0:01
Told you guys I'm coming back. Well,
0:03
back and uh back to boat projects. So, I
0:08
have to mount our inverter.
0:11
Our AC has a leak and we have diesel
0:15
bug. So, the diesel bug is going to be a
0:17
two-part series because um it takes a
0:21
while to combat diesel bug. But we're
0:24
first going to get into
0:28
um fixing the AC and mounting the uh
0:31
inverter so we can sail and the inverter
0:33
not fall over on passage.
0:37
So the cool thing about having a massive
0:39
battery capacity is you can run the AC
0:41
on battery. We're at 54% right there.
0:45
But let's come over here
0:52
and it's dripping. And you can see the
0:53
drip right there. That's salt wire. But
0:56
that allows us to start. That's a soft
0:58
start right there. So, we can start up
1:00
our uh AC. So, to fix this, just need a
1:05
screwdriver. And uh may have to cut off
1:10
Okay. And since it's uh winter time in
1:13
the DR and uh I'm not sweating as bad
1:15
and it's starting to rain, we're not
1:17
making solar. So, I'm going to turn this
1:18
thing off cuz uh our power sucks. But
1:23
yeah, we're drizzling a little bit,
1:27
Uh but always open close windows all the
1:38
There we go. See how that light adjust?
1:44
Okay, let's see if I can see what's
1:47
going on here. Pull this off.
1:52
That was actually kind of loose.
1:55
Clamp this thing down. I'm also going to
1:58
rinse all this off cuz salt wire is not
2:18
Okay, I'm going see if that leaks.
2:40
And yeah, I should probably have two of
2:42
these on there. Let's see if that works.
2:52
Would you look at that? No salt water
2:57
Dilute the salt water.
3:05
Good thing everything goes in the
3:09
Okay, so that project's finished.
3:12
Now have to mount this.
3:15
And I'm going to mount this. That's our
3:17
subwoofer. I'm going to put it back
3:19
there. Move the subwoofer right there.
3:24
these little boards like this to mount
3:27
it up. And hopefully that will hold.
3:31
Okay, so we had to close up the boat. So
3:33
I got the AC running cuz it's hot in
3:35
here. But I'll show you what we're
3:38
So, here's our AC, and you'll see with
3:41
our generator running, we're pulling
3:43
still in 34 amps. And that is with a 2.5
3:47
kW generator. So, it's pretty awesome.
3:51
So, now to mount the inverter, all I
3:53
have is this. So, I have one I can cut
3:56
to be this length as well. Let me show
3:59
you what I'm going to try to do. So,
4:01
down here, I'm going to basically put
4:04
this in right here. and uh mount it to
4:09
the bottom here. Probably screw in
4:14
mount this guy on it. And that goes into
4:18
the back of the inverter to hold on.
4:24
should should hold it up. See? Right
4:26
here. There we go. Well, right there.
4:31
Okay, guys. I got the ember mounted.
4:34
It's not going anywhere.
4:38
It uh two little You see right there?
4:41
That's all it's holding it. And uh
4:45
screws all the way through. Yeah. So,
4:48
there we go. That is done. Now I can
4:52
reroute my subwoofer wire. So, it goes
4:56
And that was not as easy as I thought it
4:58
would be. I thought it'd be like a 30
5:00
minute job, but uh let's see. Where is
5:03
my Oh, here it is. my cutting device.
5:07
So, this ate up a lot of my time. And uh
5:11
yeah, because I didn't want to dig out
5:12
uh I got a jigsaw and power saw buried.
5:17
I don't want to dig it out. So, this is
5:19
what I have available.
5:21
Okay, guys. Well, we're about to go pour
5:23
a plow, but look, the Navy got stuck on
5:26
the uh grounded right there.
5:29
That's uh they're not going to get that
5:31
off. Not at this point of tide.
5:35
But yeah, we're going to Port my babe
5:38
right there. We're going to watch the
5:41
Trying to keep our dinghy from not
5:43
dying. Seems like our dingy's running a
5:46
Yeah, let's get there so we don't have
5:51
So, I'm going to get there.
5:54
Okay, guys. So, we're in Lasellos and uh
5:58
she's looking for a car. Uh we get it
6:00
from Nino. So about 1,800 pesos.
6:05
That is about how many dollars.
6:11
So $30 for a day. Not bad.
6:18
So Franklin's coming. Not bl bad place.
6:21
Not bad place to wait for a car, baby.
