so we chopped that up and sauteed it

threw it in with the curry here so we've

got a curry sauce we've got our freshly

harvested sprouts and then something

different we're gonna put it over

noodles but we'll see how that goes

we got up at 5:30 this morning drink

some tea and we're following sterling

across the Bahama banks we're gonna go

as far as we can towards Andros I've got

pretty light winds pretty calm day we'll

see how much Michaels gone up just to

get a visual on the land we're going

through a pretty narrow spot you can see

our depths are 10 feet Sun is just

so we left gun k we're about roughly 25

degrees 33 minutes and seventy nine

point three so we're right about here

we're able to hold this line pretty good

we're going to go as far as we can

probably anchor here and in the morning

come up and around and try to come down

into Morgan's Bluff which is right there

hi guys just watching sterling you can

tell when he's doing something because

his boat just starts to go in random

directions he was up there adjusting one

of his sails remind you he has no

autopilot no roller furling he has a

Hank on jib and he's got his mane and

jib out right now he was up there doing

a sail adjustment and I saw his boat

just kind of going

it's amazing

he's on another level

Oh buffing a little bit he's not evil

the ride is tight into the wind so he'll

fall off probably here in a sec

other thing about that trimer anybody

can't you can't hold our line he's gonna

have to fall we're riding a little bit

tighter into the wind

we got everything cool then real tight

[Music]

alright guys when we replace the

alternator we put a new one in and we

took apart the hoses the previous owner

had this copper tubing going around the

alternator with the hose going on both

sides that used salt water to cool the

alternator and that salt water combined

with the other salt water that goes

through the heat exchange possibly that

was why we were taking on so much salt

water it wasn't getting it all through

the system I don't know because we've

been running it a little harder than

we're used to we've cleaned it up we've

been taking care of the engine

we're doing 4.8 not it no windowsills

just flat water 4.8

alright guys we dropped anchor at 7:30

just in the middle of the Bahama banks

kind of towards the sandbars south of

the main travel and that would make it

about 13 hours we traveled today so

everything went pretty good we're gonna

leave some time in the morning we're

gonna fill up the diesel check the oil

and then hopefully make it to Morgan's

bluff

over the northwest shoal right now we're

approaching the entrance into the

Northwest channel there's tons of reefs

and wrecks we got our chart spotted out

trying to aim right here at this point

here we're aiming for right there and

then we're gonna try to get through we

just came around the pole entered the

Northwest channel the depths just

dropped pretty dramatically pulled out

both sails we're heading south a little

east southeast waves got a lot bigger

there's definitely a lot of traffic

right when you come around that pole

there so we switched to 16 and then we

got past most of it and we're back on

six eight over

[Music]

welcome to Morgan's bluff we're hoping

to get in we are on the home stretch for

sure

we got breakers we got reefs but we're

in the middle here I got three backup

plans if the GPS dies I'm gonna hold 240

the engine dies I'm gonna pull the jib

and ride it in over

Nietzsche
