very nice footage, interesting Video, ciao Roland
Grazie Roland!
I'm enjoying your videos, I'd like to know where Camp Carol is? Will you be at the 2025 owners gathering January 18th.
We won't be there as we're in the Bahamas. CC is in Palm City. You will meet Carol at the owner's gathering.
Don't know how it gets any better than this!!! Lake Como just beautiful. Way to cap off a fabulous months long vacation with the Bernina Express over the Alps. Stunning.😘💖
It was truly magical.
Thank you for talking us with you. The wife and i love wachting. ❤
Thank you for watching. This was a fun one to put together.
Really great video with beautiful footage. Nice job. Loved Paros and brought back memories of Athens the city, Parthenon and Acropolis. Lots of tourists when we were there as well and oh so hot. 😘
We liked both - so different from each other. Paros was Lori's favorite greek Island of the trip.
Ha ha I hope you did 😂, we all have learn somewhere. I go twice a year so I’m Lucky that I know all the names etc. I absolutely love Naxos as you can tell , the o in Naxos is pronounced o as in top , loving the videos
Ha. Now I need to go back to get it right. Not that I need a reason. Absolutely loved it there. Thanks for watching. Paros next...
its pronounced Hora
That's what I get for listening to a local. Maybe I was having too much wine???
Nicely done, I look forward towards your next travel video's in Greece.
Thanks for watching. More on the way.
Great video as always! Inspiring me to pack it up and start the nomad life.
Take the leap. No regrets..
Greetings. Hope you have an awesome and safe trip. I’ve learned a lot from your channel, particularly about the Bahamas. Almost make me wish i had my boat on the east coast instead of the PNW. One of my life goals is to either ship our boat to the Mediterranean or rent one for a few months, visit Spain, Italy, Greece and Turkey. Thank you for letting us view your adventures. I’m surprised your channel isn’t bigger
Thank you for the kind words and for watching. Our number one goal is to inspire. Definitely set a goal and take the leap while you are healthy and able.
Wow! This was delightful. Way to book a trip. Love Amsterdam, so pretty and you captured some of the neatest places there. Definitely a great place to bike to get around. Love the lifestyle. Pancake knew you were leaving and did not like it one bit. 🐶💖
The Cakes always knows....
5:53 that’s what she said
Great plan Sir! Just got back back from Como. Have a great trip.
Thank you Axel. Good to hear from you!
Just for future reference...dogs, whether on or off leash, are not allowed on the beaches on Spanish Wells.
Good to know. Hadn't heard that. Do you live on island?
Probably a bit late but I had the same hoseclamp come loose on the intercooler intake lines. The oil comes from the crankcase breather venting into the intake of the turbo so any oil coming out of the crankcase breather is burned by the engine. It will end up going through the intercooler prior to getting burned in the engine.
I get it. Kinda, sorta. Thanks Lars!
Great vid., thanks, curious, do you realize, each of your sentences end an octave higher?
Must be the Artificial Intelligence...
Pump Out? How were the Pump Out services in the Bahamas?
No pump outs in the Bahamas. Everybody dumps overboard. Expert tip - never make water in a crowded anchorage, especially on an incoming tide..
@@LifeOfBryzzz so, do you have a Y valve to your holding tank?
Yes we do.
Love this place! It was the best dinner I had while cruising the Bahamas.
Agreed!
Have enjoyed your videos a few times over the last year, but as I was walking this morning i saw a vessel on the hard with the name "Island Time" and there you sit, I assume waiting out the season. We are on our hunt for the right vessel at the moment. Every ever need a hand for something let me know I live right outside the port and glad to lend a hand or help drive for provisions, season will be here before you know it!
Thank you so much. Yes, we are taking a break this summer to help care for an aging relative. Thanks for following. Hoping the storm gods stay away.
So glad. You enjoyed our island be sure to keep it quiet, I love my island and peoples.
It's a jewel!
Where’s the sass tho?
I spoke to Lori about amping up the sass....
Thanks for taking us on your trip. Couldn't Island Time run on one engine instead of tow? Thanks
Absolutely she could, however we were headed for a very tight marina and steerage at low speed and on one engine gets tricky. So, we decided to play it safe. Also, we subscribe to a year round towing service that offers unlimited towing.
@@cruisingonislandtime Thanks, I have read that some PDQ cruisers alternate running single engines and get extraordinary ranges at 6.5 Knots.
I have heard the same. I guess it's a balance between fuel savings and putting more engine hours on your boat.
The pattern that emerged is boating is expensive. And Newport particularly so. My wife and I did a trip from Long Island to Greenport to Newport to montauk and returned home to the tune of $1,580 in fuel alone. But that’s the cost of playing. It’s where I choose to spend my money. I don’t drive a nice car or have a pool or take crazy vacations to far away places But my boat and house are pretty nice.
Very true. But at least there are ways to mitigate the expense like mooring or anchoring, and keeping a conservative cruising speed. Either way, cruising isn't cheap and gotchas seem to show up when you least expect them. Thankfully the enjoyment outweighs the cost. As far as vices go, there are far many worse..
Not correctly narrated - the conch blowing is "owned" by a Nova Scotian name Frank Davis and the bagpipe preswentation is "owned" by Rick Hearn on Northern Ice of British Columbia Canada as the original Bagpipe show
Groovy episode.
Happy that you enjoyed!
Thanks for the review of the prime rib.... I'm heading that way in a couple months and kept hearing about it. Yours looked awesome and delicious, but if it's overly seasoned, that's not up my alley. And $60? I can use that elsewhere!
