Boat Life in the Remote Bahamas Hits Different | Day 6-7
Still tucked away in the Ragged Islands, we’re waiting on the right weather window to make our next big move south to Colombia… but life out here doesn’t exactly slow down.
While we wait, it’s time to get a few jobs ticked off. We break out the sewing machine onboard and get to work repairing our canvas, replacing the clear panels in the biminey, and even sewing zips onto our flexible solar panels to make them easier to manage underway.
Of course, it’s not all work… the boys head out and manage to catch a fresh grouper and lobster, which turns into the ultimate beach bonfire catch & cook on a remote island.
Nights like this are hard to beat.
But the waiting finally comes to an end. A weather window opens up—and just like that, it’s go time. We scramble to prep for the passage, cook up food, grab fuel, and get Escapade ready to head offshore once again.
Before we leave, we squeeze in one last bit of fun… taking the underwater scooter out for a spin in these unreal Bahamian waters.
Next stop: Colombia 🇨🇴
