuum pink jobs right
1:30
she's over there giggling but uh yeah because I was working on Plumbing I
1:36
would much rather do vacuuming than work on Plumbing okay guys so we're getting
1:42
ready for Thanksgiving and the turkey doesn't quite fit in a crock pot but once it
1:50
defrosts it should uh all squish in there really good and we could put it in the oven it does fit but we don't have a
1:56
pan for it so it'd be a mess but also our our last night we're hanging out
2:01
with uh fresh to Salty awesome little channel uh awesome couple great guys and
2:08
uh had a lot of fun there's my babe she's uh just waking up in the
2:14
morning and I think we're going to go for a walk on this island later with our puppy Okay so we're getting ready to go
2:21
on a little Adventure going to take the puppy with us we're going to see what's
2:27
around here I think there's a little dock in that way and probably get to the
2:32
the ocean going that way and uh yeah it would be a little bit of fun get off the boat for a
2:41
bit and we're off she's
2:48
barking oh yeah we got that stain on our boat right there on the side all that AC
2:54
mhm no AC out here uh let here we
3:03
go and right there is where you can resume making Wes the people are speeding all through
3:13
here it's kind of annoying good thing is there smaller boats it's been mainly one
3:18
boat being driven by some yeah he is not respectful about
3:25
nothing got Daddy's Money there yeah it comes quite close to our boat coming
3:31
through there too so let tell my wife we can anchor right here it's really big and through
3:38
me and I reminded him this is where it says resum normal go fast
3:45
[Music] operations we ain't doing the
3:52
icw done that and we're going see that little pole over there that's where we're heading to so
4:00
it should be a little dock over there so it says we'll
4:06
see and we're back to a slow speed sign we've never really gone
4:11
fast let's see if there's a little dock over
4:17
there not seeing one
4:30
[Music] it may be past that that where that tree sticks out over
4:40
[Music] there there's a little Trail right there
4:47
it looks like it's got a little orange marker on
4:53
it that look like a tril that looks like a big cobwebby
4:59
spidery mosquito mess in there then there's some metal poles or
5:06
something right over here behind you I don't know what they are
5:12
[Music]
5:19
marking that little orange marker may be the
5:27
trail that looks look like that look doesn't look like anything be
5:34
hard to get off the [Music]
5:40

5:50
grass like I want to touch some grass so which way do we go babe that
5:57

6:03
uh we'll go this way why is there a m in there cuz

6:16
side so we're on a little Jungle Cruise out here got fish jumping out my wife's
6:23
like I hope that doesn't jump in the boat but yeah and there's my baby she's like
6:29
this is feels like a a a rainforest jungle type area but there's pine
6:37
trees yeah wow it's windy back there
6:43
[Music] m got some boats out over here they look
6:50
really close to the shore we saw one it looked like it was
6:56
lifted out of the water the other day
7:04
that has to be buggy I don't see a wonder it
7:18
out this go out anyway yeah this goes uh back to where
7:25
we're anchored at you want the anchor in here no I am my anchor in
7:32

7:48
[Music] deep no we we couldn't even see these boats these are just people out here
7:55
hiding [Music]
8:08
yeah I got some stuff stored

9:03
are and that's a boat that looks a little bit uh little bit stuck there I
9:11
didn't make it zoom in there he is so he's uh he could probably throw an
9:18
anchor there and pull himself off but
9:23
uh yeah he take a little work he's not too hard to ground pretty
9:30
hard so we found this Beast right past them
9:35

9:48
over there but I was talking to my wife I said well we could let's do Zoom
9:54
talking my wife and saying we could uh anchor right over here see all this space for
10:00

