Blue Holes & ENGINE WOES - Sailing in the BAHAMAS [Ep. 18]

Sailing the blue waters of Eleuthera, we party with the locals, find an uncharted blue hole, free dive with sharks, and find a problem with our engine we must fix before we can continue on our voyage through the Bahamas and on to the Caribbean.

In this episode we continue to explore the island of Eleuthera in the Bahamas. We have some ups and downs this time. We make a few mistakes, but quickly figure out how to fix them.

About Us:

So who are we?

We are Kate and Curtis, a YouTube sailing couple and travel vloggers, with our sailing rescue dog Roxy, aboard SV Sweet Ruca, a J-Boats J/46 monohull.

We used to be sailboat racers on the great lakes (we still are…kind of). We bought a sailboat, re-fit it, with a goal to sail around the world, doublehanded, via the capes (Cape Horn and the Cape of Good Hope). Some say this is the wrong way or the hard way. To us, the challenge is part of the journey.

We will see if this will happen or not, as the “new normal” has put quite a damper on our travels. For now, we are holed up in the Windward Islands of the Caribbean making videos and scuba diving.

We are not Sailing La Vagabonde, Expedition Evans, Sailing Doodles, Sailing Uma, Project Atticus, MJ Sailing, Gone With the Wynns, or SV Delos.

We aren’t Vendee Globe Race or Volvo Ocean Race sailors, although sometimes Curtis wishes he was one. We don’t have a fancy catamaran, but we do have a pretty and fast monohull sailboat.

Cruising catamarans like the Fountaine Pajot’s, Leopards, and Lagoons can’t keep up, but we still like them 😉

We hope you enjoy our videos and vlogs and join us on our journey via our YouTube Channel.

‘Till Next Time 🙂
