I crossed over this SeaVee 340B from Stuart to The Abacos for a client of mine and got caught in some pretty tall seas. This boat is an absolute beast of a boat and handled everything that I threw at it. After I made it to Treasure I went ahead and took it over to Great Guana Cay where my client has a house.

Great video. Im surprised you didn't take Dont Rock passage over the whale cay passage. That boat definitely could have made it.

@NickOlinde 28 күн бұрын

Believe it or not this is Don’t Rock passage. I almost exclusively use that.

Great run.. I know you done a good number of trips already.. but each trip can throw you a surprise.. and I think you're well prepared 🤙

@NickOlinde Ай бұрын

Every trip is different and has a whole different list of potential problems/dangers. Experience and continuing to educate yourself are the best things that can be done to insure safety.

What a kickass life you have man. Has always been my dream to run boats in Florida and especially to be able to run one to Abaco.

@NickOlinde Ай бұрын

I have worked hard to make this life a reality and I found a way to make my passions my profession! You should shade that dream man!!

Absolutely and definitely takes hard work to get there. Enjoy all your videos Capt. Stay safe out there and enjoy!

You are a beast Nick. I would have turned around in the inlet. lol.

Haha my client needed the boat and I needed to get over there!! I also never felt unsafe once so it wasn’t too bad

Pretty sure I saw the SeaVee at Grabbers on Sunday. Beautiful boat. Didn’t realize that was you or I would have said hello. We met very briefly at the Tipsy years ago. I’m a pilot and I was in Washington NC in connection with some SeaVee dealings last week lol. Cheers!

I wish we could’ve said hi! I’m sure if I saw your face and put a face too it I would recognize you

@chris_bjj123 2 ай бұрын

For those new to crossing, I would recommend a PLB attached to the life vest as well.

@NickOlinde Ай бұрын

Absolutely! Even for those experienced with crossing, I still HIGHLY recommend a PLB. You can never be too safe or careful when it comes to your life.

Great video. Suprised you didn't run the Don't Rock passage. Maybe the tide? Ran through there two weeks ago and had 5ft under the transducer.

Sometimes you have to do what you have to do haha luckily the period was not very tight so it could be done safely. Uncomfortable, but safely.

Nick or someone, can you post a route map or chart of trip from Stewart to Treasure Cay ?

@williamanderson9635 3 ай бұрын

What date was this crossing? What were the wind speeds and direction?

@NickOlinde 3 ай бұрын

It was on Wednesday March 27, 2024. The wind wasn’t too bad. Probably blowing 10-15 out of S/SE. That made it doable. A north wind would have been a whole other story

I’m near Stuart in PSL. How much is your fuel burn? Did you ever try the seakeeper ride?

@NickOlinde 2 ай бұрын

Ehh I don’t remember except but I probably burnt somewhere in the very general neighborhood of 200 gallons. And I have not tried the Seakeeper rides but I do have a boat with Zipwake (Albury) and then another boat with Humphree (Bahama) and both do those are the same thing as the rides. I really really like the systems

@dchas4842 3 ай бұрын

what passage did you take at whale? Did you go around or through Don't Rock?

Why not clear in Spanish? just curious and your content is great btw dawg

@NickOlinde 3 ай бұрын

I usually clear in Spanish, but the boats that I was crossing with were going to Grand so I just followed them all the way there and cleared there. I also had a little steering issue that I mentioned in the video so going to Grand gave me the opportunity to address that issue earlier
