>> Nicely clean our laundry.
6:48
>> You think it's clean? Bucket washing.
6:53
>> Well, this is dirty laundry anyway, but
6:56
Well, I think it's more because um our
6:59
hatches are always open and there's been
7:02
a lot of dirt circling around in the bay
7:04
and it just blows right in because I've
7:07
been having to clean dirt off of walls.
7:10
>> It's bad. It's dirty.
7:13
It's dirty. I went wrong.
7:14

>> I have a shirt on.
9:34
>> I mean, you have a shirt on. Okay, guys.
9:36
So, took showers. Water was warm until
9:40
it wasn't for me. My wife got all the
9:48
>> So, yeah. But warm showers until they
9:51
weren't. Water pressure. Um, good until
9:55
>> better on the boat.
9:56
>> Better on the boat. Well, I have a
9:58
bigger pump, but uh yeah, this was a
10:00
nice day. And, uh, look, this laundry,
10:08
>> So, we're going to get back to the boat.
10:10
But, uh, yeah. Uh was a interesting
10:15
stay. A lot of partying happened last
10:21
>> So in between Porto Platada and Luperon
10:26
is where you get stop for your liquor
10:28
and gas. Gas is pretty cheap here, but
10:30
liquor this is the cheapest place I've
10:32
seen. So, and it's right in the middle.
10:36
Yeah. Right when the uh before you get
10:37
to the where it comes to two-lane road
10:40
or after whichever way you're going.
10:43
Okay. Got my alcohol on. They're they're
10:46
moving it for me. But Vodka and Ron.
10:52
yeah. Place to come.
10:56
Yeah. But the inventory in here is
11:00
awesome. Then a slight reconstruction.
11:04
Okay, we're back to the boat and uh
11:07
everything is right in the world. Have a
11:10
>> It's always nice to come home, even if
11:12
it's a floating home.
11:14
>> you know, it's got my own stuff, my own
11:16
bed, my own couch, my pillow,
11:20
>> and a brand new coffee maker from Black
11:25
>> I I fought this. I was like, why do we
11:27
need another coffee maker? I was just
11:35
>> Oh, our percolator. I actually thought
11:36
it made really good coffee, but Chris
11:39
said that he was tired of burning his
11:41
>> yeah, cuz I only made one cup. So,
11:44
>> fine. So, this was
11:48
2,000 pesos. That was
11:55
>> Not bad for a Black & Decker.
11:56
>> Yeah. We cost more to ship one, a
11:58
cheaper one from Amazon. So it would
12:00
>> Yeah, this is a great deal.
12:02
>> Maybe this one won't rust. The other one
12:05
>> It was a cheap one from Amazon.
12:08
>> but it wasn't that cheap. I think we
12:10
spent like $25 on it.
12:12
>> We did. So, this is about the same
12:14
price. With inflation, we're doing
12:20
>> Okay. So, I've got the coffee maker
12:22
installed. This was a hard install.
12:26
>> Hey, it's really white. is going to be
12:30
>> But my wife was asking, you know,
12:33
hopefully we can bring coffee back to
12:34
the US cuz we're want to bring some of
12:36
the Dominican coffee to our family.
12:38
>> Yeah. Two to my sister and two to my mom
12:40
and dad because last time when we were
12:42
Honduras, they we brought some back and
12:45
they really liked it. So
12:47
>> So we're going to crank this on and uh
12:50
see if we can maybe make some coffee.
12:52
Right now I'm going to sterilize it. So
12:54
we'll see if the power button turns on.
12:57
Oh yeah, it's on. Yeah, there you can
12:59
see it. And let's see if it makes hot
13:03
>> Feel like one of them YouTube channels
13:05
just making uh hot water except this is
13:08
not. This is clear, not brown.
13:18
This is supposed to have a whirlpool
13:20
effect up here. Yeah, there it goes.
13:26
And there it comes. Hot water. Yay.
13:31
Well, there's a new coffee maker. It's
13:37
this is how I make coffee. I don't I'm
13:39
not pouring and doing all that I'm
13:41
just putting some grains in there,
13:46
>> Okay, guys. Guess what we did this
13:50
We moved. It's like a whole new zip code
13:55
Yeah, you're on that mooring, which is a
13:57
great moing. It's not that about that.
13:59
It's about the fact that um if you're
14:04
not going to be on your boat,
14:06
you probably I don't know. It's just
14:09
we've been hit before.
14:13
>> So this is uh right at the front. So we
14:17
shouldn't uh be hit anymore
14:19
>> now. We've watched this more involved
14:21
>> Yeah. There's been people stay they they
14:24
they come on it they leave for months on
14:27
in even during bad storms we've barely
14:31
seen these boats move over here and
14:33
we're like okay we're on the wrong side
14:35
we need to be over there and now
14:40
hopefully it's not buggier though I I
14:42
have a feeling we're going to be having
14:44
a lot more bugs over there closer to the
14:46
mangroves over here.
14:47
>> Yeah. Well let me show you our new zip
14:50
So, you come out of the boat and we have
14:53
this boat running right here. This is uh
14:56
we were kind of blocking his way. He
14:57
kind of honked at us, but uh yeah, we
15:00
come out here and yeah, that's where we
15:04
were right there and we moved to here.
15:09
Not a far move, but uh yeah, it's a a
15:14
move all the same and uh different
15:22
but still the same distance to the dock.
15:24
We're further to uh Los, but we wave
15:28
goodbye to the front porch light. See
15:30
you later. This is our flight. The kids
15:33
are grown, the house is too quiet. Yeah,
15:35
empty neester now. Ready to ride. Traded
15:38
the lawnmower for a salty breeze. Found
15:41
a new home. Between the palms of the
15:43
trees as Chris and Daniel charting a new
15:46
course from the comfort zone to the
15:48
boundless source. No schedules, no rush,
15:50
just the sun in the sky. Got a budget to
15:53
balance. Keep the dreams flying high.
15:54
From the dark side markets to the open,
15:56
blue wide. Every new flavor we can't be
16:04
for that's the base. Blue water's
16:06
calling moving at our own pace. We
16:08
discover the world one wave at a time.
16:10
Ventures the rhythm.
