last time when sailing balachandra we
left Devil's key for a leaky who notice
I'm iguanas then checked out highborn
key
[Music]
whoever said sailing in the Bahamas was
easy
[Music]
we spent one day at Norman's key it was
nice to have an anchorage all to
ourselves for a change as there were
boats with us the entire way we did some
exploring just the two of us and it was
nice to have the beach all to ourselves
[Music]
what are you doing to our dog Noel
dreadlocks Zeus is getting dreadlocks
gonna take me forever yeah am I getting
cred locks
[Music]
crazy old drinking well kind of a cave -
what do you think
so we're island-hopping we've made it to
shroud key so far this is my favorite
spawn shroud Keys the first island in
the Exuma land and sea park and so far
it is not disappointed it is beautiful
[Music]
the Exuma land and sea park is a
protected area it was the first ever
land and sea park established in the
world and is home to the western
hemisphere second largest coral Barrier
Reef the protected area extends from
trap K in the north to bail K in the
south
[Music]
today's underway meal spam canned corn
canned crema corn canned green beans
potato salt pepper and sugar it's
actually quite delicious even though it
doesn't look it I guess this is what the
east side of the Caribbean islands were
at looks like today not very much fun I
don't see too many sailboats out there
[Music]
beautiful Wow
[Music]
yeah we tried to do the blowholes but I
think they don't work at low tide I'm
just gonna stand there nothing happens
so we may not do the blow hole well
we're at the famous booboo Hill here in
the Exuma Park that's us down there damn
near run aground on sand they have a
very narrow little channel with some
mooring balls that you can tie to but I
noticed last night that our rudder was
actually sitting at this end so I think
we're gonna move the boat before the big
wind we got tonight what do you think
yeah
[Music]
[Music]
it's not uncommon to see a shark
swimming around under your boat in the
Bahamas most of the Sharks here are
harmless but caution should always be
taken around sharks so you can see that
I used some boarding bridles that we had
back in Halifax here to hold ourselves
onto this morning ball when we got here
the boarding ball didn't have any
bottles on it at all so just kind of
grabbing that big eyelet there and then
throwing some lines on so I can get our
bridle hook but that helped us out a lot
last night riding on 40 knots which is
pretty great way but it's a little bit
rolling in here as you can see it
breakers way out there
[Music]
hanging out in the cruisers chill pad
[Music]
Noel has deemed this the cruisers chill
pad looks like our friend stealing
[Music]
30-knot
I'm creating 40 knots on our Don
features pretty crazy
[Music]
wash up on the beach and we've been
noticing that cruisers have been a step
up miles seems like a really good idea
so we'll do our part you know we didn't
do too bad collecting garbage nah just
kidding we did a small part but this is
what the cruisers have been collecting
over god I don't know how many weeks I'm
not sure if they even collected I hope
they do well I hope that the Bahamian
government does come and collected or
the Park Rangers because we are part of
the parks though just finishing off
another beautiful day here in the land
and sea park cambridge key and the Exuma
x' it's gorgeous here we've been here
all night long on a morning it was like
rippin 40 nos last night and it was
windy all day today there was no leaving
here plus it's really tricky to get into
this spot there's this like little tight
channel right up against the beach and
we have to do it in high tide and
there's just it wasn't happening today
we'll probably head out tomorrow maybe
