I lead wilderness trips for years and every time I took a kid on a trip it reignited my appreciation for the experience. To see there wonder and excitement would remind me how lucky I was to be there. If you see the same thing over and over you start to forget how special things are. Kids always reminded me to appreciate.
Well said Marc! Both Maki’s and my parents taught us to slow down or stop and take in the moment no matter how many times you’ve seen it. Even though we saw dozens and dozens of sunsets in the Bahamas it became a moment of “live theater” as we sat with the boys on the transom steps each evening to watch the beautifully intense sunsets and appreciate each day the amazing clear waters. Learning to slow down and appreciate the beauty in every day is a blessing and a lesson we are passing on to our boys. You’re doing a great thing with the wilderness trips! Continue to enjoy each trip and all the best! ~Andy and Maki
It's so great to see you now enjoying what you set out to do on the water, and how blessed you guys are as a family, to be spending so much time together during the twins formative years. Each day spent closely together, will be life defining for the boys. Gee whiz it's nice seeing the world opening up to them, and watching their adventures unfold. And what great unwater photography. Nice.
Hi David! Thank you very much for your kinds words, we really appreciate it 😊. The boys are definitely seeing, learning and doing many new things throughout this adventure. One of the greatest lessons is not living in fear but pushing through to experience some of the greatest treasures life has to offer. As a family we have pushed through many fears in the past year, bringing us closer as a family, appreciating, respecting and being grateful for each other and this amazing life experience that continues to unfold daily. Thank you for taking time out of your day to come along on this adventure with us. All the best and stay safe. ~Andy
Andy and Maki, thank you for sharing your journey with us. your video's are very well done and it is obvious you have been in the industry! your in depth observations are also very well done. I do look forward to more of your sharing of day to day family adventures! I also want to comment on Maki's fishing skills and superb filleting of her catches. When I crossed the Atlantic many years ago, I took pride in returning a complete fish, minus the fillets, back to the deep! thanks again for sharing with us!
Hi Jeremy, thank you very much for your kind comments and it makes us happy to know you are enjoying the videos. 👍. Our goal has always been to share this experience in a fun and informative way so others can enjoy or perhaps engage their dreams of doing something similar. Maki and the boys are really enjoying fishing at sea and I agree with you Maki is doing a fantastic job catching, filleting and cooking the beautiful fish she has caught! Stay tuned there are more videos to come! All the best! Andy
Andy and Maki, Another great adventure and video. Thank you for sharing it with us. Can't wait to see the next one. Be safe and have fun. Gary and Linda, Clayton, CA
Excellent video. I have sailed in a catamaran Lagoon 45 and 52 for years and have opted running the bridle line from the starboard to the port cleat. The recommended way is the way you are setup, but the only time that I have been tangled was the time that I used your setup. As long as your lines are in good shape as well as your cleats you will have no problem. Also line rubbing noise will diminish and mostly no tangling when the wind changes direction and boat start spinning. Fair winds Enjoy
Everything about your production is exceptionally brilliant. Thanks for sharing your adventure. Your videography really captures the beauty of the Bahamas. Level vibes as always.
Thank you Paul for the kind comment 😊. Like most things in life, sailing full time as we are requires pushing through some fears, which leads to new experiences, challenges and rewards. Maki and I are very grateful to be able to do this together with Oliver and Lukas as they are learning and growing through this amazing life experience. Thank you for taking time out of your day to join the adventure 👍. Be safe and all the best. ~Andy
We’re moving right along and the boys are learning so much out here. It’s always amazing to hear them telling their grandparents all the things they’ve seen and learned! 😜😁

