Sailing from Atlantis to the Berry Islands: SHARK, Sunset & the Perfect Sail! | Ep. 32
In today’s episode, we sail from Atlantis Marina at Paradise Island to the Berry Islands in the Bahamas to the Northwest. We have to first navigate past the cruise ships in the Paradise Island and Nassau channel, then get the sails up, and... well... sail for about 6 hours. We got up early so we could get anchor down by mid afternoon and have plenty of sunlight to make sure we get on the hook solidly. It took us a couple of times but we eventually got settled. Then diving on the anchor to be 100% sure. And... a shark came by to welcome Chris while he was doing that. Definitely a startling visitor. This episode has a lot of sailing to make up for zero sailing last episode.
We really hope you like this one! Thank you so much for letting us share our story with you.
CHEERS!
-Chris & Lisa

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!

What’s the Emergency??!? #boating #sailing #boatlife
This short is just me losing my hat (almost) but the important thing about it is that it's part of an episode where we show you what it looks like to wrap up a trip. We start in Green Turtle, shoot over the Whale, then anchor under the Elbow Cay Lighthouse...
I guess they sometimes order a bus when the plane won’t go woosh.
We were at Will Rogers Airport on Friday night and the weather was horrible. So apparently some of the airlines ordered busses to get people to Dallas. First time we'd seen that!
