We've been breaking down way too much and I've isolated the problem to the main fuel tank, so with the tank low and Margarida being back is time to do the smelly job. Soon after we moved from Cayo Holandes to Cayo Chichime where we found ourselves with the...

So, crazy as it may seem, I go for a spear and see lots of big fish that are too big to shoot but I get onto one that is just right with a bit of a plan that actually works....a first for the vlog something that I thought up actually worked. I have dinner ...
This episode is an underwater marathon. I show a bit of how I do things with the vlog with finding new reefs and capturing a sunset that never seems to come. It just gives a glimpse into the time it takes to arrange a shot and how much effort it requires -...
I show you viewers where exactly I am and how to get around the myriad of reefs. Some friends join me to go to an anchorage in the middle of the Hollandes Group. It is a little tricky to get into but well worth it - don't forget to get the Eric Bauhaus boo...
It starts out a perfect day with not a ripple on the water so I use the opportunity to pretend I have a breakdown and try to steer the boat with the dinghy by myself. Not too hard at all really.
The next day it starts to cloud up and I go for a quick spear...
I help out some Gunas with some fuel and they reward me with some fruit, 2 bread fruit a bunch of bananas and some lemons. I have never had bread fruit so I am eager to try it and so are my friends the bees.
We test out the Rocna in weed and it is surprisi...
Nature is awesome. An electical storm passes over Freedom with some very close hits. There is lightning everywhere and I am outside to enjoy it.
I am running out of food because of bad weather and no fish caught. After 3 days I have a short spear at the en...
I start out by setting a fish bait so we can go see crocodiles at night, unfortunately it didn't turn out as one would expect....no no really. Nothing but absence of quality.
I go for a spear and see another big grouper, a wreck and a huge dog snapper swim...
A drug bust close by but where are the drugs? Are they in that kayak being madly paddled by that crazy person. Could be....
I find some more crocodile tracks by drone and go and investigate. While there in the mangroves I find some bush tucker, or what I t...
This episode has it all except for Margarida. It is sad to see her go but it is for a good purpose, we need some funds for our haulout in Colombia and she is off to work and I am going to try to get some charter work. I think we all know the outcome of tha...
After spearing practice on the previous episode Margarida gives it a crack and goes for a hunt and gets a snapper, the hunting couple is ON! I show you our new dyneema lifelines and how to install it.
But it’s not all, watch it and have fun!
If you wou...
After Tampa Dad left we come back to one of our happy places, the big lagoon at Hollandes Keys.
As we are now in a wave of improvements Plukky had the brilliant idea to do some target practice so we can find out why am I missing a lot of the shots while sp...
Our Tampa Dad comes to stay with us and bring us some equipment too. Good on ya Dad!
We sail, we snorkel, we argue and we breakdown....yes a typical day on Freedom and we show Bill first hand. Our motor stops and we have to tow it with the dinghy. Ha, just...
Margarida gets some super fins and tests them out. She slices her leg open on some coral but takes it all in her stride, well fins I guess. I test Margarida's gun and I am bloody useless so I show you all how to shorten spear rubbers or even make your own....
We sail to another beautiful island, one that is visited by less than 3 cruisers every year. On the way, we tow the dinghy and Margarida notices a problem. While still sailing she spiderwoman's across fixes the problem all at 5 knots.
Payadus Island is pa...
While sailing back to Sab Blas I do some scouring work on the prop - it is full of growth and then the jib loses shape - something is wrong. The Halyard for the jib gets chafed through so we resnake the halyard back, it works out perfectly.
It's dinghy ti...
Margarida shows us she is the champ at catching crabs. I come second. Hey I don't care, I get to eat a log of crabs. The next day I am up early for a long ride out to some reefs that are a long way away. It doesn't all go to plan when the dinghy blows 1 se...
I leave Margarida early morning and head out for a spear. The trouble is, the sun is not high and it is a bit overcast so I can't see into the water and see the reefs. I stumble upon a reef when a set comes in and my motor dies right at the worst possible ...
Our food and water situation isn't good so we head back to the local Guna Village of Nargana to stock up. We hear there is a monkey in town kept as a pet so decided to check it and bring some bananas for it. We also hear that its' living condition are not ...
