So alligator just took off
where did it go? I mean do they come back up again?
There it is again. That's a gator huh? Thats a big splash.... darn it....
[MUSIC]
Previously on Luckyfish we worked like crazy to splash in time for
a weather window that would take us all the way to Nestle
[MUSIC]
with Luckyfish back in the water we felt excited about the adventures that
lay ahead but sad to be saying our goodbyes to new friends we would be
leaving behind
Lew. That's slick.
Jim. Seeing as though you are in the middle of epoxy.
Robert. I like the way you got that set up.
Chris. Yeah. Sangria. She had that in her little....
Malinda. It pays to have paid crew you know.
and Tony. Put it back in the bottle....
Bruce. We smuggled 3,000 bottles of scotch in on the Chinese junk to Tahiti
Tim. In three or four minutes there won't be a piece this big
Gerry. Wee... Mongolian flag.... Ohhh!
[LAUGHS]
Brandon. Hey !!!
and Danielle. I dont think theres any alcohol in that punch
Danny. Go off and try something new
and of course Wayne Brown himself. It's just whether or not you want to be...
And to good buddy Curtis who'd been a massive help
getting back in the water on time and introducing us to the local wildlife so
So, alligator just took off. We came down to look at Danny's proa
and err.. where did it go? Do they come back up again?
he was on a ... it could have been a big turtle... oh yeah fair enough
this is the old river, coming around, through that way
there's a fishing boat just going through the grass over there
that's a weird scene
I assume he's heading towards the bridge he is
all right
There it is. Thats a gator huh. Thats a big splash.
Darn it.
Yeah. That was a big splash.
Yeah. That aint no little turtle.
Geez. I would feel very precarious sitting out there on Danny's net
[LAUGHS]
Something.... there he is. Right there
There is the gator. Right here.
Thats him
the eyes? on the water or what?
You see him out there?
hes just under the bow of that boat...
which boat the proa?
ohhh, the other one. I have gotta come over where you are then mate.
Nahhh. I cant see him eh?
Here is. Over here. Right there.
He's turned around looking at us.
oh I see yeah just below the anchor right Wow he's he's not the big one
right now that's to the little guy there's something else over there too
there might be two of them out there
See. He is there. Yeah. Thats the little one.
don't fall in now. yeah.
imagine if this dock tipped and we just
ended up in the water wouldn't you get out in a hurry with that little guy just
sitting there
it's the bridge closing
Its a beautiful morning. Yeah its a beautiful morning. We left at 5:30 from Labelle
just bumped the bottom of the port engine as we came out of the cut there
but a little bit of brute force and we pushed our way through the silt
Labelle bridge opened for us right on when he clocked on.
We caught him at 6:00
So for once we actually got away and did something on time
There is the next bridge
there's all this beautiful water front homes
5 knots. 4.9.
pretty much every one of them have this little docks, private docks. Right?
Fancy.
Next ones a swingbridge. Is it?
What's the name of it?
The next bridge is Fort Denaud.
It's a swing bridge. It's only got a vertical clearance of 9 feet.
Ooooh yeah. we need it open....
just looking at our wake there you can see in the middle of the river
the waves are moving ahead of the stuff on the edges
Okeechobee, the Lake, they are discharging water so we're getting a nice push
maybe half a knot or so if we stick to the middle of the river
so we'll certainly take advantage of that
what are you doing honey
Sailing to the moon
Its beautiful right?
Suns just coming up
Suns coming up on that side. Moons on this side.
