Berry Islands → Tahiti Beach: Out of GAS!! Storms & Swings | Ep. 34
In today’s episode, we pull up anchor in the Berry Islands, Bahamas and begin the long run back toward the Abaco's. Destination: Tahiti Beach on Elbow Cay. The passage throws everything at us… we dodge storms, get slammed by others, and ride out a massive frontal system before finally dropping the hook in the calm turquoise waters of Tahiti Beach.
Once the weather settles, we explore Southern Elbow Cay, hit the famous swings, cruise over to Lubbers Quarters near Thirsty Cuda, and even enjoy a much‑needed torrential Bahamas rainfall (perfect for a Leopard rain catchment session and a bath for our salty dirty girl Serenity!). The day wraps up with sundowners at Firefly Sunset Bar & Grill… and a small adventure when we run out of gas in the dinghy trying to get back to Serenity. 😅
And yes the graphic in the episode says it is #33 but no this really is episode 34. (The Miami Boat Show Episode shifted a few things around and due to a missing Premiere Pro sequence it was going to be nearly impossible to fix.)
If you happened to notice that... awesome attention to detail!!
We really hope you enjoy this one.
Thanks for being part of our journey. CHEERS!

Lisa and Chris's adventures. This is the story of a couple with a dream to buy a boat now, put it into charter so we could use it until we are ready to (hopefully) retire early, then sell basically everything, move on to the boat, and live as cruisers in the Bahamas and the Caribbean. This is a 7 year plan that we're well into realizing. Once we achieve our goal we will continue to bring you along on our adventures. We hope you enjoy our story!
