- [Riley] You tuned in last time with us in Nevis
where we got a little taste of the town,
hiked a volcano.
(money call)
Before departing to Sintnaut,
an island just north of our current location.
We were up with the birds
so that I could have another shot at a wahoo along the way.
Unfortunately my slip tip failed me
which you will hear a lot about very soon.
It's been years since we were last
here on old La Vaga and clearly a lot has changed.
We couldn't help but to feel sad for the people living here
whose home and businesses were destroyed
by the hurricane last year.
That was a big cateran.
And for all the salties whose ocean adventures
were put on hold, for some what looks like will be forever.
Hurricane Irma was the strongest storm on record to exist
on the open Atlantic region.
The highest wind speed recorded was 285 kilometres per hour
and the total damage costing around 64 billion dollars.
(sombre indie music)
So here's the famous Simpson Bridge.
- [Riley] Oh I don't like that.
It should be available to everyone you bastards.
(giggles)
Two things which happened here,
you might know that we dragged anchor over here,
you might not know that it was the first night
mom was on board
and that's why we got the big anchor.
- [Alana] What's going on Riley?
- Well, I'm pretty sick of dragging anchor.
- [Alana] So you bought yourself a?
- They had a 45 tonne bloody,
hunk of metal, this shit caves in.
(laughter)
Yeah I think we did say that
but we might not have placed enough emphasis on the fact
that it was pretty horrific, we dragged anchor
and it ended up on the rocks over there,
didn't film anything and we were quite embarrassed.
Because of that we had to repair the rudder
and I decided that it would be a good idea
to save like 200 euro to just pull the rudder out
to save like 200 euro to just pull the rudder out
in Simpson Bay over here.
- [Alana] Anchored.
- Right, lost on anchor, rather than
just going over the lift
and paying someone to pull us out of the water.
And I took Alana and I about four days,
And I took Alana and I about four days,
it was a (barge horn)
nightmare.
It was so frustrating, and annoying
and such a nightmare that we didn't film any of it,
and we were pretty--
- [Alana] I couldn't.
- We were pretty embarrassed.
- [Alana] I tried to film but Riley
would've beat my head off.
- Yeah, like it was a bad time.
(aeroplane whirring)
- Pretty sure that's what Simpson Bay is famous for,
the airport that everyone goes and stands on the beach,
and gets blown away.
(aeroplane whirring)
(rhythmic chill instrumental)
It really hurt.
I don't know, it just felt like sandpaper
all over my face and body,
I couldn't do anything, it was horrible,
I don't recommend going there.
(giggles)
(waves crashing)
Good morning my boys.
- Hello!
- [Alana] Alright Riley so, are you alright
to talk about the speargun now?
- Yes, I guess.
So what happens is, you shoot,
this part goes through the fish,
and then there's what's called a slip tip on the other end
so then if the spear goes back through,
the tip will hand out the other side of the fish
and there's a line that goes from that through here,
and what happened was, which really, really,
shouldn't happen, is the
knot on the end pulled through.
Which is just, obscene, it's unheard of.
It just should never, ever happen.
But I do think that I've been unlucky.
But that's the latest in a series of problems.
I would like to just be living off fish
for the entire time we're in the Caribbean,
and the local ray fish, they've always got ciguatera,
so, and there's less of them,
those big pelagic fish,
they're the ones that we want.
- [Alana] Okay, what are you doing this morning?
- Checking in to the country,
buying a slip tip, a knife sharpener.
- [Alana] Alright, well I'm gonna stay here, so,
I'm gonna give you the camera, can I trust you with it?
- Yeah.
Hey everyone, we're gonna go into town.
(Alana giggles)
(motor whirring)
(background talking)
(background talking)
Immigration check in complete.
We're no longer illegal immigrants,
like we usually are.
Just going to see Dominic who has the fitting for the boom,
the gooseneck, so I'm gonna go and meet him
on the other side of the island.
I've stopped halfway there because I need
to check my navigation.
- [Alana] The boys have gone to town this morning.
And I'm gonna surprise them tonight
with some chocolate mouse,
so I thought I'd share the recipe with ya.
I don't know exact measurements, I kind of just guess,
but if you're into experimenting,
I would love for you to experiment with me
in the most nonsexual way.
