Overnight crossing! Abaco Bahamas from Ft. Lauderdale. Ep. 16
In this episode I team up with Aaron and Molly from Shore Thing Marine. We deliver Serenity across the Atlantic Gulf Stream from Ft. Lauderdale (Dania Beach area) to the Abaco Islands in the Bahamas. All this after first signing papers, doing a shakedown cruise in the Intercoastal Waterway, and packing up a million things. This is part 1 of 2.

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!
