past ten years and now if we embark on our greatest adventure of all come join us as we take to the high seas and travel the world with the newest member of our crew if you enjoy Dulles videos please subscribe it's a great way to support our channel excuse me I thought something was wrong sorry good news okay good good morning is Wow well like that one other morning we had yeah I'm all crazy [Music] oh man it's one of those morning's again check it out holy how clear it is [Music] here you can see the bottom of the ocean you can see the bottom of where we are look at it you can see our anchor chain [Music] it feels like we're anchored in a swimming pool [Music] but you want to do today probably be outside it's gonna be really hot yeah we should go swimming yeah there's a reef over here that Jerry told us about that it's just at the end of that point over there we drew a fight in the dinghy it's got a nice chloral you go check that out yeah also Grayson bill said they would be happy to babysit so you could go swimming what's going on out here are we going sailing I wanted to make this shade for you and then Leggett or me and then uh get while you're swimming nothing's freaking hot today yeah I took our one of the poles from the up front and I got the cover I'm just gonna rig it up and perfect my work yeah Jimmy bring you some snacks why are you going ten feet over there dinghy ten don't camp in that way you can swim well I watch the Nugget and I can swim or you watch the Nugget we should bring some Nugget entertainment go camping nugget let's go yeah this requires a little bit more to go you just used to chuck our fins and in the dinging we're off and now it's like it takes us about an hour to get ready now but that's okay [Music] yeah so it's a little harder for us to go snorkeling together these days yeah this is actually like my first ever snorkel for this season I mean I've been there for a while but it's just kind of hardened I don't like to go myself I'm a bit of a chicken like that I like to start with other people luckily we have our [Music] [Music] [Music] okay do wider peekaboo that's a new one have you seen cheese anything really cool coral baby dogs baby ducks baby dogs I'm gonna go see if I can get us some more seafood okay sorry to leave you with a crying baby while I go out playing in the water [Music] life is okay life is just fine huh [Music] Espie calicos gasoline from New York have fun see you later the waters are health in these parts and abiding by the rules helps to make sure it stays that way while lobster is in season our fishing permit allows us to collect up to ten lobsters per boat as long as they meet the minimum tail size of five and a half inches we're also allowed to gather Caunt from the sea floor and up to 20 fish of various species and since we're only two people and a baby a few of each goes a long way for us [Music] I got a grouper not one grouper all right now we got dinner hey did you get anything yeah I got the two lobster two bugs and two gripper one group huh yes this right here is enough to feed us for at least a week there we go seafood basket okay I just said that in the culvert point one good is it low tide or is it gonna get lower so he's gonna get lower yeah please hit the bottom okay we gotta move our house yeah yeah we're like the resting on the bottom right now yeah it's not a nice feeling every time it goes on I say bump and the bow this goes Duke we hit the bottom how much are we now point three point a movie that better yeah point five no okay we are doing the grouper but I shot along with some rice and pressed out this nice fillets a lot even use one of our precious limes do you think I think it's lime worthy soy sauce are you crazy yeah oh the lime I forgot the lime that's the missing ingredient yeah welcome welcome to my hole where I will be working for the next few days this is the port laser at on Dulles and there's quite a bit of room in here once you get in here I've got everything cleared out and this is where I'm gonna be mounting the majority of the heater stuff I think it's a pretty good spot it's sort of out of the way and we won't lose that much storage so I've got the heater on the base it's gonna fit over there between the water maker in these controls I've got to work on making sure I've the appropriate clearance exhaust but I think it's a pretty good location because then I can route the exhaust right out the side of the boat right there this is the thermal expansion tank so this guy holds to have gallons of the coolant antifreeze mixture water and propylene glycol I think it is and this provides head pressure to the pump so it has to actually be the highest point in the system so the heater boilers there and then I'm gonna put the pump somewhere like down by the floor maybe then I'm gonna mount this up here which will put it you know foot and a half almost two feet above the pump and provided with some head pressure so yeah that's my my plan I'm just gonna start installing things and follow the diagram and see how it goes it's gonna be a lot of work you might be wondering why I'm installing a heater when it's about 8,000 degrees in the boat well I've been hot for the better part of a decade and now Kaz and I have talked about sailing bellows out of the tropics and exploring a bit