BOAT PROBLEMS ON REMOTE BOOBY ISLAND - Ep 192
Join us as we anchor between the idyllic sanctuary that is Conception Island and Booby Cay in the Bahamas. This remote island is home to many both land and sea animals with scenic underwater views. We free dive, explore the sandy beach tackle problems faced while living on our tiny home and sailboat. When our starter battery dies, we can no longer start our engine and have to think of a way to safely get ourselves from one island to the next.

This week on Sailing Gypsy, immerse yourselves with us in this tranquil Sanctuary living off- grid and experiencing unique beauty that is idilic as it looks most of the time. Being self-sufficient in remoteness also means a heightened level of vulnerability, and it doesn’t go without its challenges.
Unforeseen Boat Problems on Remote Booby Island
The episode finds the Sailing Gypsy crew living in harmony with nature off the coast of Conception Island, a Bahamian gem established as one of the national parks of the Bahamas by 1964. Christopher Columbus had supposedly landed here in 1492.
Stunning Surroundings and Unexpected Boat Issues
Sailing Gypsy’s crew finds themselves surrounded by a sea of azure waters, clear like glass, revealing vibrant marine life, from the trembling touch of NASA groupers to swarms of countless turtles and lemon sharks. Despite this natural paradise, however, an unforeseen issue arises.
Solving Starter Battery Issues in Remote Booby Island
Having experienced several days of frustration with a dead starter battery, the crew must find a creative solution. Their external charger is only capable of trickling enough juice into their starting battery to fire up the engine for short periods. As they contemplate options ranging from YouTube hacks to sailing to neighboring islands in search of replacement parts or a spare battery, they devise an unconventional workaround.
Sailing Gypsy’s Troubleshooting Tactics
The crew manages to start the engine after disconnecting all loads and tapping into their house bank to provide enough juice for an initial startup, which temporarily resolves their immediate issue. However, they remain wary of potential long-term effects on their batteries.
The Road Ahead
Despite the setback, Sailing Gypsy presses onward to Georgetown in the Exuma Keys with a brief stopover at Long Island. Their experience emphasizes not only the joy of self-sufficiency and adapting in nature’s paradise but also the trials that accompany remote island living.
The Booby Island Revelation

Witness more tales of island adventure, trials, and triumphs as they navigate the high tides, beautiful landscapes, and unique marine life across breathtaking locales.
Though faced with seemingly insurmountable obstacles like starting battery failure in remote locations, Sailing Gypsy‘s crew remains steadfast. These tales of hardship and determination make for riveting watching that captivates viewers from across the globe.