10:29
times boy they have the red sticker of
10:37
death I don't know they're not grounded they probably abandoned the boat haven't been there in a
10:43
while there's our beach there's a beach right there oh let's go to that beach that looks more open yeah look look at
10:50
that Beach right there now that looks like some prime dingy real estate right
10:57
there that's weird we have a shipping container back here there's definitely
11:03
some animal footprints oh yeah wild beast I Ain walking do
11:18
that looks like uh there's some sunflowers over there or something I probably got the weed
11:26
wrong but yeah this is what our dog needs
11:32
is some true uh soil to sniff around onose
11:39
up here we would never find no this is too
11:44
big my babe says this is kind of boring over here and the smell of weeds
11:50
is smells like poop this is probably a a huge dog
11:57
hangout so and she's walking around me but yeah
12:03
we're going to get back and see what else we can find out here so we're off again yeah that's thec this is the icw
12:10
so we don't want to go out here there's some big boat traffic comeing through
12:16
[Music] here I think this is yeah this is the
12:21
icw yep there's there's the bridge so turning
12:28
around oh uh no we didn't have to go into that to get here we turned right before
12:34
it it actually looks like somebody was trying to clear out the
12:40
island whole shipping container on there I wonder if uh that probably somebody
12:46
owns it in they want somebody was trying to on it I don't know to move a whole
12:54
shipping container that's uh that's interesting that boat's been there a minute look at it on the you can even
13:01
see the
13:08
rugger oh yeah and and a wind generator somebody's home R the
13:16
shore and there's our boat way back
13:21
there yeah we're pretty far from the shore it on the boat it looks like I'm right up on it I know I told you I'm
13:28
like we're not
13:35
but yeah in this uh morning A lot of times you'll have to tie up to other boats cuz they're pretty damn full in
13:43
here I've only seen a few that are open yeah and they fill up
13:49
quick okay so we are over there we went around this entire Island right here and
13:56
back around and now we're going to go down this way this should maybe uh we can get off and
14:03
walk over to the [Music]
14:09
ocean no no this is uh you drive through all these uh rich houses and there's a
14:15
diggy dock I mean there's supposed to be a dock over there but yeah this is shallow right here really
14:23
shallow in fact I don't know what that is over there but know that's not land but yeah I can
14:31
definitely see the bottom here look at
14:37
that reminds me of Tampa Bay mhm Clear Water
14:44
yeah y even in Hudson it's it's this shallow
14:50
out there but there was a tornado came through here didn't affect any of the
14:57
boats but it got some of these houses a reing a few of
15:05
them guess it's a nice neighborhood to live in that's that tiny little house right
15:16
there real estate in Florida I swear for yeah look how shallow that is over there
15:22
I can see the brown we moved here 8 years ago real estate was fine we were
15:28
able to find a nice big house 230,000 yeah it was now we can't even
15:35
afford to buy it back if we want not for what we sold it
15:40
[Music] for so the tide going through here is only about uh a foot and a half so yeah
15:48
these boats they can come and go almost anytime they want except maybe this I
15:54
don't know if he's coming in and going anytime he wants but
15:59
[Music] well he's not as deep as we are but he's
16:06
probably pretty deep and then they want you to go slow
16:12
through here of course this all is a no wake
16:20
zone what happed to that boat right there
16:28
[Music] yeah it was a house
16:35
Bow Man their dock is destroyed too I think the tornado
16:44
got yeah hurricane melting look at that look at that roof over there the other way all the shingles off
16:52
of it and then the house next to it has a tarp over the
16:57
roof yeah [Music]
17:02
yeah get a number on this neighborhood over here that house are up there and
17:08
their shingles are all damaged I think we may have to go under
17:13
there too I don't know what over there maybe not what do you think go over there
17:23
too yeah okay we're about to the end of this
17:32
now and the ocean should be cuz you can hear the road from here so it should be
17:37
right over there but I don't know if there's any way we can tie
17:42
up I haven't see anywhere yet priv
17:59
that dog looks inviting right there yeah but I don't see anything on
18:05
it that says no I don't
18:11
either so we reached the end of the line here I don't see any place to tie
18:17
up so I guess we'll just turn
18:23
around here we goig alligator
18:29
go got to go no alligators I don't want
18:36
to it's hungry hungry