So you're going to need some vanilla essence,
some cacao powder,
some coconut milk or cream,
some agave nectar, or you can use honey as a sweetener.
And a ripe avocado.
Now this coconut milk's light,
so I'm gonna use the whole thing,
but if you've got some like thick cram,
I would probably maybe use half.
Oh my gosh, oh my gosh what am I doing here,
that was the worst pour.
You wanna plunk the whole thing in there,
one whole avocado.
Mmm.
And then you're gonna want probably
three big tablespoons of cacao.
three big tablespoons of cacao.
Now because the coconut cream's already pretty sweet,
you don't need much of another sweetener,
but, I'm gonna give a squirt of agave.
Little pour of vanilla essence.
(blender whirring)
so you wanna get it to this consistency.
Where it's like, definitely not runny,
but you can imagine it turning into mouse
and I'm totally freaked it and got it right.
So this is what it needs to look like.
(slurps)
Make sure to make yours bigger.
Place them in the fridge.
And I don't know how long they take to set,
but my guess is maybe an hour, maybe more.
- God I really hate pointing a camera at myself in public.
I gotta go find this bloke
and then fix my spear gun.
So I'm walking around to try and find a restaurant
with my speargun.
(speaking in foreign language)
(rattling)
- [Dominic] What up, what up.
- So we got the spare parts,
that was Dominic,
he's a French dude, he lives here,
and Otre Mur sent over the gooseneck with him.
So I've organised a rendezvous,
or they did over here at a restaurant,
and then it turns out he was a spear-o
so he took me to one of the other places,
they didn't have a slip tip,
then he informed me that the place
in town here wouldn't have a slip tip.
But we go up there, we got the spare parts
so that's the main thing,
we got the gooseneck for the boom,
which is definitely what I came here for.
One thing that I have noticed
since being back in the Caribbean,
where I would've ordinarily walked around
for an entire day up like, hot roads
and windless streets and arrive at a destination
only to be told that the shop was shut, or,
it just feels like we're working smarter
rather than harder.
By meeting people and interacting with them
they'll like drive you around to get shit done
or just have a bit of local knowledge
and you'll get stuff done in like a tenth of the time.
Certainly today I went and had lunch with those guys
and then they drive me around for a bit,
and I just got two jobs done in about two seconds,
which I know damn well would've taken me
weeks, potentially months to get that part
sent over in particular.
And, yeah, I'm pretty bloody happy about it.
So there you go, there's a very small,
uninteresting, reasonably inconsequential
piece of information which you can do nothing with.
(wind rustling)
- We've just tied off to the jetty
and we're gonna have a swim here on the nice white
sandy beach because it is the most humid day
(horn honks)
and we're all dying on the boat.
Something smells really nice,
have you eaten Riley?
- [Riley] Yep.
- Damn it.
Feels like I'm on holiday.
Do you feel like you're on holiday?
It must be the umbrella.
Hey cutie.
(Alana laughs)
Aww.
You're really cute,
go find your mum.
(waves crashing)
- Merci mademoiselle.
- [Alana] I got you a long island.
- A long island ice tea.
- [Alana] Yep.
Enjoy it.
- I will.
This is the first time I have
like drunk cocktails on a beach in two years,
no one will believe that, but that is.
- [Alana] We should do this more often.
(chuckles)
- Oh this amazing.
- [Alana] Very relaxing.
- It's bit, it's pretty unadventurous,
in a bit of a tourist trap.
- [Alana] Oh well, something different.
- When in Rome.
- [Alana] Cheers.
- My gooseneck is broken
for those of you that don't know,
and we got sent here the wrong part
the first time and now we've got the right part
and now we're gonna go and instal it on the boom.
- [Alana] Well, alright, and we've got Stephen here to help
cause I can't pick up the boom by myself.
(Rocky theme instrumental)
- [Riley] Two, three.
(Rocky theme instrumental)
(grunt)
- Whilst the boys have been working
I have been rehearsing a gooseneck dance
that will be performed to you
when the boys finish the task.
Boom lifted, pulled back,
hopefully this is it.
Too much space, really?
Yes!
(Rocky theme instrumental)
Looking good fellas.
(Rock theme song)
- [Riley] Pull on the red one.