6:25
And uh yeah, our puppy. She still can't
6:29
walk. better. Definitely walking better.
6:35
Yes. And she tried to walk down the
6:38
Yeah, she did. And then it was came
6:43
Okay, we made the apartment or the
6:55
closet. We're literally going to be here
6:57
for overnight, so we're not going to
7:01
Well, the showers for sure.
7:09
yeah. That would be so nice to be here
7:13
Beach. Look at the beach right there.
7:19
I was very tempted to like
7:22
And there's our puppy.
7:29
I was so tempted to do another a few
7:36
I think it's the other stairs.
7:40
Oh, that's where you go
7:48
Yeah, it was unlocked.
7:49
Oh, okay. We're coming.
7:52
That's the easy way in.
7:56
She's not doing very well.
8:04
All right, so it's basic. It's 67 a
8:12
Best place on earth. But hey, I totally
8:15
would have stayed here for like a few
8:16
days just to go sit at that beach over
8:20
This is warm. It's all I have. Yeah,
8:24
Yeah. There's our puppy.
8:28
And her paws are still flowing over.
8:33
You need to take a nappy. Let me get you
8:35
some dentures thingies.
8:38
So, this is where we are. We're on the
8:40
third floor. Our car is way down there,
8:43
and I have to go get [ __ ]
8:49
yeah, it's still a little third world,
8:53
but uh this is uh Ringo area.
9:02
It's supposed to be a uh um
9:05
a uh what's that thing called? A sports
9:12
Okay, so we're just looking at uh the
9:14
souvenirs for our friends and uh yeah,
9:18
there a lot of stuff in here,
9:20
baby. Hit the liquor over here.
9:30
Yeah, that's liquor, baby.
9:33
it's very very very very
9:37
Ask your place if they have it. They do.
9:43
I'm looking for a tank top.
9:49
They don't accept broken dollars here.
9:52
A friend had a broken dollar. It had a
9:54
little rip in it. No bueno.
9:55
I know. That's crazy.
10:00
600 pesos about $10.
10:04
Yeah. There's my babe. She said tourist
10:12
You want to go look at it real quick?
10:13
We are hitting Senior Rocks.
10:18
This is where we're hitting the Super
10:29
Okay, guys. We are at Senior Rocks Bar
10:31
and Grill. My babe. Check out them onion
10:46
I can't eat a lot of them because
10:51
Yeah, she would she would denounce that.
10:54
But yeah, look at that car in the
10:55
background. That's awesome. So, we're
10:57
doing the Super Bowl here. There's my
11:03
Okay, my babe is texting her dad.
11:09
Tom Brady right there.
11:11
I know my dad. Okay, so he probably has.
11:16
No, he doesn't have any salmon. Not
11:18
anymore. But he probably has some kind
11:25
Pepsi. Sorry, Pepsi. Or maybe even a
11:34
Okay, guys. So, we're on the halftime
11:36
show and this is where we are out here
11:39
and that's what we're watching our
11:45
Daniel's dad's got to be excited.
11:51
I haven't heard from him. This is He's
11:58
So, the Super Bowl is over.
12:01
They already kind of knew they won for
12:08
We know the big one.
12:12
So, we're in McDonald's. It's the day
12:14
after and we just ordered with one of
12:16
these kiosks, coffee and stuff cuz our
12:18
Airbnb couldn't figure out how to light
12:20
the stove. No cigarette lighter. But, uh
12:23
yeah, uh our friends were scared to
12:27
death of the ride home at 12 at midnight
12:29
after the Super Bowl. They had never
12:32
experienced a um traffic situation like
12:37
that of the DR. So yeah, it was it was
12:40
very interesting. But yeah, I got to get
12:44
this breakfast and then we're going to
12:47
Okay, I'm sitting here waiting for my
12:48
wife and I decided to check them coffees
12:50
out. And uh guys, I got uh yep, our co
12:55
So here is our coffee. Yeah,
13:00
I didn't drink any of that either.
13:02
That's just what I get.
13:06
That seems like about the proper gringo
13:09
amount, right? So, I think we're good. I
13:13
get slightly caffeinated. May have to
13:15
make more coffee on the boat.
13:19
So, I'm off to help a friend. My wife
13:23
says that this is like a unpaid job,
13:27
but uh trying to help him clean up his
13:29
boat and stuff. But yesterday we were
13:32
doing uh um the uh fuel system and uh
13:38
now he's installing a hydraulic pump,
13:40
but we have to prime the fuel system.