18:41
Gators get in here and snag Bell out so just on the other side of that
18:48
road is the beach and we can't get
18:54
there we can walk there that's a long walk the other day yeah it is a good
19:01
block bab do you want to go check out where that bridge
19:13
is looks like there's some boats down there already maybe it goes
19:21
around we going to hit on this bridge
19:37
if the tide was up a little bit yeah we probably yeah probably would had to
19:46
duck see this [Music] ISAT I don't know there's a boat ramp
19:52
right there and uh I think they use that for
20:02
kayaks this is like uh we have like a little off-road vehicle is what we use
20:08
for our transportation there must be an outlet or something because that boat not any
20:17
no that's a pretty big boat right there three engines are the joys of a
20:26
small boat you get places where most boats have never gone
20:32
before I don't know if this is the icw out here I don't think
20:41
so but it's pretty
20:52
open a lot open space out here [Music]
21:00
wow guys this right here is an island we went all the way around
21:06
this there is no road going into this place oh wait that bridge when went
21:12
under yeah that's a road but road yeah that was a road we went under it's like only one car get
21:20
yeah this is an island right here all these houses are on this own own little
21:27
island wow cuz our boat is right behind that Mangrove right
21:32
there yeah getting pretty shallow right here yeah there was a boat came through
21:38
here yeah we're throwing up debris off the bottom there was a boat came over
21:43
here and they got stuck I don't know why you'd bring a boat over
21:49
here but yeah this is this is shallow well we we're in a
21:54
boat but it's a dingy it's different [Music]
22:00
Yeah it's gotten deeper [Music] again down there pH in I thought it flew
22:09
off okay so we're not going to stop at the boat we're going to go to there's supposed to be a little Memorial or
22:15
Veterans Park over there I'm go ahead that way no where the yeah the um brid
22:22
is yeah going out yes going to be a good
22:27
long haul [Music] here's a
22:32
boat yeah the only reason why we have Spenders on is cuz we had to get fuel
22:38
and water yesterday at the dock so other than that we don't need Spenders on our
22:47
Roat so we found a uh little park over here Beach are dingy and uh not much
22:57
around here but we can get to that thing off the boat and she can get some Adventure
23:05
Time so this is the river house and uh it's available for rent no public
23:12
restrooms but there's dog park right over here I guess a nice little place to
23:19
stop in you're dingy well we're at Riverside Cafe and I
23:24
just spilled my beer but a l fish over there don't get people in I'm not I'm getting the fish look at him look at him
23:31
jumping back there but we just buy some burgers little refreshment to go okay so
23:37
we're heading back home and our dog thinks she can take on a raw Waller two raw wallers
23:44
so
23:50
yeah it's is where we're heading right here and it's a race we got this guy
23:55
we're racing and you know I don't know if win
24:00
or not but it's a no wake zone so this is about fast as we can go well the bat
24:07
will go a little faster but not much so we made it back we were out
24:13
there for about 2 and 1 half hours
24:19
yeah we now know what all the way down there looks like around that
24:25
Island around that Island somewhere over there went all the way to the bridge got some
24:31
lunch and all the way back here yeah nice fun yeah nice fun trip but yeah
24:37
time to eat okay so here's our Burgers they always kind of jippy on fries but
24:42
there's no May on this as well packets but yeah it's all right
24:47
it's it's pretty juicy and it's got cheese on it that'll be fine we're ready to Chow
24:54
Down okay guys it's turkey time yeah our kitchen's a bit of a mess but
25:01
she's cutting up the butter and that goes under the skin and this year we're
25:07
actually going to do it in our crock pot and not in the oven I I don't have a pan
25:12
for the oven yes so I didn't feel like buying one cuz then I'd have to store it
25:19
somewhere and you probably hear the generator on it's been a week over a week since we ran it but we have about
25:27
35 % battery and uh it's sunny outside but we're going to just charge up that battery a bit because we're going to be
25:33
running that crock pile day and I got to do a bit of video editing but here is
25:39
our turkey them are clean dishes by the way and look at that nice 10 10 lb
25:46
turkey with I'm going to make our own butter ball for
25:52
cheap n it tastes better it does taste better and y'all guys y'all can stick
25:57
stuff in this stuff in these turkeys just cook it like you cook a
26:02
turkey with stuffing that yeah I mean you might have to cook it maybe 30 45 minutes longer mhm but
