Sailors Dre and the crew lift anchor near Georgetown, sailing off on SV Naida, a Hunter 34. A real-life sailing day unfolds.

In this video, we’ll be sailing the Bahamas Banks without any experience! We’ll be sailing from Nassau to Staniel Cay, and it’s sure to be an adventure!

The projects have finally ceased and adventure awaits! This week we get to reap the benefits of all the hard work we’ve put in as we set sail to the Bahamas.

Brett tries fishing again and although we’re transiting the “fishbowl of the Bahamas” he manages to catch us … seaweed!

After months of chasing a little bump in the neck all around the Bahamas, we finally have our answer. It isn’t what we wanted to hear.

Going back to the US so soon was never in the cards. But alas, the universe had other plans for us.

Just as start to enjoy our time in Long Island, we are confronted with two huge problems. We start to re-think our entire sailing plan.

What is your idea of a perfect day? Well for us, it is sailing our boat the entire day with fair winds and following seas…

We find a big problem with our anchor snubber as we lose an important piece overboard. It takes a few tries… but we eventually have a working snubber.

We finally reach the Exumas! After anchoring up, we become trendsetters as a ton of other boats anchor up all around us in our first spot.

After months of near solitude and small towns, we finally hit the big time. The big city with the traffic, the noise, the lights and oh my the cruiseships!

As we pulled up our anchor at our previous spot, we found that the windlass (which pulls our anchor off the sea floor) was making EXTREMELY concerning sounds.
