Hi guys. You know....I think having meet ups on the beach and sharing with old and new friends must be what it's all about. You guys look like your having so much fun. Thx and have a great holiday season. Trev from Campbell River BC
Hi Trev! Happy holidays to the 3 of you as well. And yes it's what sailing is all about in our minds. Meeting great people and enjoying every moment because life is too short!
I have to say I'm most certainly not a fan of swimming in close proximity of sharks. I know of a few people that think nothing of it, but I say good luck to them as long as I don't have to be part of that dive group! I loved the blend of overhead drone footage with the underwater scenes. It's around minus 6 degrees Celsius in this part of Maine right now so it does my soul good to watch your videos from the Bahamas. Thanks for sharing another episode.👍👍👍
I would agree in general I do not like being too close to sharks. But the longer I am in the water with them the more I feel comfortable and can start to read some the there body language. For an example a shark will typically lower its front fins and moves up and down the water column when hunting. That's not to say a shark wont get excited and mistake my hand for food but in general it's a mistake and they have little to no interest in us. We really like having the drone and we are trying to blend it so we dont go overboard so thanks for the comment. Ya it was -22c last night here in Canada. Happy holiday's.
I would be exploring all those sunk boats too,that kayaking looked mighty fun too.The reef exploring is always great and I always wonder if I could do that.You are getting really good at spear fishing too.Bet those fresh fish are great!!Thanks for sharing 🙏
We love to explore. So may beautiful things to see and do. Thanks Mark. I guess practice makes better in this case. I did feel like I was really getting in the grove. I miss the fresh fish and can't wait to get back. cheers.
Foxy loved the sharks!..and what an interesting read about the stranded naked boat. Lots of history there and 20 years of cheeseburgers and parties hahha. Happy holidays to the family!
I'm glad Foxy liked them. there was quite a few. That boat really has quite the story for sure. where did you read up on them? Happy Hoilidays to you guys too. hope its filled with lots of love and good times.
That's the biggest problem. We use to have two but we only kept Cory's because of the lack of space. We're thinking of getting an inflatable paddle board instead. Thanks for watching Norman
Beautiful!! I would love to be able to get back into a kayak, legs don't bend like they used to lol. Hope you have an awesome holiday season, and a great 2022.
That's a shame. if you really like to kayak we have seen a tried a couple nice open kayaks that require very little flexing. Have a great Holiday John.
@@WildlyIntrepid Just found a totally bad engine mount. Easy fix, but tying to find one may be an issue. Oh, gotta love owning a sailboat. She at times has her own agenda.....
@@WildlyIntrepid It's a Yanmar 4jhe. I inquired last week about on with the local dealer. Indication was it's not a normal stock item. Was given a marine transmission shop that may be able to source a comparable part. Yanmar charges $165 each, Yikes...
Manjack always has great fish. If you go a little further north to Spanish Cay, you’ll find monster hogs….and sharks lol. Jurassic Park north of Green Turtle. All in all, been going there for 20 years. No better place on earth.
Our first year we after we heard about ciguatera we were very nervous and avoided alot of fish on the list. But started to feel super limited on what we could eat. Slowly we started eating snapper and grouper again but not the huge fish. That said I have not hear many stories around the islands. We still stay away from barracuda and some jacks. Our go to fish to spear mostly for taste are hogfish, snapper, grouper, porgy and a few others if we can't find those. Cheers

Kayaking is so much fun, to bad mine won’t fit on my little boat. Might have to find a smaller one. Thanks for sharing, be safe

Grea tvideo!!! Can't wait to head over there myself. Next week!!!
I know right! its coming quick. maybe we will see you over there. we will be a month behind if we dont get trapped here by our incompetent govn.

It always has it's own agenda ;) What kind of engine do you have? With Yanmar it was easy to find an order a new one.

I think we did pay $125 or something like that 2-3 years ago. Hopefully you find something cheaper. Good luck.
Hey guys🖐

Wow 20 years. I totally can understand why though it's such an incredible place. Spanish Cay is private right?
you keep talking about that porgie. gonna see if that is fished/sourced. really interested in trying it. but....that snow has to go!
we have seen it in Florida. I imagine you should be able to find it. let us know what you think of it.
@@WildlyIntrepid What? There is no snow in Florida! Shame on you! White beaches are not made of snow! LOL!
Only snow in Canada. LOL Can't wait to see Florida though!
have you guys noticed ciguatera in the bahamas much? what do you avoid and what do you find ok?
Our first year we after we heard about ciguatera we were very nervous and avoided alot of fish on the list. But started to feel super limited on what we could eat.

@@WildlyIntrepid you guys are awesome thanks
