Thanks John ,for taking the time to post such a nice comment.

Thanks Julie! It has been a wonderful time for sure . Living on the boat in the Bahamas showed me a completely different vacation experience. So grateful!

Thanks so much! We appreciate your kind words Mike!

Thank you Mac! It certainly was rolly but well worth it! The boat has been everything we had hoped. . Many more adventures to come. Love your comments .

you are welcome!

B&C you are most welcome! We appreciate you taking the time to say that!

Thanks , it was a great trip!

Thanks Richard. You will love the Bahamas! Enjoy the R25!

A little hairy when we left the keys but as the day past it got much better.

I know , how ridiculous , right? That boy cracks us up.

@@expeditionseanest He likes a challenge. 😁😁

Glad you enjoyed it

Yes , and loving it. Sometimes it feels like a dream. Very grateful.

Thanks Naoto they were great for amateurs! We LOVE sushi!

I think you may be confusing our boat with a much bigger vessel. At 3500 rpm we would have been beaten badly, spray would have made visibility poor and at that speed out fuel milage would have gone from 2.4 mpg to .9 at its best. Meaning our 95 mile passage would not be possible with a 99 gallon fuel tank.

Upcoming video will cover that ....but spoiler alert we did go further north then down - you guessed it!

Hell drkayak. We will either try to add that to an upcoming video or make a Short for you in the coming month or two. Drop us another line in case we forget. 👍

Thanks! I loved that "go bag", life vests with lights and other safety equipment you had. Very smart and clever - yes please make a video of that. @@expeditionseanest

Reg yes, safety is important! Especially in the middle of nowhere! We don’t use nets for tropical saltwater fish. They are too powerful and will tear a hole in your net. You just have to learn where to put your hands . Michael has worked on deep sea fishing boats and is actually a professional fishing guide. If the fish is big enough the gaf works great. Lots of experience but accidents can happen to anyone! Thank you for your comment and concern.

He is obviously competent. But you are in a risk/reward situation, especially as you travel further from hospitals, etc. We have a remote cottage in Georgian Bay, have seen everything, am much more aware of managing potential harm. Not using a net just adds unnecessary risk, IMHO. We put together a trauma kit because of that (quickclot, Israeili bandages, tourniquet,SAM splint, suture bandages) that I strongly recommend you consider too. @@expeditionseanest

We use a go pro and a Nikon Z6ii Go pro only lasts 2 years before it dies.

I think it varies. around $20.00 a day, We do have a generator but it only gets used on anchor.

Rolled Up on the roof rack

We do have radar now. Michael just installed it . We did not have radar or auto pilot for the Bahamas trip and wish we did. It just wasn’t in the budget. If we were to do it again we would install both from the get go .

Yes we would Love that!

You must consider the sea state to answer this question. We were quartering into waves that were roughly 3-4 feet . Our speed without current was 6 knots. With current 8 knots.

We do have a portable honda generator.

Sounds like a great idea! Thanks for watching and subscribing StageMan.

@@expeditionseanest The Gatling Gun was a joke. The Self protection wasn't.

Nope, couldn't afford it back then. Covid was hard on my biz

We do have sharks that are curious but we have never been attacked. There are no pirates in the Bahamas that we are aware of.But we are careful in Miami and Nassau as crime is much worse there.

Phill , you are so right. The spot light we had was good but the crab trap markers were hard to see except from the bow. Erik was only up there for a short time and was wearing a harness but if we were to do it again we would not leave a place like this in the dark.

Actually in the winter that is a good day . You might be thinking about summertime crossing.

Sounds like a great adventure….long day though!

Thanks for the kind words!
