Sailing yacht departs Fernandina Beach at dawn
What this video covers
Ryan and Brittni sold their boat Sunday, then agreed to move back aboard under a deal with the new owner, David — a Boy Scout leader they met through their sailing program — who needed the boat delivered from Fernandina Beach, Georgia, to the Bahamas and used for a Boy Scout season before taking full possession.12:31 The arrangement required Ryan and Brittni to drive back across America from Vancouver in seven days, abandoning their fifth-wheel trailer after slide-out problems and buying a small pop-up truck-bed camper off Facebook Marketplace instead.3:47 The cross-country route included a Grand Canyon stop ($235 entry for foreign visitors), an overnight at the Bass Pro Shop pyramid in Memphis, Tennessee, and multiple truck-stop camps.9:24 On arrival at Fernandina Beach, they immediately started the boat — now renamed Nautilus by David — and began loading gear for a planned 5 a.m. departure on a three-day passage to the Bahamas, timing the Gulf Stream crossing on Friday ahead of forecast storms.13:53 The delivery deadline falls in August, squarely in hurricane season.12:52 The video closes with a teaser that a second, larger announcement has not yet been revealed.15:43
