Dolphin glides beside yacht in Bahamian turquoise shallows
What this video covers
After nearly 11 months and 3,200 nautical miles sailing the U.S. East Coast and Intracoastal Waterway — including more than 100 bridges — Chilu and Eze close that leg and cross from Miami to the Bahamas ahead of hurricane season, joined by Mariana, Chilu's sister.▶ 1:19 The first major stop is an overnight anchorage on the Great Bahama Bank, where shallow water far from any land allows anchoring in the open ocean — an unusual condition the crew notes they have experienced only twice before.▶ 1:50 From there they sail to Morgans Bluff on the north end of Andros Island to shelter from a forecast 40-knot northerly.▶ 10:16 The anchorage costs $6 per day, includes unlimited water and electricity, and proves well-protected while open water outside runs rough.▶ 16:19 During the weather hold they install a portable top-loading washing machine on the stern deck — a 110-volt unit bought in the U.S. for $320 — chosen for proximity to the deck shower hose and drain.▶ 16:07 They also mount a SUP board rack on deck and test a wing sail with the board.▶ 5:00 A solo dolphin visits twice, once alongside the boat and once beside a paddleboarder.▶ 3:03 Ashore, the crew explores a bat-filled cave historically linked to pirate Henry Morgan.▶ 11:25
