Extremly cool pictures from the cave! Thnaks for charing!

It was such an AWESOME place! Thanks for watching ☀️

[@digitalfotonetz]

Yeah, but it takes a Level of skill to present it the way you did and was impressive! I know cause I take photos myself.

[@keithwhite3782]

My daughters and I love the movie into the Blue. Kinda like your vlog. It makes us feel like we are there. If you make it to Green Turtle Cay that is where my Great Grandfather was born. Ask for an Albury to show you the way. They are still there.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

We felt like we were in a movie here! It’s just so gorgeous! Have you guys been here yet??one of our first stops in the Bahamas was Green Turtle! One of our fav towns.

[@robertcarkeek8391]

I like your smiles, spirit, exuberance too! Fair winds.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Thank you so much!! That’s so nice of you to say 😁 ⛵️☀️

[@svdreamsfloat]

Loved Staniel Cay when we were there. Looking forward to going back

[@BeauAndBrandy]

It was a GREAT place. 🐠🐟

[@svdreamsfloat]

So far its the only place I've been in the Bahamas, judging by the age of this video, we were there around the same time you were there. Our last meal at the yacht club was through a to go window as they were locking down the island for Covid@@BeauAndBrandy

[@FlyMeAirplane]

That grotto was awesome! Great video.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

We could have spent a WEEK in there!! What an interesting place!

[@SailingMusicandLyrics]

It’s so awesome to see the places we’ve been this past season. Our videos are still before the season started! Be well you two and I hope we meet up again! 💋⛵️🎸🎶

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Awww miss you guys! Hope you are doing well and can’t want to see you guys out here again soon! ⛵️😘

[@jacktaylor1030]

Hello Saoirse Crew, The Blue Waters of the Bahamas look so Tranquil, and inviting, wish I was there. Hurricane Season is right around the bend, best of luck finding a safe Haven to hide out at.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Tranquil!! Great description, that’s exactly how we felt! So peaceful and beautiful. Currently heading south to get out of the H zone ☀️⛵️

[@TheAtma50]

As we say in Ireland... "Now your suckin Diesel" Which means Well Done !! and a Red Bikini too ... Wow !! what next ? Also great to see Kerry Gold Butter in your shopping purchases ... even out in the Bahamas ... You can't beat quality !! Numbers are picking up too ... well done !!

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Hey Bob!! Thanks for watching ;) yes we are soooo happy that we’ve been able to have our fav kerrygold everywhere in the Bahamas! We were surprised to see it here, but OH SO GRATEFUL! thanks for all the support too!!

[@matthanson4920]

Great footage in Thunderball!

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Thank you! We could have stayed for DAYS in there!!

[@bradhiebert6403]

In Canada, sun halos only happen in winter. Here we call them sundogs. Up here, the size it was means it's going to be wicked cold, anywhere from -25C to -40C.

[@jrp616]

Thats a real treat to get Thunderball Grotto all to yourselves. I waited till all the tourist boats were gone, but still had a dozen other cruisers to share it with. I was sure Beau would climb to the top and jump in. good video

[@BeauAndBrandy]

HE SOOOOO WANTED TOO! haha! But when he was about to do it, in rolled the tourists, so we didn’t get a chance. Did you?!

[@markleyg]

Thunderball, my favorite Bond movie.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

We need to watch it again, don’t have it on our hard drive. It was so cool to experience this!

[@BelieveTruthDisbelieveFallacy]

Coconut bread from the bahamas is pretty fantastic stuff

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Isn’t it?! Have you had this one from Lorraine’s mom on Black point! It’s literally the BEST!

[@katemoylan5920]

I wasn't able to enter the grotto when we visited (current too strong) but appreciate seeing your experience! Met you briefly in Georgetown (doing laundry)!

[@GeorgetteCasimir]

So cool guys!

