What this video covers
The crew of the vessel Doodles anchored in Hatchet Bay on the island of Eleuthera, Bahamas, and hired a local driver for a day-long land tour of the island’s landmarks.0:36 The itinerary included the Hatchet Bay cave system, which extends nearly a mile underground and requires high-powered flashlights for exploration.3:12 At the Queen’s Bath, 25-knot winds and heavy seas created hazardous conditions near the natural rock pools, where visitors must remain cautious of incoming waves and sea urchins.3:57 The tour continued to the Glass Window Bridge, a narrow passage where high tides and strong winds can force road closures.7:08 After a flat tire delayed the group, they visited the Sapphire Blue Hole, a seawater-filled sinkhole accessible for swimming.8:03 The final stop was Preacher’s Cave, a historical site where Captain William Sayles and his crew sought refuge after a 1600s shipwreck at the Devil’s Backbone.11:10
