so I think it's been since mention the
obey I've really mentioned what's
happening it's kind of sort of been
taking videos but I guess we'll start
with where we are and then I'll circle
back around or in so piss hole right now
I just landed a little bit ago freaking
beautiful
two nights ago was man Chanel bag and we
ended up making a call to the Coast
Guard it appears that the boat had
drifted from its anchor a pretty big
calf and ended up kissing another cat
right in front of us it was a little
scared but I appointment with he'll half
hour ordeal sorted that out didn't have
any effect on us that was a rough night
I don't up being a rough night we had a
southerly bit of southerly current a
northerly wind so the boat was just
sideways to the conditions and I must
have been out for five times that night
just check in the morning ball making
sure we were actually still on we made
it through and then we ended up doing a
quick sale too
trellis bay on be violence and that was
the first time we really sailed 15 to 20
knots stephine reach just just flying
through a channel is fantastic we made
that trip in an hour just over an hour
felt Bay was fantastic hey
it's unfair to be open atras oh yes
bridge is now well stock
no the fridge is well stocked
we now have eyes for plenty of ice
drinks
for me more cheese Reese threat we stuck
at the right way and so purrs hole here
run in cheese and chips and dip macaroni
pro tip of right way is out of ice go to
voyage yacht charters they will a that
will happily accept four dollars for a
bag of ice yes what was it may be a mere
eight pounds let's give it a try Cheers
oh yes if they what it is what do we
have what do we have we've got some rum
and a coke excellent I have stole his
in ginger ale
yeah olean ginger ale oh I'm not to jump
in the water and I haven't washed my
hair and I think a couple of days so
maybe I should do the same ever say
haven't shaved in a couple days either
nope I cut that so you want to do a
quick recap of what we did today
successes and failures ffs I think it
should be the eighth wonder of the world
well first failure was that is I
miscalculated how far it was from
trellis bay to the fast no big deal I
thought it was three miles an hour ended
up being six as stupid oversight on my
part couple silly you know
but we rolled up to a red hair yeah we
rolled up to red flag so so we couldn't
hit the mooring ball which actually
ended up being a success if you ask me
because we went into spanish town board
up on a more secure vault to didn't have
to pay for it free ball free ball ding
eat right into the dinghy dock and taxi
a guy at us if we need a stripper great
way to go right yep took us an awesome
back road way to the best so if you
can't get in that's the way to go i was
actually cooler than then more and up
because we more up everywhere we go so
it was a nice little departure from what
we we normally are doing full bail
friendly and even if you if you want the
local experience you want the local
experience but disclaimer we did not go
there it was closed actually we didn't
have time to go there yes apparently he
has a vacation home on the island from
the top of the bats looking north yep so
I'm we digging it on back to the weeding
it on back to the yacht here that we're
on Wow
concerned event 30 we did skip over the
best it's really mind-boggling how big
and round them rocks are and how they
laid in there and yet roll for all we
know yeah didn't let her out of whether
in or out of the video is in my opinion
don't really none of the videos from the
BB i do what it is justice just probably
some of the most beautiful
yeah waters crystal-clear
look out perfectly cerulean blue
it is it is going around I got a big
much snorkeling around because you bang
up your leg and a couple shoots great a
sharp the barnacles to articles yeah
that's where there's the particles will
start so then I'd like to hear in your
words how the sale went coming from
Virgin Gorda all the way here to Soper's
hole which was 21 and a half miles in
three hours we did pretty good so let's
start there we did pretty good sale
almost as fast we're motoring are good
yeah I'd say the things the same speed
yeah seven not average yeah between 7am
yeah we have to pick up search again
we wanted to leave the mooring ball
under sail I'm gonna get the sail not to
catch on lazy jacks yeah lazy jacks are
giving me a lot of problems yeah maybe
it's a short coming on me when to go put
the sails up put the main up put the
main over yep and then realize whoops
well we we were stuck on a lazy jag
again we were stuck on the lazy jack
again so we were going to attack to get
the sail off the lazy jack and in doing
so we managed to not a figure eight knot
or any a tailing on yep on the end of
the port main sheet right over here
solid red robe so instead we had the
everything wide open so it got stuck
straight up all the way through i'll
show you they're supposed to go through
this panel all the way up it got sucked
up and through the panel and so the boom
was basically 90 degrees to the boat and
we had to sort of improvised
I was a little panicked nausea oh
thank you that's up that's not that's
not the way in Ford WTF that's the what
the WTF acted quickly we got the
boom back to where should a man has the
sale down real quick manish p is a
little tiny broke that we fishing happen
to have on the boat using a
disappearance of two but instead of
humans real Andy Andy jimmied it back
through put a weird shove it so in other
words skipper went ahead and went been a
skipper yeah we got it we got a result
very Jeff to get the sails back in a
proper way this time I'll not for
security and we sail there is lovely
please add it quickly yeah this place is
very unique i'm going to say first place
we finish it
protection because it's such a little
hole and if you look over there to the
windward side which happens to be coming
right through that Valley breeze here is
just probably 10 knots on sustained
sustained definitely yeah so you have a
beautiful breeze they know linklater
liner the boats not bitching and even
yeah it's pretty glassy any glass he's
not the right word but it's flat man
chenille I I think we landed on man

Coast Guard mansion e I slip topside
