Mad Max Driving to Jumbo: Our Dominican Republic Boat Life | Ep 88

Join Chris and Danielle, Army veterans living the sailboat dream on SV Agua Azul, for a real day in the Dominican Republic. From a super high tide under the full moon to wild grocery runs and essential boat fixes, this vlog captures the ups and downs of island life. We start with our propane rental car (spot the dings!), fuel up, and grab a stunning ocean-view breakfast – Dominican fish for her, American classics for him. Share bites and help a local? Check. Then, navigate chaotic parking like Mad Max to Jumbo for groceries, spotting early Christmas cheer. Back at the marina, load the dinghy (it bulges!), motor through rain, and unpack – sniffing for freshness after a past chicken mishap. Watch boat projects: improvise a hatch hinge with screws and washers, tweak the Seawater Pro water maker seals, and unclog the head without a mess. Plus, clean dingy walls with Dawn for that fresh look. Heat's rising to 90s, so open windows and chill. Furry crew gets peanut butter bacon treats. End with reflections on why we love this life.