To each their own Jeff. Many people like it. But I've heard others say the same thing as I did. I'll pass next time...
There is an interesting history on Gin Su Mer. The development was started by Pierre Lamouroux, a Frenchman who made his fortune inventing and promoting the Ginsu Knife in the late 1970s and 1980s ... " it slices, it dices, it makes Julienne Fries" ... thus he named his development GinSuMer, or "knife of the sea".
That's awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you all had a great time in the Bahamas and a smooth ride back home. One day we'll get our boat to the Bahamas and hope we have the same great time. Be well and best wishes.
Thank you so much. Our advice is "Just Do It" !
Your video collection is awesome. Check your mail. Have sent you some suggestions for growing your channel. Have a nice trip.
Ok thanks!
A product named rocker stopper may reduce the rolling at anchor.
I'll check it out.
The odds that we were on a mooring in newport harbor while you were there are high, but sadly you weren't showing the particular area in your video. Oh well, that would have been cool to see. Glad you enjoyed Newport! And fun to see all the places we go to each summer.
We anchored for a few weeks there, went to Block, then came back and took a mooring for a bit.
I guess we got to Block Island maybe 3 weeks after you left. Glad to see it showcased here. We love taking our boat there every year.
Block is awesome. Quintessential New England.
Very nice info video. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Fun video, I'm on the edge of my seat to see if you got the golf cart fixed.
Big cliffhanger.... Actually, we're just testing to see who watches until the end...
You are right mike….see you in Anna-POLIS
I believe that the correct pronunciation of the island is Elu-terra.
I believe I heard that in Anna Polis..
Very informative video and interesting comments , along with great scenery .
Glad you enjoyed it
This was another great video. I don't think you will find more beautiful, clear, blue/green water than in the Bahama's. Never tire of that sight. Pancake is darling and love to watch her run. Love the pile of handmade signs cruisers leave. What a cool idea. Watch out for the sandbars, everyone gets stuck on one eventually. Just another adventure. Love to you all. 💖🐾
Thanks Judy. The Exumas have some amazing water with every imaginable shade of blue and green. With 700+ islands in the Bahamas there is always something to do and explore. Pancake is living her best life...
Lovely video. Bahamas cruising at its finest.
Thank you John. It really is!
Man, there were some parties back in the day at that SCYC pool !
Seemed pretty quiet while we were there.
Love your videos, thank you for your time and effort.
Glad you like them!
Hey Brian- great video. I noticed the two sided Dometic frig/freezer. We have the same one and it is great way to add more food for those Exuma trips. Keep posting.
Thanks Tom. We definitely love the usefulness but are not very happy with the performance. The first one lasted 5 months and was replaced under warranty. This one lasted 7 months then one of the sides failed to cool and the compressor smelled like burning electronics. So, we are running just one side, in freezer mode. We'll do another warranty claim when we get back to the US. And, the phone app to control and monitor is flaky at best. Not great for the price point of the unit.
Well done Bryan & Lori…. Always interesting…warm regards
Thank you for watching. We are happy that you enjoyed the video Maurice.
Hi guys, Vincent from Sherazade, we have met at Great harbour cay, just found out your video, nice to see my sailboat at 6:40 lol hope you doing well and having fun, say Hi to John & Sally for me and safe travel
Hi Vincent. Glad that you enjoyed and found the proof that we were both there for that storm. We are currently in Eleuthera and starting to make our way north. Safe travels.
Wow, what a great holding tank piping design. Kudos to PDQ! A dozen tails for $40? Outstanding. Great looking paella too.
The tails and paella were great. Like all good things, they ended up in the holding tank.....
Dude ! That hose above your diverter valve is kinked ... I bet Easy Riders doesn't have any kinked hoses.
Easy Riders is as kinky as they come !!
I can not believe. how many of your Videos I have watched . We have spent quite a bit of time together in the last 2 days and I never put two and two together ...I guess that is what a senior moment is . Brian with an I and Linda ...... great job on the channel
Lol Brian. That's hysterical. Not recognizing me is understandable but not recognizing Pancake or Lori ??? That's almost unforgivable.... Great meeting you both, and Hemingway. Hope we cross paths soon.
Thanks for the memories❤
You're welcome Linda.
Good to see you guys again. I think the Bahama's water is the most beautiful, clear, blue anywhere. The meals you all prepare are incredible, 5 star and make me hungry!!!! You do ok for yourselves. Crazy about the Cake's and her beautiful spirit make my day. What a terrific mate. I see Lori holding on to her leash on LuLu and wonder if she has ever attempted to jump???? I know Lori would be getting wet to bring her back aboard in a heartbeat. Loved this video!! Enjoy another fab winter. 🐾 💖 Hope mom's doing better. 🙏
Thanks Jude. Good to be back on Island Time - literally and figuratively. I think Cakes learned to swim while I was gone. She's living her best life. Cakes hasn't leaped into water yet but she does leap off at shore. Not sure she really knows the difference. And yes, nobody goes hungry or thirsty for too long in the cruising lifestyle.
Happy to see yall back, I really enjoy your videos.
Thank you. Had to fly back to the States to help care for an aging parent. And got Covid there which lengthened the stay. Back in action now and just moved to the Exhumas.
When did you actually cross? How’s the weather been over there. Been blowing like hell here in Fla since start of January.
We crossed on Jan 10. The weather windows are few and far between this year. Maybe 1 or 2 good crossing days in any month. Lots of wind from repeated cold fronts.