Thanks for joining the adventure Chris! The Bahamas beaches, islands and water are stunningly beautiful but I’m sure Cuba has its own crazy beautiful places too 😁😜
We have the exact same headsets! Marriage savers! Love the Mahi! Man...we are so jealous! We will be heading to Bahamas after hurricane season :-) See you there!
The headsets are a must, at least we think so. So much easier and safer to be able to talk to each other is a calm, quiet voice VS yelling over the wind. Maki has been reeling in one Mahi after the other...freezers filling up! 😜. Safe travels....see you in the Bahamas! 👍
Love love love your videos! Also wondering if Maki could share more about the plants she has on board? And do you dive your mooring ball when you Moore? Safe travels looking forward to seeing many more videos from you guys!! ⛵️
Hi KM I’ll ask Maki to share perhaps in a video what plants, mainly herbs she grows on board for her and our little Floating Chefs 😁 Regarding mooring balls. To date we have only picked up a mooring ball when they are well maintained by a city or marine sanctuary park. Places like Annapolis, St Augustine and the Exuma Park in the Bahamas. This doesn’t mean they are perfect but we know they are maintained regularly. That said, anytime I can put on a mask and take a look, I do. Thank you for joining the adventure!
Andy I’m a couple years from pulling the trigger on a CAT and I was wondering if you had a spreadsheet that covered all the funds you set aside … to include what’s needed for down on base boat, and all the aftermarket.. assuming all that was cash not added to boat loan. Just looking for a bit of insight on how to budget for a lp45.
Greetings to you guys! from White Rock BC, Canada! boy that was a long delay between videos...hoping everything is going great...love the adventures! Make catches a Mahi! lol
Hello Tom from gorgeous BC Canada! 👍 everything is fantastic thanks and thank you for taking time out of your day to come along on the adventure 😁. It has been a crazy busy few months but we are pushing to get videos out more often, I promise. Stay tuned there lots more to come!!
Great video well done. I wanted to ask how as a crew you manage seasickness and what you use on board your lovely boat. Are there medications and/or natural ways for both adults and your boys?
In general we all seem to have gotten our “sea legs” and do fine on most days. That said there have been sea conditions that have turned all our stomachs, some more than others. Staying hydrated with water is key. On rougher days we pretty much don’t go down into the cabins. We haven’t used any medications but we do have both Relief Bands and EmeTerm bands on board which seem to really help. The key is to put them on early or before departure if you know sea conditions will be a bit rough. www.reliefband.com/products/reliefband®-premier?variant=8348144795691¤cy=USD&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIneLG4PPJ8QIVt2xvBB1vDQ-AEAQYASABEgIdPvD_BwE www.emeterm.com/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIuLnX9fPJ8QIV6WtvBB1q7Au_EAAYASAAEgLqm_D_BwE Hopes this helps!
Looking good… stay safe guys… i have been following a few sailing channels who are now in the Caribbean area n have just contracted COVID…. Avoid crowded areas
Hi Araz, thanks for joining the adventure and your comment/concern. For the past year much of our time has been on the boat at anchor and in general away from everyone. We were still very careful in the Bahamas even though everyone traveling there must provide a negative COVID test to enter the country and then complete 14 days of monitoring via the Bahamian Health Department. Nothings 100% but we exercise extreme caution even to this day. We don’t go to any crowded places, nothing indoors and continue to use masks. We’ve been safe this far, we can certainly continue.
Thank you for the comment and suggestion. So the bridle comes from the factory originally under the bobstay cables however this is even worse when the bridle rises with boat movement as it’s constantly hitting, rubbing and putting pressure on the cables. Since our L45 arrived, Leopard has moved the bridle to the outside of the cables so it’s free to rise however far it needs to which is how we have ours setup and has worked fine until this unique situation in the Bahamas where the current flows from to ends of the mooring field and in this case caused the mooring ball to not only travel under our bridge deck but also completely under the port hull. Just an incredible amount of water flow from multiple directions. We won’t be mooring (if we can help it) in a situation like this again. Anyway thank you so much for your comment, suggestion and concern. We really appreciate it! ~Andy
@@sailingsvoliluki6938 I’m asking because I noticed you guys were catching lobster in this video clip and seeing as lobster season in the Bahamas closes on March 31st this is kind of worrying...
@@ashleighsean you can relax. we sailed with Oliluki and there is no way any of us would catch Lobsters after March 31st. The rules were explained very clear upon entry and nobody wants to get into trouble with the Bahamas authorities. Honestly if you wanted lobster out of season all you had to do was wait for a local to approach you with a bag full of fresh caught lobsters for sale. That is something to be disturbed about.
@@ashleighsean thanks for the comment and for taking the time to join our little adventure. No worries even though we just posted this video, the footage you are watching and the lobster we caught was well before the close of lobster season in the Bahamas. We as well as every cruiser we met was very aware of the closing date of lobster season however the locals continued to come alongside our boat nearly every day through April and the start of May with live lobsters they just caught, well outside of lobstering season!
I think the poor design for the bowsprit comes down to what Leopard's primary market for their boats is, and that's the charter market. Charter boats don't fly color sails so don't need a bowsprit, and it's design was probably an afterthought. . It sounds from your description that it might happen again so maybe it's worth looking at boats like Seawind or Outremer and seeing how they rig their bowsprit and maybe change up the fitting too mirror them? I had a retractable bowsprit on my monohull. That night be worth looking into.
Thanks fir the comments and suggestions Adam. To be honest this was really the first time we had a problem. The bowsprit set up works well and it turns out is very similar or the same as many other cats out there. The current flowing from two different directions at the mooring field in the Bahamas was and is unique and now that we’ve had this experience we know what to look for in the future. Thankfully it was a very inexpensive fix and we’re back to flying the code zero! 😁
Please note that the lobster/crawfish season in The Bahamas is closed from April 1st to July 31. If you are going to visit a country [especially my country], respect the laws that are in place.
Hi Ann-Marie you are absolutely correct about the dates for lobster/crawfish season however, even though we just posted this video, the lobster we caught was in mid-March and we did check the laws as we always do no matter where we are in the world. The Bahamas was an amazing experience for us all and we look forward to visiting again. 😊
I stopped hunting lobster the last day of March and every cruiser I met did the same. Then in May I was in Bimini to check out and a local at the docks was trying to sell me a dozen fresh lobsters every day.
Hi Jon, we’re working on bringing videos out more often. We know it’s a long stretch between them but we have several other things on our plate in addition to filming, editing, sailing, homeschooling and trying to make this as robust a life experience for our boys. That all said, we have a good amount of footage in the can so to speak as well as a few special ideas we’ll be sharing ASAP so stay tuned....there’s mire to come!

Another great video guys. So sorry for the bow sprit. Hope all goes well and look forward to the update. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Douglas! The bowsprit was a bummer but it’s all part of the adventure. Just $74 bucks and it’s all fixed and good as new! 😁
The editing in this video is truly amazing.. LOVE your videos!! Seems like something that would be on TV or Netflix!!!
Thanks Sean!

try one less wrap on the winch when raising the main sail. It should stop that noise

An amazing place!