that's a pretty river boat
we cleared customs yesterday we drove to Fort Myers and went to the airport and met
a very friendly customs and immigration official
RADIO Captain you will be clear to pass on the right hand side of the span
once the bridge is fully open
message understood thank you very much
I thank you sir
something I forgot about. Look
It's not 8. Its one hour ahead
it's 7 o'clock. 7 am
we made pretty good progress this morning it's 20 after 9:00 and we're at
Franklin Lock
Another catamaran has joined us. Zaya is up there, ready to tend her lines
ready to drop down. a foot and a half
one and a half feet we going down back to sea-level get a bit of surge in these
locks so pays to hang on to the lines and watch the side of the boat here we
here we are right in the middle of Suburbia
closing the lock gates
getting ready to open the ones on the downstream side
both just surged forward quite steadily
as the downstream lock gates opened
see the water rushing out there now
we're going backwards
Franklin Lock
I'll just change the mooring line over to the other side of the cleat
Now we're going forwards again
Zaya thinks this is all good fun
The boat's still got quite a bit of unfinished work on it
the tools are still out. that is always a bad sign
we've got a few hours now before we
reach the sea out at Sanibel bridge and probably got about six hours or so to
get the sails rigged and bolt a few of the last fittings back on again after
paint and get the boat set up for afternoon of sailing into the night be
able to shake the boat down and the daylight which is great and the weather
just is so favorable for our trip. I will try and run through what's in store over the
next couple of days but the wind looks very favorable for our run southeast
down to Marathon and then we should be in there by noon tomorrow or there
abouts nearly it's opening them up a bit faster now so the water level is almost
reached equilibrium yeah we should get to marathon around noon tomorrow barring
any hitches then the wind looks like it's going to swing in our favor for a
crossing of the Gulfstream to Bimini so if the weather forecast holds we can
leave Marathon about 6:00 a.m. on Sunday morning and make the run across
to Bimini and if the weather's still favourable and we've got daylight we
might continue onto to Nassau we'll play all that by ear generally we just
try make plans for the next leg one step at a time we were just given
instructions to exit the chamber when we're ready so we've just started the
engines and and now motoring out of the lock
arriving at Fort Myers we saw Chris's trimaran and swung by but he was not at home
where are you Chris?
Is it him?
yeah. It is his boat.
Well we just passed Fort Myers and it's so busy it's a Friday I mean don't any of these people work ?
There is so many boats on the water, many powerboats. The bigger they are....
the faster they go it's funny
big fat ones they just power straight past ya, like they've spent their whole life not
caring about other people
They get on the water with all their millions and...
its situation normal for them
but there's a few, I gotta say, in
the mid size range smaller ones don't bother us but the ones in the mid-size range
can pick up quite a trough in their wake. It pitches the boat around
and there is always one or two slow down and I get a big fat wave from us smiles but boy there is
some inconsiderate people out there
Sanibel bridge was fast approaching and beyond that the leg to marathon it was
time to finish the jobs we found a place to anchor away from the wash from other
boats rigged the sails and put the tools away at last
well it's Saturday February the 4th about 9:00 in the morning we had a good
run last night we stopped the boat after transiting down the river
to Sanibel bridge and spent about two hours just rigging
the sails before crossing under the bridge and starting our 120 miles
crossing overnight to Marathon Key and we're approaching marathon key now we're
in very shallow water that 2.1 meters under the keel and we're on the banks
behind the keys picking our way through a couple of parts of shoaling ground not
very familiar with the approach to marathon key we have to pass under the
bridge apparently and then on our left should be Boot Key marina where we will take
on some fuel and overnight and take advantage of this wind that's going to
continue to veer we've been really fortunate with the winds part of the
reason why we left Labelle when we did we saw this weather window opening up
where we'd have a brisk Norwest changing nor'easter norther came through last
night so we had broad reaching conditions initially and fairly light
winds and the nor westerly and then the nor'east filled in at about 22 23
knots and we gave the boat a good shake down flying along at between 6 and 9
knots boat speeds on a beam reach boat behaved beautifully vane steering setup
ran no problems although the ride was a bit noisy and a
bit bumpy at times got us down here really fast we're covered 160 miles or
so from Labelle and did it in under 28 hours that wind is going to continue to
veer tomorrow morning it'll move from the nor east through East and then South
around 6 a.m. tomorrow morning but to confirm that with this morning's weather
forecast the forecast yesterday evening which is just ideal I mean if we can get
a southerly boost along with the Gulf Stream north up to Bimini and that's
textbook crossing of the Gulf Stream so we'll see how that pans out and then
from Bimini we need to get across the Nassau by the 10th meet our first
guests we really couldn't have asked for a better re introduction to sailing and
a good shakedown for Luckyfish
Well the crabpots that everyone warned us about we're really thick as we were warned
all the way from pretty much Sanibel Britain we're still an amongst
them just it's incredible think there's any crabs left I mean they are just simply
everywhere
they didn't prove a problem for our boat we must have run over a few
of them but we didn't get hung up on any of the appendages which is pretty neat
we didn't run the hydro generator last night because of that reason we thought
we might get that thing hooked up in one which would not have been good
so we ran the wind genny instead all night and it did really well I mean we've got both
battery banks topped off this morning it was a very brisk breeze the wind genny was
putting out plenty of power turned it off now the Sun's up and we are just using the
solar panels to keep everything topped off
[MUSIC]
this is Boot Key harbour where we will anchor tonight and get ready to leave in the
morning for Bimini
