Qué cubre este vídeo

The Whitaker family aboard Zatara weathers 29–30 knots of wind and rough seas at anchor in Georgetown, Exuma, Bahamas, with gusts forecast to reach 40–50 knots.17:36 To prepare for the blow, the crew strips the code zero and loose sails from deck and stows them in the sail locker.14:11 Keith repositions the boat to deeper water — six to seven meters — to avoid touching bottom overnight, noting the catamaran's stability advantage over monohulls in the confused chop.19:14 Between weather events, the family free-dives for lobster near Iguana Island, spearing one keeper, then grills it with butter aboard.0:49 The crew also visits Thunderball Grotto and delivers a Highfield dinghy donation to the Exuma Sailing Club, presented to Dallas of the club's youth sailing program.12:48 Keith and Renee discuss the Blue Water Cruising Summit they co-founded four years earlier, including a Pacific Ocean crossing workshop aimed at sailors intimidated by three to four weeks offshore.8:00 Trash disposal in the Bahamas runs $8.50 per bag; provisioning is expensive and limited, reinforcing their practice of stocking up at Costco in Florida and Puerto Rico before offshore passages.7:31 The episode ends with the crew preparing to leave the Bahamas for Florida.24:20