of the higher latitudes and to do that we need a heater so after a bit of research I decided the right thing to do would be in to install a diesel-powered hydronic boiler the idea is to burn diesel fuel to heat water which is then pumped around the boat through hoses to radiators with little fans on them which then keeps the cabins nice and cozy for us right in there you can't be claustrophobic when you work it's like like a lady in a coffin it's like boat yoga I found a good place for this yeah it's just really hard to work with one arm while holding it up while keeping it straight Sierra was a few years older she could stand in there and healthy okay when the diesel is burned that produces a lot of heat but it also produces exhaust instead of having a chimney here we're gonna have the heater exhaust be piped right out of the side of the boat the temperatures of the exhaust tubing can be excess of 800 degrees Fahrenheit so I need to use a special high-temperature cement to join the pipe pieces together yeah we've got assistance today from boat neighbor Jerry okay we're gonna put a hole in the boat which is generally something you try to avoid it's got to be big enough to put this through hole this is the through hole for the boat so I've got to make a hole that's big enough for this to go through then there's a high temperature silicone gasket that goes on here and then this sits inside and this is a water stopper so if a wave happens to come in this bottom tube goes all the way up here so it gives us some opportunity for the either the exhaust if it's running to force it out or the water to drain out before it how do you feel about well this is a little soft that I bought it just happens to be exactly the right size I'll probably drill a hole from the outside because I have it marked on the inside I'll drill a hole outside with this is my centering hole and then I'll go to the outside and I'll drill in so if there's any splinters they'll both be on the inside of the boat and on the outside so that's the exciting task of the day Wow have you ever done this before like through the hole inside of the wall not on purpose no accidentally one time when I first bought bellows I was trying to mount something down under the nav station yeah and I was hauled out and I went to put his screwed and I wouldn't right through decided about like total newbie mistake was like I screw this far for me yep okay so I'm gonna do this before I think about it too much ready no no turning back now [Music] [Music] that's not good the last remaining task was to use high-temperature rubber adhesive to seal the exhaust through hole to the boat all I del is tried did you know that for about the same price as a cup of coffee you can join our inner circle which gives you lots of whole benefits like early access to our video releases private membership to our tribal council you can chat with the crew and also invitations for like sailing and diving and crew opportunities and all sorts of cool stuff yeah so head to patreon.com forward fast SP bellows for more information and we love you that's it back to the show [Music] [Applause] [Music] so he's taking a little midday stroll to the other side of the island and it's nice and breezy today so should be good series chillin make sure she doesn't get Sun in her face I was actually gonna ask you guys some questions though cuz I was reading the news last night I saw the u.s. top motion audio check audio check audio check I was doing some internet cruising last night and saw that the u.s. is now the world leader in cases and the most likely time scenario for things started to turn around is still in the months but most likely longer so I mean I think were you gonna try to stay here as long as you can that's what I was just thinking yeah yeah cows and I were talking about pros and cons the other day it's like well what's the major downfalls if we get sick there's no medical care I think it's probably so much easier to prevent getting it here because everything's so controlled in terms of contact with people so I mean we control it yeah we control exactly you know if you can't we believe to new people come in and we make sure they've had their their time before we are making physical contact yeah so you guys never explore the windy side of the island and see what it's like yeah okay I'll follow you mine's the baby head on all right [Music] trip you're walking here it's like really sharp stone and this holes I'm gonna go down in it who looks gross [Music] very through the end of the toilet it's quite a walk isn't it yeah it's even longer do you think it took like an hour and 20 minutes new Hot Wok time to cool off [Music] [Music] [Music] it's so nice out it's gonna be a green flash they might be a green flash it's like a bowl of red fire you think it's gonna be a green flash mmm there it goes [Music] see that Sierra that was amazing huh and all the horns are going off and everything I'm so hungry right now let's get into the breathing come on baby nards up next all right Connor just makes you feel happy and try to get food delivered to our uninhabited island [Music] is this your height of your cuteness yeah this man you're getting cuter by the day I wonder if you have a height of cuteness or thank you to every day yeah you're seeing a lot of
