2:34
the whole
2:36
boat here we go we're getting through

2:50
yeah yeah that's wild right there you
2:53

2:55
hand and uh yeah it's a lot of fun look
2:59
at that look how rough that is oh my
3:03
gosh that eaty to lunch and now our
3:06
speed starting to pick up with
3:11
4.3 oh yeah feel the speed
3:17
baby trying to this is kind of my
3:21
stomach like this I don't seed yeah I'm
3:25
going to need some more coffee after
3:27
this I think I need to slow down on
3:31
my it's a little uny right now it is a
3:36
little bouny out
3:37
here but we are
3:40
out or almost out we still got current
3:43
affecting us but not as bad the boat
3:47
that passed us they've already turned so
3:49
they're heading they're
3:52
heading so we're out here on the big
3:54
blue and my baby's not loving it there's
3:58
my baby right there that's because it's
4:00
been rolling it's been a little rolling
4:04
a little shouting our boat like
4:07
this yeah you can't see it but yeah
4:11
there are some rollers out there but
4:13
they're uh they're coming us uh kind of
4:17
uh on our um Port aft and uh make it a
4:23
little uncomfortable but we're doing
4:26
about
4:27
about 5.6 6 to 6 knots and we're making
4:31
good time and we should be uh in Palm uh
4:36
Palm Beach by around four West Palm West
4:39
Palm
4:41
Beach so God speed and heading forward
4:45
oh godp speed is right there behind us
4:48
too
4:50
so but uh quink quinky dink I think
4:56
not kind that's mood right now
5:00
okay guys we put up our head sell and uh
5:04
now we're rolling upwards of 7.5
5:08
knots I've got the autopilot on and I'm
5:12
using
5:13
the wind direction to tram the or turn
5:17
the aut direct the
5:18
autopilot and it's uh increased our
5:21
speed we dropped to
5:23
RPM actually going faster and uh cuz it
5:27
is kind of windy out here but let me
5:29
show what we're looking at
5:31
here so we got
5:34
about 12 knots of
5:36
wind just with the head
5:40
cell and the engine's still running but
5:44
yeah it was up to 7 knots now it's not
5:49
my wife wasn't happy cuz we were healing
5:51
a little
5:53
bit okay so we are moving a little bit
5:56
closer into Shore the Gulf stream out
6:00
there is robbing us of about a knot of
6:04
speed and we don't want
6:07
that so we're just now getting back up
6:10
into 5 six knots where we were in four
6:14
five
6:16
knots but I'm not going to get too close
6:18
to
6:20
shore but uh that's our sail flapping a
6:23
little bit cuz I'm we're at uh like
6:27
25° which is a little bit for our head
6:30
cell but we're making it and there's my
6:33
baby she's been watching Christmas
6:35
movies on the trip
6:40
try but the uh seas are not as wavy so
6:44
she's a lot more comfortable that she
6:46
was this
6:47
morning yeah that was that was not
6:51
fun that was a her first time being out
6:55
on Ocean now I didn't like that
7:00
so we've got
7:02
about 3 hours until we hit
7:06
uh uh West Palm so I'm going have to
7:10
come over a little bit or tighten myself
7:12
something I have to do
7:14
something that guy is
7:17
flying he just came right on
7:21
there right close to us getting closer
7:25
to Miami I guess that's what we get
7:28
[Music]
7:30
okay guys so we took down the head cell
7:33
the uh wind is actually on our bow right
7:37
now and my babe's over here we're almost
7:41
there she's
7:43
happier not really we're not really
7:46
actually there almost there yeah we are
7:49
we got like 2 hours uh yeah
7:53
about it's almost there in boat talk
7:56
well before our longest passages were
8:00
4 hours uh six we never had a six hour
8:04
never to
8:06
[Music]
8:08
tville that was about 5 hours that's cuz
8:10
we were beaten against wind yeah so yeah
8:13
this is our hurricane no this has been 8
8:17
hours so this is our
8:19
longest yeah he woke me up and then and
8:22
then like started the
8:24
Murs P pulled up the anchor I told them
8:27
just waking up at 6:00 a.m. so that I
8:29
can wake my brain I'm not a good morning
8:32
person and he didn't and I was
8:35
disoriented for the longest
8:38
time but she got orientated and uh the
8:41
anchor was uh stuck in some mud so had
8:45
to motor that off but we're here it up
8:49
what I also could I It came it came all
8:53
the way up and then it wouldn't pull the
8:54
anchor up so what happened
8:57
there I told you about it and he went up
9:00
there and did some I just put it back
9:01
down for up again yeah I was afraid to
9:04
put it back down cuz last time I did
9:05
that it went all the way down the bottom
9:08
yeah the clutch uh was loose and so I
9:11
tighten out I tried I was I was like
9:15
okay this what he did last time and it
9:16
still wasn't working so so yep but not a
9:21
good uh boat person she's a great boat
9:25
person I don't know much about it
9:29
well we have uh about less than an hour
9:32
until we uh enter Palm Beach port and uh
9:38
you see back there know if you can see
9:40
it there's Palm Beach right there
9:42
there's all the
9:44
buildings uh we're
9:46
making decent time and uh yeah we're
9:50
over uh really close to the shore here
9:54
was spinning around here because uh that
9:58
Gulf Stream out there is wicked so it's
10:02
it'll rob you of a a n or two of
10:06
speed so what do you
10:08
think got the buildings right
10:14
there yeah we're get in the territory
10:16
that I would never want
10:18
to
10:20
yeah to uh to
10:24
City yeah this where people go to
10:27
Vacation like that
10:30
[Music]
10:33
wouldn't even want to know how much one
10:35
of those condos cost no
10:38
yeah would even tell me it's a million
10:41
