"Allen's Cay" is a group of 3 islands that are just North of Highborne Cay in the Exumas. Honestly, there's not much here aside from the local group of iguanas that roam the island. Well, that's not true - there's also a beach shack and the ruins of an old...
We've discovered the most beautiful beach in the Bahamas. It's on the East side of Shroud Cay in the Exumas. GORGEOUS!
Go there, then take the dinghy through the northern-most mangrove creek until to you reach the Atlantic side of the island, then BOOM!
...
Rachel's Bubblebath at Compass Cay is a hidden gem in the Bahamas.
The Bubblebath is located on the North East tip of the island, and is accessible by hiking about 1/2 mile up a very shallow creek that lets out on the North West corner of the island.
It'...
Boat kids swim, snorkel, home school, sail, explore, hike, fish, and live exciting young lives that are infinitely different from the overwhelming majority of their land-based piers.
So we went as far South as Rudder Cut Cay. While we were there, we decid...
The Bahamas are a wonderful place, don't get me wrong, but one thing that can be tough to find around these parts is EXCITEMENT. However, if you've got a dinghy, a 15hp+ motor, a tow-rope, and a surfboard - you've got all the ingredients for an unforgettab...
In this vlog, we anchor our sailboat at Rudder Cut Cay so that we can go snorkeling at the famous mermaid piano. It's AWESOME!
When I began to edit this video, I realized that all of the footage was shot on the GoPro. At first, this doesn't sound like a b...
We've sailed to an island with green sea turtles called Little Farmer's Cay.
Oh, here's a highlight for your viewing pleasure... witness, in this video, Molly's first attempt at blowing a conch horn. It's just great.
This was a great little island. It's ...
We're stuck on the boat, at Black Point, in the Exumas, during a cold front, on Tambi's birthday.
12 hours of editing down the drain. Oh man, it was going to be a good one too! My computer froze as I was exporting the first edit of this video. File ruined...
In this vlog, Ben bakes bread on a boat using simple ingredients. Tambi helps a little too.
I've made bread 3 times now. Since I'm now a qualified, experienced, and dare I say EXPERT baker, I've decided to share my bread-baking skills with the world.
Thi...
We love Black Point, Exumas so much that we've dubbed it our official Bahamian "Home Away From Home".
The people are wonderful, there is a grocery store, restaurants, laundry facility, and showers. Everything is laid back, and things move a bit more slowl...
Bitter Guana Cay is right around the corner from Staniel Cay, but there's wild iguanas that live on the island.
This video is short. Simply didn't take enough video footage. DOH!
However, I've got a special surprise at the end that should make up for the ...
This little video was shot at O'Brein's Cay in the Exumas at a little spot that people refer to as "The Coral Gardens". Lovely place, just gorgeous. We took the video using our GoPro and it when we looked at the footage it just seemed too nice to chop up. ...
In this vlog, we go snorkeling in Thunderball Grotto and also see the famous swimming pigs at Big Major's Cay.
I feel like this could be one of our best videos yet. I feel that way, I suppose, because it took be days to edit this thing. We had so much foo...
Tambi really surprised me when she touched a SHARK!
Lots of fun. There are so many of them! In fact I didn't realize how large nurse sharks get... many of them are HUGE!
Now, here's a little thing that I learned. Nurse sharks can bite you. Initially, I t...
Johnny Depp's island, also known as Little Halls Pond, is the location where Tambi commits the heinous act of trespassing in this video.
That's pretty interesting and all, but first, let me tell you about Rocky Dundas...
We knew about Rocky Dundas long b...
We sail to Warderick Wells, inside the Exuma Cays Land And Sea Park, in search of the blow hole on Boo Boo Hill.
Warderick Wells is a great place! It's inside the Exumas Land & Sea Park - so that means no spearfishing, no trash disposal, no food, no f...
We spend time repairing a ripped sail by hand while at Shroud Cay in the Exumas.
There's also this bit where Tambi jumps in the water with a shark.
By the way - did you know that sharks LOVE oatmeal?
Who would have known?
Then, there's this great part t...
We go snorkeling at HIGHBOURNE CAY, Exumas, Bahamas.
Lovely little island, but also VERY expensive. This is a private island that caters to the big super-cruisers and sport fishers that have made their way over from South Florida.
The cost of a single ni...
We arrive at Hoffman's Cay in the Berry Islands and set off for some blue hole exploration.
This was a great little stop at a laid back, and fairly remote anchorage.
We do some snorkeling, some blue hole exploration, and some general beach stuff.
Oh - an...
We drop anchor at Great Harbour just in time for a serious cold front to blow in. Luckily, there's spiny lobster for dinner.
The fun part is that even though we have an excellent spot for wind protection as the weather clocks around from the West to the N...
The time has come for us to sail our small sailboat across the Gulf Stream towards the Bahamas.
Now, instead of making progress South down the protected waters of the Atlantic ICW, we must turn our little ship East, and head out into the open waters of th...
In this vlog, we buy enough provisions for 6 months in the Bahamas and prepare for the gulf stream crossing.
Only a few last minute things to do now before we make the jump towards Bimini.
Scary stuff. Yikes!
Thanks for watching!!
Ben, Tambi, & Mol...
We traveled the entire Atlantic ICW from Norfolk to Miami aboard our trusty Endeavour 32 sailboat the S/V Sandflea!
...but now... we're stuck in Miami.
Turns out that these winter "Northers" are no joke. Persistent, strong winds for days and days on end ...
We go through many icw bridges as we sail South along the intracoastal waterway, getting closer and closer to the Bahamas everyday!
Things change the further South that you get along the ICW. The water gets clearer, the people get crazier, and the bridges...
Something AWESOME is coming!
