They anchor in 21 feet of water to snorkel a blue hole, catching grouper and strawberry grouper for dinner.15:26 While spearfishing near the Temento Keys, the crew encounters aggressive bull sharks and a school of barracuda, forcing them to abandon the water.13:41 They later anchor in Fisherman’s Bay, a known shark-heavy area where local fishermen discard fish remains, attracting bull sharks that swim near the boats.17:48 The crew uses the GoPro to identify the sharks and monitors water depth by observing color changes and breaking waves over shallow sandbanks.17:59 They rely on the area as a staging point to wait for favorable weather windows before sailing north toward the Exumas or Long Island.18:21