26:13
and that's account for the stuffing and I normally do stuffing but um we didn't get back to the store so I didn't get
26:20
any stuffing and uh so we're just going to have turkey and mashed potatoes and
26:27
turkey gravy probably some green beans or something it's just
26:32
me and Chris so our first Thanksgiving alone it is
26:38
actually it is it's kind of sad yeah it is but I'll show you how that turkey
26:43
turns out and uh y'all stay tuned squishing it down it
26:52
does fit though in the crock poot yeah kind of just looks like a chicken I have never cooked a turkey
26:59
this small before I think the smallest I've ever cooked was a 13 pounder yeah I
27:04
usually cook 20 Pounders but you see right there she's she's getting the skin right cuz that's where she stuffs all
27:10
the butter yeah you got to loosen that from there it's like a cartilage type
27:17
stuff and you kind of just you want to make it like a pocket so you can get that butter in there
27:29
chunks of butter and start pluging them in there it melts and makes that taste
27:34
very yummy yeah it gets down into the the
27:41
um the meat and plus this is a in the crockpet anyway so it's going to be sitting in a
27:47
lot of juices too oh yeah turkey this probably going to be it's not going to
27:53
be it's I don't think it's going to have crispy skin on it though like normal um when you do it in the oven but that's
27:59
all right we didn't really have a choice I didn't feel like going out and buying a pan so this is how we're doing it I
28:07
can't wait for that turkey gravy though and I actually probably wouldn't have made a turkey but since um they were 49
28:14
cents a pound so I got this 10 lb turkey for under $5 yeah you know and this is
28:21
probably going to feed us for probably a couple
28:26
days good Bella is getting her Thanksgiving look at her there yep I'm going to cut it
28:35
it's fork in there and just chwy it like that no that's that's too big that's the
28:42
heart you probably cut it in here yeah this is the
28:48
liver liver and heart yum it's good for a dog right I think so
28:56
well she's excited and here is our crockpot turkey you see
29:02
it's bowling down there not done no not done it's got some separation there but
29:09
it smells good it's not going to have the crispy
29:15
skin there's the the Bella giblets my wife is not a fan of giblets
29:22
in her gravy my dad would be horrified
29:29
every year he used to make his giblet gravy we always hated when he made it gravy cuz he made giblet gay and I hate
29:40
giblets I'm sure Bella doesn't see she's going to load it up
29:47
load up some Bella treats right
29:52
there try not to make a two of M don't like cleaning it up again
29:59
so we can save some for later there's no seasonings on this or
30:05
anything like that you don't want to do that for your
30:10
dogs you want me to say that we can well later could be later
30:16
today I don't know
30:23
oh yeah to me you want your drink you
30:28
dinner oh yeah oh that's just so mean here you go
30:37
didn't even wait like no oh there she
30:48
goes okay so my babes going to add some ters to that might as well use while
30:54
we're using the power cook the ters as well normally I do um mashed potatoes
31:00
but I'm kind of low on potatoes right now and we're not getting to the groc store until next week so I thought why
31:07
not just stick a couple of potatoes in there mhm while this is finishing cooking and we have some uh and we mash
31:14
them up on our plate and then put some gravy over it cuz I am going to make some gravy oh yeah but that's really
31:20
smelling good I was showing that earlier but it's not going to have
31:26
that but it's it's sitting in a bunch of liquid actually right now oh yeah look at that I mean it doesn't look like like
31:35
you know when you do a turkey in an oven but it's definitely a
31:42
turkey I'm just stucking in there so they can cook
31:49
yeah yeah on a sale boat you have to I guess make compromise us we have power
31:55
constraints right now we're running Ice maker the crockpot and I make a
32:03
video yeah so we're kind of doing a lot right now with our power and we don't have the
32:10
generator on so actually we're we're doing pretty good yeah we doing pretty good I'll probably have to run tonight
32:18
yeah I'm going to be able to need to get grease out of here of course that's going to make the gravy but this is all
32:24
done guys the potatoes are done it's done um the turkey's done oh look at
32:30
that look it's just kind of falling apart oh yeah I just want to taste it
32:35
tell me how it tast are done look at that mhm
32:46
see it's very moist oh good it's you tast it's falling apart you taste the
32:51
butter I got to turn this off you taste the butter in it yeah I can taste the butter on it uh warm or
32:58
