No pump outs in the Bahamas. Everybody dumps overboard. Expert tip - never make water in a crowded anchorage, especially on an incoming tide..

Have enjoyed your videos a few times over the last year, but as I was walking this morning i saw a vessel on the hard with the name "Island Time" and there you sit, I assume waiting out the season. We are on our hunt for the right vessel at the moment. Every ever need a hand for something let me know I live right outside the port and glad to lend a hand or help drive for provisions, season will be here before you know it!

Thanks for taking us on your trip. Couldn't Island Time run on one engine instead of tow? Thanks
@cruisingonislandtimeАй бұрын
Absolutely she could, however we were headed for a very tight marina and steerage at low speed and on one engine gets tricky. So, we decided to play it safe. Also, we subscribe to a year round towing service that offers unlimited towing.

@@cruisingonislandtime Thanks, I have read that some PDQ cruisers alternate running single engines and get extraordinary ranges at 6.5 Knots.

I have heard the same. I guess it's a balance between fuel savings and putting more engine hours on your boat.

The pattern that emerged is boating is expensive. And Newport particularly so. My wife and I did a trip from Long Island to Greenport to Newport to montauk and returned home to the tune of $1,580 in fuel alone. But that’s the cost of playing. It’s where I choose to spend my money. I don’t drive a nice car or have a pool or take crazy vacations to far away places But my boat and house are pretty nice.
@cruisingonislandtime2 ай бұрын
Very true. But at least there are ways to mitigate the expense like mooring or anchoring, and keeping a conservative cruising speed. Either way, cruising isn't cheap and gotchas seem to show up when you least expect them. Thankfully the enjoyment outweighs the cost. As far as vices go, there are far many worse..

There is an interesting history on Gin Su Mer. The development was started by Pierre Lamouroux, a Frenchman who made his fortune inventing and promoting the Ginsu Knife in the late 1970s and 1980s ... " it slices, it dices, it makes Julienne Fries" ... thus he named his development GinSuMer, or "knife of the sea".

Thanks Tom. We definitely love the usefulness but are not very happy with the performance. The first one lasted 5 months and was replaced under warranty. This one lasted 7 months then one of the sides failed to cool and the compressor smelled like burning electronics. So, we are running just one side, in freezer mode. We'll do another warranty claim when we get back to the US. And, the phone app to control and monitor is flaky at best. Not great for the price point of the unit.

From Miami to Bimini it was about 4.5 hours at about 14 knots. I would estimate 8 gallons per hour, but we were pretty heavily loaded with fuel, water, provisions, etc. It was pretty lumpy so we went fast to minimize the discomfort. Typically, we can cruise at 8 knts at about 2 GPH.

I have photos of my teenage self standing in front of the beautiful clubhouse. The house was sold as the island and country had many changes. The house was purchased and remodeled to enlarge it and remains on the island having withstood hurricanes, drug smugglers and island debt. This winter I hope to go back and spend some time there.
