0:00
so we are in Marsh Harbor with my baby
0:03
right there and we're going to get some
0:06
groceries it's supposed to be like a
0:09
real supermarket but you know of course
0:11
the island prices so
0:15
$20 to buy like two bags of groceries
0:18
for 400
0:21
i sure hope not that would never really
0:23
suck so but we're going to make it in
0:26
they do have a public dock here and
0:28
there's supposed to be trash there and
0:29
everything so we're good to
0:31
go so we made it to the dinghy dock our
0:35
dinghy is over there somewhere and uh
0:38
you can dump
0:40
trash i got to hold on to the wagon you
0:42
get to dump trash and all that good
0:44
stuff here so pretty cool place
0:48
okay hear drones in the background i
0:51
guess parties going on or clubs or
0:53
whatever
0:55
glass i don't want to be walking in here
0:59
but uh I don't want to slice my throat
1:01
in there yes i don't think there's any
1:05
glass i just walked across
1:10
but the third world country
1:13
yeah this is the path full of travel to
1:16
the grocery store though so a lot of
1:19
people going back and forth on boats
1:21
there from boats here it's one of the
1:24
biggest grocery stores you can find
1:26
until you
1:27
get actually I don't even know where
1:30
there's a bigger one uh probably Nassau
1:32
yeah Nassau or something but we're not
1:34
going there yeah so but I'm going to get
1:37
off this cuz
1:39
traffic so we made it to the grocery
1:42
store and nowhere does it say Maxwell on
1:44
here so we're at a loss
1:49
so as my wife's saying this is a like a
1:52
supertore here with home decor it's kind
1:55
of like a super Walmart I guess but in
1:59
gross
2:02
so I don't see I see furniture store
2:07
but turn you around show you what we're
2:09
looking at here but this is what the
2:12
grocery stores look like on the surface
2:15
you see we are in Maxwell let me go wide
2:19
spring pretty big place guys pretty big
2:22
place that's about all I'm going to tell
2:26
you saying the saltines are a little bit
2:29
[Music]
2:30
high it's kind of ridiculous but we like
2:33
to have them around
2:36
750 i mean
2:38
look $9 $9
2:42
guys we're switching to lime juice
2:45
it was cheaper
2:48
like what like two or three i think two
2:51
yeah
2:54
her carrot so we're in the veggie house
2:57
we're doing good here
3:02
okay guys we just finished grocery
3:05
shopping i mean wide screen this and uh
3:08
I'm going to have to go adjust the
3:11
dinghy but uh yeah this is our haul it
3:16
wasn't that bad about $400
3:21
so wasn't bad at all and uh we'll show
3:25
you
3:27
we buy this in the States
3:30
and uh it was $21 i think in the States
3:33
I can pick it up for about 15 16 yeah
3:36
but there were some things that were
3:37
cheaper you just have to shop around you
3:39
just can't buy you know like you buy in
3:42
the US especially with canned goods
3:44
uh-uh no canned goods i only got a few
3:46
because I saw a lot and I just wanted to
3:48
replenish it and they're like $2 yeah i
3:51
was like okay nice
3:55
okay guys eggs were $4 for a 12-pack and
4:01
I we dumped these over coming down here
4:03
didn't bust a
4:05
one so that was good
4:09
and uh yeah this is our lime juice we're
4:12
going to lime juice versus lemon juice
4:15
which I think I like better yeah that
4:18
was pretty cheap oh
4:20
yeah oh guys and I didn't show you this
4:23
but man 10 lb
4:26
of
4:27
cornmeal that's almost impossible to
4:30
find in the US
4:32
[Music]
4:35
babe we got a lot of
4:40
food our checklist oh yeah we got a
4:44
hamburger patties they were They weren't
4:46
that
4:47
bad so not sure what the price of these
4:51
were but chicken wings for $310 oh that
4:55
wasn't Yeah that wasn't bad 1 2 3 4 5
4:58
six and these are small
5:02
that's because there's no antibiotics
5:04
and they're raised cage free this is how
5:07
big a chicken's legs should be
5:11
in the United States when we go and get
5:13
chicken legs they look like turkey legs
5:15
yes they do no this is chicken yep
5:21
okay guys so there is the dog where our
5:25
dingy is and here is the liquor store
5:28
where you can get liquor
5:31
yep
5:32
and here is the rocks flavor if you like
