What this video covers
A morning departure from Nassau at 0645 puts the crew of Calypso ahead of cruise-ship traffic on an offshore passage to the Berry Islands.▶ 0:06 Calypso carries two 75-gallon diesel tanks; the crew stops at Chub Key marina — a fuel dock at the southern tip of the Berries, positioned between Bimini and Nassau as a jump-off point before or after the Great Bahama Bank — and takes on 76 gallons total: 33 per tank plus 10 gallons in fuel cans for the generator.▶ 4:29 The Chub Key inlet is narrow with a blind bend, creating two-way traffic risk.▶ 5:45 From there, Calypso anchors alone at a remote Berry Islands anchorage chosen partly because an uncharted wreck sits nearby.▶ 6:08 Jeremiah backs down on the anchor to set and test holding.▶ 7:40 The crew snorkels the wreck — confirmed to be a complete sunken boat — then tows a tube in the anchorage.▶ 9:19 Brittany notes that on a previous 1,500-mile passage, Calypso burned only one-quarter of one tank under sail.▶ 4:00
