We sail to the wild and remote Ragged Islands of the Bahamas—where boat life gets seriously off-grid.
This episode is all about untouched sailing, spearfishing for our dinner, exploring crystal-clear waters, cooking fresh beach feasts, and soaking in epic bonfire nights under the stars. But it’s not all paradise—when boat problems strike in the middle of nowhere, we have to improvise without the right parts onboard.
Our adventure includes:
⚓ Sailing into the Ragged Islands (and leaving the crowds behind)
🐟 Spearfishing and catching a fresh hogfish dinner
🐾 Letting the cats run wild on remote beaches
🛠️ Boat repairs in paradise—because things always break at the worst time
🔥 A magical beach bonfire at Racoon Cay
🤿 Diving in aquarium-like water
🚨 A near drone disaster…
This is off-grid cruising at its rawest—remote, wild, and unforgettable.