dollar or more for a little tiny
10:44
condo that's just
10:47
dumb
10:49
dumb I just love how clear that water is
10:52
getting though out
10:54
here but that's another thing about the
10:56
condos over there that really loud
11:00
whatever they're working
11:02
on sounds like a
11:04
jackhammer okay guys here's a port we
11:07
got about one knot current coming
11:10
in and uh that's not near what we had
11:12
coming out of the other one so shouldn't
11:15
be as uh
11:17
fun okay guys so we made it to Palm
11:20
Springs uh West Palm West Palm sorry not
11:23
pal spring no and uh yeah uh that was
11:27
exhausting long trip but uh and I'm not
11:30
even in
11:31
Bahamas but uh this is very busy here
11:33
very busy but the dog finally got to go
11:36
to the deck oh it was cool in the world
11:39
I kept trying to walk her up there but
11:40
she didn't she was have no part in it it
11:43
was a little she hel her be the entire
11:45
time and this is the first time this
11:47
girl was ever on the ATAC and so well so
11:50
do you me too yes but uh yeah I've been
11:53
on the Atlantic L well I'm talking in
11:56
our own boat small boat oh well we went
12:01
um uh what's that that Sky thingy you
12:05
know where the boat takes you out and
12:06
then you're parachuting we did that on
12:09
the Atlantic in Fort Lauderdale yeah so
12:11
I've been on the Atlantic I just haven't
12:13
been on it on this boat and she had to
12:14
go out there on a jet ski which she
12:16
didn't enjoy that was Cancun oh Cancun
12:19
getting everything mixed up but uh yeah
12:22
we're here we're settling in and our
12:24
life is
12:25
good I'm ready to rest for a couple days
12:30
that was hard yeah that was that was
12:34
that's I guess preparing me for Bahamas
12:37
Crossing and uh maybe uh while we're
12:41
here Trump May invite us to morgo for
12:45
apparently it's no right yeah some po
12:48
ass Margo Largo's down
12:53
there yeah but our dingy is too slow
12:56
else we get on the dingy and go like
12:58
wave at him and
12:59
arrested wait just going
13:03
past but
13:06
yeah okay we're over here in
13:10
uh West pal Beach and uh they're having
13:13
a little SBO race wife's getting some
13:16
marit out
13:19
here but uh yeah we've been here a
13:22
little bit and
13:25
uh few days yeah if you if you come in
13:28
here uh don't speed don't wake I mean
13:31
cuz uh they do enforce that heavily my
13:35
wife has been
13:36
watching yeah she said they've been
13:38
pulling over denies and everything
13:40
denies that barely even do
13:43
anything but uh yeah it's a very calm
13:46
Anchorage because the wakes are
13:50
controlled but
13:52
uh I think I don't think we can make a
13:54
wake with our boat and our
13:57
dingy I don't think so
14:00
but we're going to be getting out of
14:01
here tomorrow uh going to get diesel
14:04
water and uh yeah go ah heading down to
14:08
uh well we're going to make a stop
14:09
halfway in between Fort Lauderdale and
14:12
then uh we're thinking about maybe
14:15
anchoring in Lake syvia if there's room
14:18
so it's a little ways down there but
14:21
it's uh supposedly a good Anchorage and
14:23
little tight again too but I think we
14:25
can squeeze in
14:31
okay we're getting out West Palm Beach
14:33
and uh heading to the halfway point on
14:35
Fort lale bab's right there she got the
14:38
anchor up and uh hopefully the bridges
14:41
can hear us it's like our radio hasn't
14:43
been uh broadcasting that far I had to
14:48
look into that cuz uh we had some
14:50
problems coming down here too with the
14:52
other boats hearing us but then some
14:54
boats heard us just fine and we were
14:55
able to talk back and forth kind of
14:58
weird but uh look into that and uh here
15:02
we
15:03
go okay guys these uh draw Bridges can
15:06
become a pain in the butt the baby right
15:09
there she's uh yeah she's sitting over
15:13
here in a basically idle waiting for the
15:17
dang bridge to
15:18
open and uh we almost made it but uh
15:23
they they probably a minute shot they
15:25
didn't feel like open the game so
15:29
is what
15:32
is there's our puppy right
15:37
there so we've been going through
15:39
Bridges all day and that is very
15:43
interesting it's our seven straw Bridge
15:46
yeah but uh we're going I think we have
15:50
uh maybe a couple more and I can't wait
15:53

17:19
know we're just cruising here got us uh
17:24
34 minutes to the next Bridge it opens
17:26
on the hour and half hour so so may have
17:30
to slow down a little bit
17:32
more but
17:34
uh yeah it's been my wife says I like
17:38
fix
17:41
Bridges so what do you think
17:44

17:48
today these Bridges they kick your ass
17:51
man
17:53
yeah they're just so many of them and
17:56
you got to wait on them and
18:00
yeah so half our time we've been
18:02
spinning around in
18:06
circles yeah which do you like better
18:08
the alac with the the the waves or
18:11
here well I mean this is more calmer mhm
18:15
minus the the big boats like there's one
18:18
that's
18:19
coming yeah we already had one that was
18:22
he was he literally did it and woke us
18:26
and the boat behind us
18:29
stopped behind the last sailboat turned
18:32
around and did it
18:35
again like they just thought their cop
18:37
doesn't stink or something yeah I mean
18:40
and they literally looked at us with a
18:43
smirk I mean I don't know what's wrong
18:46
with some of the South here in Florida
18:49
but you all need to get over yourself
18:50

18:55
yourself some of us don't want
18:57

20:08
smallest we've ever been in with this
20:10
many boats yeah with this many boats
20:12
