The crew of the 43-foot Beneteau Oceanis 43, Zephyr, explores a man-made snorkeling canal on Stocking Island in the Exumas, Bahamas, using the No Foreign Land app to locate the site.4:45 The canal, carved through limestone, serves as a dinghy route.3:41 During a Q&A session, the owners address common cruiser inquiries, including pet management and vessel specifications. To train their two Weimaraner puppies to relieve themselves on board, the crew uses artificial grass trays placed on the bow, a routine maintained both at anchor and under passage.6:21 The vessel, a 2010 American-market model with a 110-volt electrical system and a modified fold-down transom, measures 46.2 feet.7:27 Regarding anchoring safety, the crew emphasizes the necessity of a snubber to protect the windlass and secure the chain.13:01 They explain that a properly deployed snubber prevents the vessel from drifting if the windlass fails, noting that a lack of this gear contributed to a friend’s boat loss in Formentera.13:37
