What this video covers
Daniel returns to the Bahamas as crew on a friend's catamaran after nearly a year away from sailing, bringing his girlfriend Muthi for her first experience of the cruising lifestyle.Watch The anchorage holds twelve catamarans and no monohulls — a detail Daniel notes mirrors his visit the previous year.1:49 The day centers on spearfishing from the catamaran on a calm, wind-offshore morning; Daniel targets snapper, yellowjack, and barjack for sashimi.4:16 He lands a yellowjack and a squid, but a shark follows him back to the boat, nose at his fins, making repeated passes.5:37 He loads his speargun one-handed — holding the cable and slip tip with one finger — and shoots the shark once to drive it off.9:09 Back aboard, he fillets the permit and squid, explaining squid anatomy including the ink sac and cartilage pen.13:28 The evening meal is yellowjack poke made with whiskey barrel-aged soy sauce, Kewpie Japanese mayonnaise, sesame oil, wasabi, everything bagel seasoning, and fresh lemon.14:36 Muthi's nighttime sailor shower off the stern, her fear of sharks in dark water, and a catamaran-versus-monohull running joke fill out the day.