13:43
So, I have to do this on my boat cuz I'm
13:46
still fighting that diesel bug. But, uh,
13:49
yeah, I'm going to see how to prime a
13:52
diesel cuz I've only worked on gas
13:56
Okay. So, we're now trying to prime the
13:59
diesel engine. Did you get it sucked
14:07
No. Still a bunch of [ __ ] water in
14:13
okay. So, we have diesel coming in. He's
14:17
priming her up. That's a lot better than
14:19
sucking it off. We took that hose line
14:21
off and nothing but water came out of
14:23
that hose. Well, water diesel flavored
14:28
Okay, guys. So, our friend Steven right
14:31
back there, the German, but uh they have
14:34
to be uh wary because there's a ship
14:37
that got stuck in the harbor on the reef
14:40
and they have cables going across. So,
14:42
the Navy said they go at their own risk,
14:45
but uh I'm hoping they have safe
14:50
Okay, guys. I was up here cleaning the
14:52
deck, and I was going to show me
14:53
cleaning the deck, but I've showed that
14:55
before. But, uh what works really great
14:58
for rust, plus it's about to rain. I
15:00
didn't want to get rained on too much,
15:02
is this. And the reason I'm doing it
15:04
right before rainstorm
15:07
is because needs a freshwater rinse. And
15:11
uh I'm lacking fresh water out here.
15:15
Yeah, just total absence of it unless I
15:17
make it, which I don't want to make
15:20
washing the deck water
15:23
cuz that cost uh generator which is
15:25
running right now. But now I'm we got
15:28
some friends coming over. So I'm going
15:30
to go inside and show you what
15:35
There's my beautiful bride. And what is
15:37
she cooking? What is she making?
15:46
our puppy can now walk. Still limping,
15:53
It's not what we're making for us.
15:56
making uh pulled pork sandwiches. I
16:00
mean, pulled beef sandwiches.
16:03
Yeah. Some yumminess going on in here.
16:06
And she made her own uh barbecue sauce
16:08
which we have on our website.
16:11
And that's not on there.
16:14
Oh, this is Well, she has a barbecue
16:17
sauce on there, but this is a
16:19
I didn't have all the ingredients, so I
16:20
had to improvise with another one.
16:24
Actually, I had to cook it
16:28
to get it like really really deep and
16:30
Yeah. And Yeah. She wears army shirts,
16:33
but we have multiple army shirts, so
16:34
she's not wearing the same one over and
16:42
there's our standing dog. We call her
16:44
standing puppy now. That's her Indian
16:46
name, standing puppy.
16:56
Breakfast of champions right here.
16:59
Come on, Limpy. Come on, Limpy.
17:09
she will have diarrhea.
17:10
Okay, so we were just talking about beef
17:12
and we can't give it to our dog cuz
17:15
it's got spices on it.
17:16
Yeah, it'll make her
17:17
unless you want to just keep cleaning up
17:22
But yeah, we're going to end the video
17:23
here, guys. Uh love you. Got uh Brun's
17:28
coming over tonight. Going to have some
17:29
fun. the the same guy was helping him on
17:31
his boat, which uh he has bigger
17:35
doing all this this yummy food.
17:40
Hopefully it doesn't just rain cuz we're
17:45
be an inside party. A very snug one.
17:49
But yeah, our friends coming over for a
17:52
snug snuggle party. And uh yeah, we
17:57
That does sound gross. but we didn't get
17:59
his boat fixed. Uh he's having some
18:01
issues priming. I think there's a
18:03
problem with the fuel pump. So, he's
18:05
looking into that. He's he's reached out
18:07
to uh I guess one of his friends to
18:12
diagnose the fuel pump. But, uh yeah,
18:15
y'all like, subscribe, and please take
18:21
We wave goodbye to the front porch
18:23
light. Say, "See you later. This is our
18:25
flight. The kids are grown. The house is
18:28
too quiet. Yeah, empty neester now ready
18:30
to ride. Traded the lawnmower for a salt
18:34
breeze. Found a new home. Between the
18:36
palms of the trees as Chris and Daniel
18:38
charting a new course from the comfort
18:40
zone to the boundless source. No
18:43
schedules, no rush, just the sun in the
18:45
sky. Got a budget to balance. Keep the
18:47
dreams flying high. From the dark side
18:49
markets to the open blue wide. Every new