5:36
that okay guys so pretty convenient
5:40
place to get your your liquor on right
5:43
here and uh yeah think or continue right
5:49
there but we're we're going to starving
5:52
we're going to go get uh wet cuz it's
5:54
kind of wavy out there
5:57
okay got our groceries done got a little
6:00
adult refreshment and she's going to
6:03
make a
6:04
sandwich and she's hungry we're hungry
6:07
and uh yeah we all did that uh we
6:10
started at only took us 4 hours are you
6:13
serious
6:15
oh my gosh we've been doing this for 4
6:16
hours we started at 10:00 right yeah i
6:19
think what time is it 2 it is 2 oh wow i
6:22
didn't I had no idea what time it was so
6:25
everything takes longer on a boat and
6:27
then we have Itchy Scratchy up there too
6:30
so she's uh I gave her a bath maybe
6:33
that's it but uh yeah look at that
6:37
fridge it's all full and stuff it is
6:39
stuffed it is stuffed really
6:43
stuffed okay we're getting out of Marsh
6:46
Harbor uh winds are a little bit higher
6:51
than what we like but not as high as
6:53
what we left uh safe uh sail K at great
6:57
sail K but uh yeah we almost had
7:00
ourselves a little wreck coming out here
7:02
cuz the boats were swinging and and I
7:05
was going I had a path between the boats
7:07
and then that path closed in but uh
7:10
luckily we we got it turned we also had
7:12
a dingy jump in and he was going to save
7:15
us yeah so uh I was up there doing that
7:19
and then I looked back and I was like
7:20
"Whoa we're a little closer." Yeah we
7:22
were a little close oh but uh for you
7:25
know for preparations you know we we've
7:28
we've done all we can we've addressed
7:30
windy predict wind um
7:34
uh got to turn a little bit more
7:36
probably going to be not a nice
7:40
it's mostly going to get run it's mostly
7:42
going to be a motor because the wind's
7:44
got to be pretty much on our bow but I'm
7:46
going to get back to driving because
7:48
we're heading towards a rock and uh
7:50
[Music]
7:52
yeah well it's not too bad of a
7:56
motor but uh yeah the wind uh the wind
8:00
is kicking it now what little hair I
8:03
have is all over the place so we are uh
8:07
getting beat down by 24 knots i'm in the
8:10
shelter of the Dodger we got my repair
8:12
job still holding up looks like but
8:14
still there and uh yeah my babe's over
8:18
there just chillaxing let me turn it
8:21
around to show the star of the show and
8:24
there is my
8:25
babe she's in the shelter of the
8:29
Dodger and uh
8:32
just sailing in for a few hour pass
8:39
yeah it's about 4 hours 5 hours but uh
8:42
the next one is
8:44
uh 9 to 10 hours or 8 to 8 to 10 hours
8:48
somewhere around there
8:50
i'm adding
8:52
hours tell me one thing and then we
8:55
change it well I do it based on uh cuz
8:57
like right now the wind is beating us
8:58
down take a knock from us not supposed
9:01
to be doing that on Friday no there's
9:03
not supposed to be any wind so yeah good
9:07
to go
9:08
and the puppy of course is uh leaking or
9:10
odd
9:12
spots like uh a bad puppy
9:18
so what are you thinking about the the
9:19
waves and stuff right now babe
9:22
all right little rough
9:28
yeah but uh it's not it's not too much
9:32
uh seesaw
9:34
i think these are about 3T
9:37
C's three
9:40
four but it's really uh since we're
9:43
pounding into them it's hitting our
9:45
speed we're losing about a knot and a
9:48
half right
9:49
[Music]
9:51
now so since this is pounding us right
9:54
on the front of the boat we're only
9:56
doing about 3.6 knots and it's really
9:59
hindering our speed
10:02
but I think uh this would be the the
10:05
worst of it cuz we're going to go back
10:07
in closer to the shore here so right now
10:10
if you look over at the Al wouldn't want
10:12
to be on that that is looking like some
10:15
serious crap over
10:22
[Music]
10:24
there and my wife is looking at that
10:26
beach looks
10:28
good the buildings over there don't
10:32
look that good
10:34
but I don't know if that says sold over
10:37
there i'll look it up uh get back to
10:40
editing this video but yeah it may be
10:42
for sale some beach property here at
10:46
Bahama
10:49
House there's no
10:55
