After an eventful couple of days trying to navigate our way from Boston to Long Island and wangle ourselves a boat, we're now finally on the move. Since setting sail however, the boat has spent more time beached than it has afloat, and our inexperienced selves struggled massively with what felt like a very temperamental engine. In this episode we aim to make serious ground heading west through the luxurious Hamptons, but the battle with the boat would continue. Hilarious and heart-warming evening encounters with Long Island locals make up for another tough day on the waves.

Drop a like for Athena and Fernando everyone!

Fernando if you're watching this - it was a real pleasure to meet you. You're a lovely, funny guy with a bright future and you played a great part in our story, even if it didn't work out with the boat. I hope you don't find my over-sensationalised story telling too much 🤣

Athena - you're a saint and a sick bird (English for cool girl) What a firecracker of an evening we had together. Thank you for providing the fuel!

Everyone else - I hope you enjoyed this gem of an episode. Remember you can follow both me and Greg on Instagram:

Y'know Fernando pretended to take pictures and get out of there as fast as he could after seeing how bad the boat was 😂

American cop: To prove you’re not drunk, I want to see you walk in a straight line.
Tom: …

Bro, I'd be weak if two British guys in a boat sailed past me and just yelled: "Ahoy, there, the Queen is dead!" 😭

I reckon in his head Fernando was picturing a good deal on a small yacht or something, only to be greeted by Elizabeth. Explains why he ran like he did

The Michael Jackson joke delivered in Tom's voice was very unexpected but fucking hilarious

@Kiwi2703 3 years ago

I like how you wanted to be super safe to not do anything illegal and you manage to get an arrest warrant in episode 2 already lmao

Holy shit Fernando running back to work was the hardest I’ve laughed in a while, incredible guy and moment

@cloudenjoy64 3 years ago

this just completely encapsulates owning a boat: temperamental engines, learning to read maps, and sinking money

@mytube001 3 years ago

So, two hour-long episodes in, and you've covered about 15 % of the distance. This is going to be a looong series! :D
Athena was amazing!

@michaelcort1763 3 years ago

I like to imagine Fernando was running away from the deal having seen the condition of the boat.

When they tried to haggle with the motel guy I lost it. You can't just haggle on hotel prices! That was hilarious. He just started walking away! Classic.

People like Athena were the ones that made Europe so special, so she was a delight and man this Episode was another Banger, definitly on par with Europe so far the whole Series!

@leeartlee915 3 years ago

I’m sorry but love how that hard haggle blew up in their face.

“Oh we can’t pay that”

“Alright have a goodnight then”

“No, no, no, wait. We’ll pay it, please”

I think the key thing about trespassing in the US is time and place. Middle of the day in the Hamptons is pretty much always gonna break your way. Middle of the night in appalachia might end in a different kind of way

@JamesXcapesNY 3 years ago

I'm from Long island, and I've been a boat mechanic for 8 years in the past.... that's one hell of a distance on that little boat. Athena is great, us broke long islanders are the nicest, the money people are hit or miss. You cannot negotiate with an Indian motel owner😄 that guy was quick to say goodbye.

@charsey94 3 years ago

The fact that these are an hour long and I finish just wanting more is a testament to how entertaining and wonderful your content is, Tom. Thank you!

@bananawitchcraft 3 years ago

As someone with really severe anxiety who only wishes I could make friends this easily, your content helps restore my faith in humanity a little. It's easy to forget that a lot of people are actually very nice.