- I couldn't come up with a goose dance
but I made rap for you instead
so I'm about to sing that to you.
Alright, you ready for it.
(homemade beatbox)
I didn't know a gooseneck was a part of a boat
until I ran over a float and I choked,
jibed and I broke my boat
I'm so recrued,
but hey, it's okay, it's all done
and we can go sailing today and next time
I'll tighten that line I promise,
you can count on me and if I'm being honest
I don't like geese cause this one time I got chased
and I tripped over and I was faced with a goose
wanted to see how I tasted.
So I'm scared of geese.
(laughing)
Couldn't come up with a good enough chorus,
that's all I've got for you,
I don't like geese,
and I'm glad we don't have to talk about
the gooseneck anymore because it's done.
I was in a really weird mood
and it's convinced all of us to go
and pick up the laundry from Shirmpy's.
So that's what we're doing this afternoon.
We're all going in a bit of a boat trip.
It's actually a fair way,
we have to go under two bridges to get there?
It's on the other side of the island.
(chill rock instrumental)
(laughter)
(chill rock instrumental)
What's the story of the ship?
- So, three years ago a deathly pray cyclone,
there's this old Norwegian dude
that just used to run like a bits and bobs shop out of it.
This is what it used to look like.
- [Alana] Even before the hurricane?
- Yeah, way before the hurricane
and there was a dude on here living on here
like something out of Lord of the Rings
selling bits and bobs that you would barter for
for your yacht, and it was really funny.
for your yacht, and it was really funny.
And he was a funny, nice dude.
He just had like every old nut and every old bolt
from Imperial and metric
from Imperial and metric
and he just had every weird little bit of metal stuff
that you needed and it was also a bit rusty.
(chill guitar instrumental)
- [Shop Owner] Hi how you doing?
- I see Alana, that's ours there.
(chill guitar music)
(incoherent crosstalk)
(chill guitar music)
(incoherent crosstalk)
- See you Shrimpy. - [Alana] Chao.
Success.
(chuckles)
Like children.
I made a homemade chocolate as well to plunk in there.
Thanks for watching.
Tune in next week for one of the most bestest,
most awesome sails we've had in a very long time
as we head north to the British island of Anguilla.
Life was peachy until a squadrant of seagulls
engaged our drone in a dog fight to the death.
We've lost the drone and it's in the water somewhere
and we're trying to find it.
- [Riley] Okay we're about to commence
operation zero chance.
(bleep)
(laughter)
- Just a bit of housekeeping from us,
we wanted to call out some Patrons names today
because we're going to be doing another Patreon meetup
in the Bahamas end of August.
- Which is gonna be incredible.
I'm really looking forward to that.
- Yeah.
- The last few that we've done
has been absolutely amazing.
We've got the correct format,
and more importantly the people that we've met
have just been.
- Yeah.
- Like we're really, truly blessed.
- Very interesting.
- Yeah.
- Everyone was super interesting,
easy to get along with, helpful.
- We basically love you guys and we wanna meet
more of you whenever we can.
So the next time we're available
is the end of August.
And yeah we hope you guys can make it
so we've draw out two Patrons name.
This guy's from Germany.
- [Computer] Yorg Von Hauser.
- Yorg Von Hauser.
- Congratulations, thank you so much for the support,
send us an email if you think you can make it end of August.
If not please send us an email anyways
cause we'd love to hear from you.
- And Craig Margettes.
So if you'd like to join us for a week of
sailing, drinking, wine, having fun, hanging out,
hopefully Alana will break out the guitar,
she's been doing more of that lately.
Learning to free dive, all of that cool stuff.
There's still time if you'd like to join up,
we're gonna be calling out another
10-20 names, however many there needs to be
to get a full house over in the Bahamas for late August.
- So congratulations Yorg and Craig.
I'll be checking my emails.
Alright, that's all from us you guys,
I'm gonna say goodbye,
please give the video a like if you liked it.
You know, we really appreciate it when you guys do that.
And also if you haven't heard my cover song
Devil Like Me, that's up on my Band Camp,
so you guys can listen to that,
the links in the description below.
Have a listen, see if you like it,
and it'd be really cool to see you guys
listening to it in your boat
or your car or where else are people hanging out?
Houses, that sort of thing.
(giggles)
Lots of love from us, thanks