way wife says no dishes right now
11:01
should calm down a little bit yeah it
11:04
should but yeah we've been
11:08
Oh yeah we're so exposed yeah we we're
11:10
well
11:11
exposed that's all over there see if we
11:15
can get some pounding up front oh look
11:18
at that oh yeah that's
11:22
amazing yeah you can just see the water
11:31
hopefully that crossing to go
11:38
Arthur said
11:41
um Friday is supposed to be that way
11:43
right no it's supposed to be really calm
11:45
cuz we have to get out on the Atlantic
11:47
yes and now we're about to
11:50
turn cuz we're going to go that way and
11:54
that
11:54
looks nicer maybe
12:01
so this is really beautiful over here
12:04
that's an anchorage over there i
12:05
wouldn't be anchored in that and that's
12:08
where all the
12:13
wheelbar behind the
12:16
wheel i know you can't see it but we're
12:19
seeing four or 5t waves out here
12:30
and our our angle is pretty decent to
12:33
the waves right
12:37
now hopefully uh I think my wife's going
12:40
to have to go other side she's about to
12:42
get wet
12:54
so it only took us an hour and 41
12:57
minutes to get from where we were on
13:00
that side to where we needed to be on
13:02
this
13:04
side it's moving slower than the speed
13:07
of
13:09
smell there's my
13:12
base he's enjoying the ride it got a
13:14
little smoother but we're a little We're
13:15
getting a little behind some uh terrain
13:18
over here smooth
13:20
out and plus it's only like 2T deep over
13:24
there i can't believe how shallow it
13:27
is my baby said she was going to come
13:29
down here and do dishes
13:31
but it's a little bit lame
13:36
no we're fine
13:38
i guess a little bit less
13:42
yeah but she's been a trooper out
13:46
here cuz uh been a trooper the
13:49
windscreen's all
13:52
splashed with the dodger
13:58
when we get on the Atlantic on Friday
14:01
it's calm that's why we're doing this so
14:03
we can get to that window
14:05
yeah I don't like being on the Atlantic
14:07
it's like this
14:11
okay guys where we at right now we got
14:13
that was splashing good got shallow on
14:17
both sides of us so it's supposed to be
14:20
channel markers in here but there are
14:21
eight so we're just weaving our way
14:24
through we're in 12t but it gets down to
14:26
7T real quick just look at
14:30
that waves are just beat
14:37
i give you a scope to how wavy is not
14:42
here you can't see it in the
14:51
camera
15:01
amazing can't believe my wife is down
15:03
there doing dishes in this holy crap
15:09
you can see out there them are
15:14
surfable that was that was a big
15:18
deal just look across the
15:25
island nature's
15:28
fury it's not that serious but we are
15:32
slamming
15:40
look over
15:41
there i think them may be surfable out
15:47
[Music]
15:52
there well we just made it through
15:54
something that my babe
15:58
No I didn't like him either but my babe
16:00
was like it was she got a little nervous
16:03
she was out there d doing dishes during
16:05
it and so it's still a little rolly
16:08
right now but uh it's not rolling we're
16:12
going up swells that are going up to
16:14
about 8 foot 8t swells i mean look at
16:16
this
16:17
[Music]
16:19
yeah it's it's it's a little little high
16:24
but
16:26
uh yeah we I think we made through I
16:30
think we're through it and
16:33
uh as I say that
16:38
we're not through we're not through
16:41
it but uh it's get going to get
16:43
shallower up here so that should uh uh
16:47
relieve some of
16:49
this now I'm going to get off
16:52
this okay guys so we made it to uh the
16:57
point we're going to jump off Great
16:59
Abos to uh Arutha i think that's how you
17:03
say it we're not saying it right yeah
17:05
probably not but my gosh the the ending
17:08
point which you can still see from
17:11
here it had probably 8 12T swells in
17:15
there it was rough that was We weren't
17:19
expecting that that was we were having
17:22
just a kind of a nice bouncy ride over
17:25
here and all set i can see it it looks
17:28
like surfable waves over there it's
17:31
pretty horrible out there i would not no
17:34
those are not nice waves no so they're
17:37
they're white capping really big and
17:39
