They frequently depart anchorages under headsail alone in calm conditions, though they motor when wind angles prove inefficient for short passages.0:47 During a spearfishing excursion at a reef near No Name Cay, Cory spears a 10.5-pound Cubera snapper, sustaining hand injuries from the fish's teeth during the landing process.8:25 The crew fillets the snapper and prepares it as sushi, noting the importance of removing bloodlines and cutting against the grain to ensure quality.12:16 Later, they navigate a narrow, marked channel into Black Sound under sail, opting to reef the headsail to maintain controlled speed during the downwind approach.16:11 The crew concludes their stay by anchoring in Black Sound and meeting friends at Gilliam's Bay on Great Abaco Island.17:25
