What this video covers
The crew of the sailboat Wildly Intrepid 2 anchors in the east bay of Great Harbor Cay in the Berry Islands to spearfish for lobster and perform underwater maintenance.0:15 After catching several lobsters, the crew prepares a beach cookout, using hand-carved wooden forks and a fire built from dry wood to butterfly and grill the tails.8:30 The crew notes that the beach location requires careful selection to avoid no-see-ums, which are prevalent in shaded, wind-protected areas.5:02 Following the meal, the crew processes the remaining lobster legs and knuckles by cracking the joints and removing internal tendons to maximize meat yield.11:44 Maintenance tasks include cleaning corroded scuba gear with vinegar and replacing a lost sacrificial zinc on the vessel's Max-Prop to prevent bronze corrosion.15:49 The owner performs the underwater zinc installation using a scuba setup, noting the difficulty of maintaining neutral buoyancy without sufficient weight.20:06 The crew also addresses ongoing boat organization challenges and manages daily chores like washing diapers in salt water with a fresh water rinse.15:01
