Today we are living out our dream of crossing from Key Largo Florida to The Bahamas! We are departing Key Largo right at sun up and are planning to make Chub Cay in the Bahamas by sun down. We are looking forward to the beautiful Bahamas waters and hoping to clear custom without too much trouble!

It seems as though the word "Epic" has been used so often that it has lost its meaning. This It Truly Epic!! Talk about a Bucket List Check Off!! I'm so very proud and happy for you. You and your channel have been both uplifting and inspiring. I had a smile on my face the whole way through. Congratulations and Well Done!

So great to see you guys made it !!! My dad had a 49 ft SeaRay in the early 2000’s . He made the Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Tennessee loop several times !!! Always talked about doing the Great Loop until mom got sick !!! So this has been a thrill to watch . And my dad plans on starting at the beginning and watching it all the way through as well!!!

A great video of a fine achievement by you guys, in my Australian Navy career I know the pressure of planning and executing everything that gets you through the open sea to your destination ,it gets easier each voyage but take time to pat yourselves on the back cheers 😊

Woohooo! The excitement and sense of accomplishment are both palpable. Love the aerial shots of the boat in that gorgeous water…a still shot of that is definitely suitable for framing (or, better yet, turn it into a big mural). I was laughing out loud at Ollie’s personal shade tent …the towels, the clamps, the fan blowing in his face - all exactly the same set-up we’ve done for Bailey to try to keep him happy. 💕 😂

YES! Thank you so much! Ollie was a trooper! The bridge got so hot! But the hoopty shade tent worked magic :)

It's been about 25 years, but I have vivid memories of cruising the out islands aboard your dear friends magnificent sail boat the thrill of pulling into uninhibited coves dropping anchor in 25 ft. Of water looking down at the anchor and saying yup looks good right there never had I seen before of after such crystal clear waters.

@cruisingandromeda 14 күн бұрын

David, I agree! That feeling is unmatched. The water is absolutely incredible! Seeing marine life right under your boat was something I will never forget! Thank you for your support through this journey :)

So pleased for you guys making it to the Bahamas and it looks like the Gulf Stream didn't treat you too bad. Now that you've gotten your first taste of Island time and probably some conch fritters, are you ever gonna wanna leave the Bahamas? I know how I felt the first time. Those smiles on the ride to C&I and hoisting the courtesy flag said it all! 👍👍

How big is the fuel tank on Andromeda and how far can you travel before refuelling?

@cruisingandromeda 14 күн бұрын

We have two, 250 gallon fuel tanks I believe. The faster we go, the more we need to fuel. Slower speeds are much smarter lol....but sometimes you just gotta go! lol
