What this video covers
The crew concludes a three-month Bahamas cruise with a final day of snorkeling and spearfishing near Green Turtle Cay. They anchor in 20 feet of water over a reef with significant drop-offs and coral caves, where they spear a porgy and a hogfish. To facilitate longer stays on the water with children, the crew utilizes a portable tent for shade and wind protection. Navigation between Crab Cay and Manjac Cay requires attention to tidal states, as low tide prevents passage through the middle. To conserve the engine’s raw water pump, the crew sails the 10-mile transit from Manjac Cay to Powell Cay using only the headsail. They anchor at Powell Cay for a beach bonfire, noting that rising tides necessitate moving the fire up the beach to avoid the water. The crew plans to cross the Gulf Stream by timing their departure around an upcoming window of calm weather to avoid forecasted thunderstorms.