Yeah so if you're if you're looking to
17:41
surf uh come to the end of the gray co
17:45
and it's dangerous you can I can still
17:47
see it where it's hitting the rock is
17:49
spraying up in the air it's just it's
17:52
it's massive so but we're going to
17:55
continue on and we're going to get to
17:57
Arthla or whatever you're say correct me
17:59
in the comments below or whatever i you
18:01
can't it's pronunciation and then
18:05
eventually we'll be in the Exumas exumas
18:07
but yeah we're going to we're going to
18:08
hang out there for a bit but we're uh so
18:12
really small I mean thin long island so
18:16
and you can hop down it yeah and it's
18:18
got like a lot of um really pretty
18:20
beaches and everything and then when you
18:22
get to the very end then it's like a
18:24
maybe a 5h hour hop over to Exumas and
18:27
then we'll be in um you know what they
18:30
call the most beautiful water in the
18:32
Bahamas so
18:34
what the heck is
18:36
that that looks like something just
18:38
broke up broke apart
18:42
yeah literally what on earth is it from
18:44
Earth
18:48
okay guys so we're leaving uh Little
18:51
Harbor Town at South
18:53
Havoc going to
18:57
Alra and uh down there at Egg Island
19:02
we're going to go
19:03
uh uh hopefully make it down there in
19:06
about hopefully 10 hours or less right
19:10
now it's saying 9 hours we'll see how
19:13
that holds up and uh yeah the sun is not
19:18
in my favor there but I was trying to
19:19
get my baby there of course more
19:23
coffee but we're uh we're going to make
19:26
this cut and then see how the ocean
19:29
looks okay so right there is Harbor
19:32
Town there and then over there there's a
19:35
blue hole you can actually take a dingy
19:37
over the top of we didn't do that but
19:40
you
19:42
can okay guys so we're coming through
19:44
Little Harbor Cut on a slack tide this
19:47
is a low
19:48
tide and
19:51
hopefully this is
19:54
calm so if uh we're going uh so
20:01
the tide will start coming in I believe
20:05
it looks like it's still going out
20:06
because of my speed but
20:10
yeah so
20:13
There's our speed right there real
20:14
Harvard town
20:17
cut okay my baby is done with this
20:25
passage hey we're in uh
20:29
13,000 ft water right
20:31
now
20:33
dog she's just uh done with the tip
20:38
so water is dark branch of blue but
20:43
yeah there's a long way to go
20:52
[Music]
20:55
yeah this should be the last of long ho
20:59
for a
21:00
[Music]
21:07
while yes
21:12
okay guys we made it to the outside of
21:17
Alra now you can't see it there but I
21:21
like to can tell you my babe is ready to
21:25
be done with this
21:29
yep very
21:31
good actually spend the next couple of
21:35
months doing short little hops to
21:37
beautiful islands
21:39
it's just been a lot yes it has a month
21:42
of a lot of hazards a lot a lot of uh
21:47
cold fronts and storms and
21:52
stuff so now we're just ready to sit
21:55
back
21:58
sit back and chillax after we get in
22:02
it's got another uh two hours and we'll
22:05
be
22:07
in oh I'm red getting all that vitamin
22:13
D well I look red
22:17
okay come in Luther we're going through
22:20
the
22:21
uh island cut you got to watch out see
22:25
them waves out there all kinds of
22:28
crawlhead reef all out there
22:32
and we were going to go over here to egg
22:36
island and uh anchor up but we decided
22:40
we're going to go inside we're shaking
22:43
the
22:46
rocket so when you're coming in
22:49
Luther and you're looking at the chart
22:52
they have a line you want to follow that
22:54
line to get in your anchorage or get in
22:57
there without hitting bombies and stuff
23:00
okay guys there
23:02
is a uh island cut looking pretty good
23:07
that would have been where we would
23:08
anchor that probably wouldn't have been
23:11
so
23:13
good what do you think
23:15
babe did you want to anchor over
23:21
there little rough out
23:23
here we're trying to draw an layers
23:29
yeah this is going to rough faster
23:33
this has not been
23:35
Yeah it just now
23:39
is the entire way
23:43
was rolly
23:45
and yeah it was it was a long passage
23:49
we're up to 9 hours and 11 minutes
23:56
