hey guys if you're new to our channel

I'm Dan and my partner too well and I

are sailing here in the Caribbean we're

just a couple of crazy Canadians we've

sailed all the way from Halifax Nova

Scotia all the way down here to the

Caribbean we are now in loop Iran which

is in the Dominican Republic and if you

haven't already subscribed to our

channel now is a good time just hit the

subscribe button right below the video

hey guys so we have now left concepcion

and we are sailing for the dominican

republic loop iran is the name of the

port that we'll be going into

we've had some strange weather changes

here we had to beat most of the night

last night it was pretty nasty was too

dark to film but it was rough sailing

and the waves were kind of big their

flight nning up now and now we're at the

edge of a warm front running from a cold

front there's a heavy north wind coming

later which will be good it'll push us

down to dominican but where we are right

now there's a change in the to pressure

system it's gonna cause squalls so I'm

watching for squalls

there's a squall right behind us but

beating into the wind it's not gonna

catch up with us and I'm watching

carefully for squalls ahead of us pretty

soon the winds gonna track around and it

should give us a nice angle to head

straight so we'll pass the auckland's

will pass my iguana and then we'll head

straight for Turks and Caicos and

turn at Turks and Caicos for dominican

republic we chose these waypoints

because if we have a problem we have a

place to tuck in so we've got all their

paperwork done for Turks for Zeus so

something goes wrong we can go there

anyway this is a four day trip so we did

its thing it started the clock around

just like it was supposed to and it

actually in the middle of that just kind

of died I started and just caught the

craziest looking little fish check this

out

not sure what that is they're gonna

throw back

so we are on day four of our passage to

the Dominican Republic business

for hours I can just see the mountains

Dominican Republic on the horizon just

gonna be beautiful

things cleaned up and getting ready this

morning and we found two flying fish one

on deck and one inside the boat somehow

[Music]

and land it on the couch between two

cracks and cushions in our couch you all

have the fun of finding that little

surprise this morning we are arriving in

the Dominican Republic now this is

LeBron there's a small safe harbor that

we're going to enter and there's a

government that's what we're going to do

our customs for Dominican at the very

end so we could turn off the motor

filings Jamaican Republic here

it's a lovely morning here in Lupron

Dominican Republic it's been raining for

three or four days straight here and a

lot of garbage and branches and mud and

all kinds of stuff has washed out into

the bay so the waters like a pretty

brackish here but the first day there

was a lot of flooding

it was just rafts of garbage out here

it's not too bad now though here in the

bran I think just about everybody is on

a mooring and why not I mean it's pretty

tight quarters in here and we paid $2

American a day for that morning so okay

it's a pretty good deal this is a little

rainwater collection system I came up

with or I guess the well came up with it

and I made it it's just a tarp and

underneath there's a fitting there and a

hose and some clamps holding that

together right now it's looking to kind

of kink tip it anyway and then you tie

that down or secure it somehow and then

I tied all the corners of that tarp to

the lifelines like this and I was

holding these ones here up with a bungee

when it's working all the water go down

through that fitting that I put there

that's just a regular ABS plumbing

fitting down the hose and to whatever

you want to go I had it running down the

deck here I was just filling a jug with

it but I can run it over on the deck on

this side into our water intake ports

here filled up our water tanks filled up

our shower bag that's one of those solar

shower bags some extra jugs now water

and lukrons not that expensive

they have ro water which is made by a

water maker like a giant industrial

water maker 50 pesos for 20 liters or

something like that so that's a really

good deal but hey if it's gonna rain

like heck why not collect the free water

and we plan that way back in Nova Scotia

beautiful day today I don't know what

we're gonna do we'll see let's see what

the day brings
