Our Fridge Died, But The Water Is Cool __ Sailing Moorea, French Polynesia

Oh, I forgot. Brand new brie. We just bought it two days ago. But because the fridge isn't cold enough. Oh, it's moldy. This is a disaster. It's smelly and moldy. And it's sad. Should we? Show me the... See that? 60. 65. Bad news, guys. I think the fridge is officially dead. It's been dying a slow death ever since it was, well, probably ever since day one. We called the manufacturer when we got this boat and we said, well, the fridge doesn't work very well. And Seafrost, the company that makes the refrigeration unit said, well, is it a two plate in one side and no plate in the other side system? I'm like, yeah, we have a leopard. And she said, oh yeah, we know. We told them not to do that. It doesn't work. So we've always fought with this fridge, but now it's officially dead. There's some sort of goo at the bottom. That's kind of oily. The past two days, it's gone from like 40 degrees to 50 to, what did I say? 60 and 65 at the top. 60.1, 65. That's not safe. We're gonna die. This fridge is going to kill us. But thankfully, we have two fridges slash freezer cooler thingies. You might be saying, what? Like Nikki did. But there's a reason because we didn't trust the fridge. One is a freezer. It's outside. And one is a fridge now. It was just there, storage. We kept saying, we're gonna give it away. We're gonna throw it. We're gonna donate it to somebody, but I don't know. I'm glad we did not. Looks like we're keeping it. Exactly, we're keeping it. And one's the Dometic and people have asked about it. So let me show you. Okay, this one is the first one that we got. It's a Dometic. It came with this little pouchy thing that helps supposedly protect it. Helps keep it more insulated. There is like some insulation in here. And we liked it very much. I read a bunch of reviews online. People said, oh yeah, the last two or three years, it's not technically a marine cooler. So it will eventually die. Ours is about two years old now and it's still running good. The insulation's starting to fall apart in here. But the only complaint I have about this guy is here. Tiny seal, it condensates all on the top and then it freezes when you're using it as a freezer and then it won't shut anymore. So then it just freezes more and freezes more. So it needs immediately defrostation once it frosts over. But other than that, it's been a great little fridge and it will now be our only fridge. And so it's like that lid just needs to be more insulated. Yeah, it just needs more insulation and maybe a better seal or something. They need an extreme version. This would probably be fine in a dry climate. Camping. Yeah, camping or yeah. But for long-term use, it hasn't been too awesome as far as having to... I guess about once a month I'll have to defrost it, which isn't horrible. But that's as a freezer. Yeah, as a freezer. Oh, as a fridge, it just condensates and I just have to wipe it dry. I got it set to 39, 37. It says on the bottom 42, 40. And the cheese that I put a couple of pieces of cheese in here, it's 50. Yeah, it hasn't been on that long. Much safer. So that's this one. And I do like the cover cause it's gray. It matches our curiosity colors. Yeah. The other fridge freezer is here. Okay. Yep. Ignore the dent there. That happened because I got one that's just a hair too big. There's a size that's like a tiny bit smaller that would have fit in here perfectly. It just is what it is. The only downside to this fridge freezer is the fact that it's stainless steel. So it takes a little more maintenance keeping it clean. I think we've had to de-rust it what? Twice in the year we've had it? Yeah. So it's like an extra chore that only has to happen every few months or every couple of times a year. Other than that, this thing is super beefy as far as the insulation goes, as far as the seal goes on the top. It still has to be defrosted though. Yes, defrosted. So the fridge freezer that came on the Leopard has to be defrosted like literally every week. The Dometic one has to be defrosted about once a month. Icinga, yes, I'm sorry. And this one has to be defrosted about once every two to three months. So that tells you there, the insulation is much better on this one. And I've got this one set at, but it's kind of hard to read the LED light. Three degrees, three degrees. Let's shoot in here. It's super stacked in here. Yeah, it's a very filled moment. All right, 15 degrees on the very top. And the ice cream is 13 degrees. Down below, it's gonna be like three, three or four degrees. Yeah, so all of our fish in there is good to go. I'm not gonna pull that out, it's a pain. Okay, so that's the fridge freezer set up. I'll put a lot more details on our website and in the description box down below if you're watching this on YouTube. Links, specifications, whatever, I don't know. Yeah, you need to move all of the stuff out of the fridge now. I forgot about that. I was like, oh, the video's over, yay. No, well, you transfer all the stuff in the fridge. I am gonna fly the drone and find us a snorkeling spot. And clearly, it is laundry day. The other anchorage doesn't look a whole lot better. Looks like a lot more sand and less coral. So, the snorkeling over there might not be any better. Might be better off sticking over here. It's exactly where the current runs through. That other boat is right in the middle of it. We chose a good spot to anchor. Clothes dry? Mostly? I think so. Okay. So, where are we going? We're gonna go really just to the coral right here in front of the boat. I looked around, but everything looks more the same. It didn't seem like there was one area with better coral or anything like that than another. So, we can jump in, see what we find. And the wind has picked up. So, we won't feel that under the water, but at least we don't have to paddle anywhere super far. Haven't even left the boat. We've already seen two rays and a little shark down there. Oh, I thought that shark was gonna eat that ray. That was so cool. And then the other spot, legal ray was coming up and I was running out of breath. There's a lot of stuff happening underneath us. Yeah, not bad at all. No, not at all. Nice little spot. And how about you, besides being frozen? Mostly just frozen. You know that visibility is really good when you can see all the way to the bottom from the top. And it is like between 50 and 60. Man, we got out just in the nick of time. The sun just set behind the hill. It's beautiful. And that's Tahiti off in the distance. Still lit up. Okay, it's getting cold. Well, hi, Cleo. How are you? One of our favoritest teas, vanilla cormorant or something decaf. It's super yummy. I like all the splashes of my milk. And feeling naughty, a little scoop of sugar. Nice warm shower. Hot tea. It's awesome. Nice view. Of all the fires. A smoky view.
