you

our last day here in Provo we decided to

play a quick round of golf while it's

still in the dicey Channel next to

Southside marina

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

they do take debit here in the Turks and

Caicos okay so now I got to give them my

departure cards here with a passport

along with the passport so here's our

departure cards we've got it to where

we're basically barely running it

doesn't break that much and then we got

full sales but it's a bummer

sunsets are beautiful but not when

you're in the Turks and Caicos banks

trying to get a Kurd before dark so it's

just after 7:00 the Sun nearly set

another 13 hour day of sailing under

sail power alone you think we might have

some seaweed cut in the top hopefully

nothing more serious than that but we'll

have to wait for morning before we dive

down and check it out

everything was going great until right

about here where we experienced some

major engine difficulties not knowing

what it was but knowing we couldn't run

the engine under sail power alone we

crossed the Caicos bank all the way over

to six Hills Cay chasing daylight we

didn't make it in until dark the next

morning we drove on the prop to find

that it was shattered instead of sailing

on to lupron like we'd planned we knew

that our best option was to head instead

for South Caicos so we exited the Caicos

Bank here went along the southern tip of

Long kay and into Cockburn Harbour down

at the south end of South Caicos here we

plan to make some calls and hopefully

find another prop before making the long

crossing down to the Dominican Republic

you just missed me on the edge

like keeled over okay we got attack

ready ready

turn into it

we're going over stuff right now but

nothing crazy one of your dumb

[Music]

the whole day

[Music]

yeah

don't worry about securing it babe just

drop it and get on the anchor once it

gets down there good job

looks like our prop is still giving us a

little bit of propulsion okay I'll show

you guys a little bit of what we had to

deal with so this is where we left here

at the six Hills this morning we came up

on one tack you can see there's a

numerous corals

dangerous rocks so we came up on about

heading straight east and then we had to

make this tack you see all the coral we

were coming out and land so we had to

come straight down here right about to

there and then we made another tack I

don't have to zoom in a little for this

see those red lines that's more coral so

he tacked to here and we were heading

that dangerous coral so we had to do

another tack come down and then we were

coming at this rock here and show us so

then we tacked real quick came out this

way and then we were able to ride this

tack all the way out to the deep out of

kratom out over the banks which it got

real hairy when you cross over that it's

a little lumpy and then from here we

were able to ride it all the way up to

our entrance and then right here we were

able to just right downwind and rode it

all the way into where we're anchored

now well water

[Music]

[Music]

now that come up and show it to you guys

here's what remains of the prop and see

here here's what Sterling's talking

about you can see right here where it

snapped it's not shiny

that's why sterling thinks it was

cracked a long time ago and when we

finally got the cooling system fixed and

we could run it out a nice rpm it just

flung this blade the blade flung and it

hit the bow and it bent it bent the

bracket down there but when I was

hammering on the prop you can see some

dents trying to get it off it didn't

work you had to put the chisel and real

tight and smash it from here seemed to

work and go and turn it around and keep

hitting it hard and keep rotating it and

with that chisel hitting it on the base

here

most of South Caicos does not have

running water so they come to the rain

collection facility to fill up buckets

Hey

so we got 15 gallons of water it costed

45 cents 15 cents for each one of these

pretty pretty good deal I think

we looked around to find a propeller

that might replace our broken one but it

appears that our best bet is to go to

the shipyard in Provo

[Music]

[Music]

thank you so much and if you're in South

Caicos officer you gotta find the police

officer and she sells these Leone James

Leone gin I got for you cheesecake going

off will let you know if it's good or

not me well we did kiwi strawberry

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

when were you born again that's amazing

old hippies never die yeah it just

becomes semi respectable

[Music]

up next we take a ferry to Provo to

patrol for a prom and on the return trip

we see an enormous tiger shark and

sterling patches up his mast and

attempts to raise it these are the tales
