Thanks for the informative video, loving the Berry Islands. The bay where you got fuel opens and is arguably the best hurricane hole in the Bahamas, protected from all winds.
I appreciate that! I'm blown away that people actually like watching along, I was just doing it to catalog what we did so I can look back on it when I get to be an old man :)
@@SailingSymphony you guys are doing what many of us want to or maybe will do in future. Your vids are great at giving a glimpse into that future. Can I ask do you feel the 45’s upper lounge windage affects the boat or is it not significant? I would much prefer it was an option rather than standard.
Most outboards are designed to be driven sitting to the right side. With your left hand. It’s a fine point but among other reasons , when you are alone in the boat your weight counters the prop rotation. Keep having fun guys!
It's funny, I'm mixed up with which hand feels comfortable for doing different things. I write right-handed, bowl left-handed. Shoot pistol right-handed, rifle left-handed. For some reason sitting on starboard felt more comfortable, and the tilt button is on that side of the engine. But William and Erin like sitting port when driving.
Thanks for watching! Yeah we were talking about where we are going to go last night and our distances seem to get shorter every time we talk about it. No need to rush past all the neat stuff every place has to offer :)
Definitely more info on how you get into the work groove and the internet groove too! Which equipment is useless and what works well for video calls etc would be greatly appreciated.
Definitely a struggle at the moment, I can dig into that in Q&A for sure. I finally got our gear working! So the internet issues are hopefully behind us.
Another stellar video Todd and well done Will for calling it right on the anchor and your new tender skills! See you in a few days in Western Bay hopefully!
Love your channel. Catching up on all your videos. May follow your example but with a power cat. Would prefer non vocal music at the beginning of vids but thankfully what you have is short lived!
Yeah it's not everybody's cup of tea but the song got us through some tough times and was the inspiration for our boat name. I think most folks just skip over it :)
That was a great video. Glad you are taking us on your learning adventures. Had to laugh at Erin eating that slim thingy and sallowing it whole not even chewing 😂
Putting it on the Q&A list, I've got a lot to say about it. Short story is that just getting a hotspot and a sim card is your best bet. As we go to other countries I hope it will be that easy.
Great topic for Q&A! There are certainly things we should have taken a look at holding off on, and there are some things that were rock-solid choices. Watermaker is a game-changer. LTE modem for internet, not so great at the moment. I'll try to cover this in detail in our Q&A video. Thanks!
My new favorite Catamaran family You tube channel.
Thanks so much!
Looking forward to your new everyday adventures.🤙
Thanks! This week has been a little slower so not sure how the video will turn out but something usually comes together :)

Absolutely. It's amazingly protected in there. Hoping to go back in a couple of months :)
Your channel deserves more views…. this was a great vid of beginning the adventure. Thanks for sharing it.

Another really good video!
You guys are taking it nice and easy. Way to go.
Thanks for sharing.

Great narration! You are a natural. Need more video of you stepping out of your comfort zone. Keep the videos coming.
Thank you so much! I'm on it, kite boarding and scuba are next on the agenda for pushing the comfort zone :)

So dang exciting guys, nice job. Look forward to the Q and A.
Thanks so much!
Enjoy those sunsets!
Oh man we can't get enough of them.

We are heading that way Monday bright and early, let me know if there is room at that anchorage!
E, you are so brave. Long slimy unknown conch anatomy!!! I’m out on that one.
Ha! You would have done the same thing! It was not so bad... LOL!
😁
Defo need some clears up at that helm station
You're tellin me! Supply chain issues delayed getting that done but we head back to Florida in a couple of weeks to get our enclosure.

It looked pretty slimy, Erin has no fear.
Simply loved the Ep.. By the way what was that thing from the conch?
He called it the 'pistol', it's a part of their digestive system. They also call it 'Bahamian Viagra', supposed to be an aphrodisiac :)
@@SailingSymphony Yaaw... Then the boat must have experienced a lot of wobbling that night!! :-P :-P
Nice Video
Thanks
What lsland you going next ???
What was the easiest way you found to get WiFi there?
Putting it on the Q&A list, I've got a lot to say about it. Short story is that just getting a hotspot and a sim card is your best bet. As we go to other countries I hope it will be that easy.
How are you finding your new upgrades to your boat? Anything you would change?

Oh the conch pissel - it’s like a salty gummy bear! Todd did you eat it too?
Ha! I was just an observer :)
Rain won;t your eyes if you wore a plastic goggles (Home Depot Variety). If all fail, wear your snorkeling mask.
I should have grabbed some goggles! In theory this won't be a problem at the helm in about 3 weeks when we get our enclosure.