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Hey georgette!! Awww thanks so much for watching our adventure 😘😘

[@christinec1928]

I've gone Keto too and it's the best lifestyle change I've made. It's great to see how you make it work with the cruising lifestyle. I don't drink beer or wine anymore but enjoy the odd rum or vodka with soda water. You might find locally (Caribbean) made butter in some of the islands further south or Central America, and they would likely be grass fed cows. I haven't spent much time down there lately, so I don't know for sure, but I'd ask around.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

YAY!! Another keto krew member 😁😁😁 yes we’ve been pretty lucky most of the islands have kerrygold butter. Our FAVE. But haven’t found anything local yet. We may get lucky in the Caribbean.

[@christinec1928]

@@BeauAndBrandy Keto Krew ... love it.

[@clayfarnet970]

Grouper is my favorite fish. Hands down it's the best, if it's not over cooked. When over cooked, it's rubbery. I quit drinking a handful of years ago. I wake up feeling great every morning and have money in my pocket. 😂😜✌️Great video! 👍👍👍

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Grouper is our fav! Although some others are giving it a run for its money 😁 speaking of money lol. Bonus of being sober!

[@budpratt4295]

Most beautiful cave shots ever.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Thanks Bud!! The cave was so gorgeous! Wish we could have stayed in even longer!

Some of your best photography yet in the grotto! Great episode!

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Thanks so much Brad!! This one was awesome to video, so gorgeous!

[@mattevans-koch9353]

Loved Brandy's cup. I am thinking you two are turning in to merpeople. Watching your underwater swimming is almost mesmerizing especially in slow-mo. Thank you for another beautiful tour of a special place in the Caribbean. Have a great week.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Thanks Matt! My sister gave me that cup, it’s one of my favs 😍 hope you have a fab week too!! See ya next week!

[@debbiehockaday5183]

Ya'll sail more than any one else. Keep up the great videos! dee

⛵️ we have been busy little sailors! It does seem like every episode we have been sailing. So much to see 😎

[@1charlierivera]

They say a picture says a 1,000 words, but videos, ....................., go figure. I WANT TO BE THERE .............. !!!!!! Enjoy. I'm hearing that Puerto Rico may be a stopping place. This is my country and the Old San Juan is awesome. Do not miss the fortress El Morro.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Hey Charlie!! You HAVE to go!! It’s so amazing, even the video doesn’t do it justice!! So gorgeous there! We are heading to Puerto Rico soon! Hope to be able to explore San Juan but it may be too far away for us this go round!

[@SailingPauHana]

I have that same mug (with the knots) 😊

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Brandy got that for me for a present. Have learned a couple of knots off of it 😂 we drink lots of coffee haha.

[@wmm6563]

Low carb is a lifestyle. Everyone's lifestyle needs a change once in a while. A few carbs and an occasional low carb beer or liquor drink with a low/no carb mixer is what makes life enjoyable. Great episode, especially the comparison shopping process...good idea for everyone else. Great shots of the "grotto", too. Good luck!

[@BeauAndBrandy]

That’s right!! It’s a lifestyle, that’s why we like it so much. We give ourselves a time to be able to enjoy the local things, and now feel guilty about it 😁 thanks so much for watching ☀️

[@rossipop]

Loved this Ep so many smiles and fun ....Much hugs safe sail guys ......

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Thank you :) it was a blast to film. Could have stayed in the grotto for DAYSSSS!

[@rossipop]

@@BeauAndBrandy WoW thanks for the reply Hugs... safe sail .

[@donaldoutdoors]

OMG - you two make me so happy! I'm one of those crazy people who absolutely love grocery shopping. I enjoy it when you show your in-store/provisioning runs, tease us with your purchases and give your take on what shops to visit. I'm excited you were able to find "the" coconut bread! Funny thing is as I type this I have my ingredients out to make some coconut bread of my own (but the sweeter cake-like version). I'm sure all will agree: you are doing this for the adventure and the experience, so absolutely, eat and experience the bread guilt-free! "Into The Blue" - as in the Paul Walker and Jessica Alba movie? LOL... I find it entertaining, but mainly for the underwater scenes - I love the water as much as you two :) I agree with what most others have said here too - your vids keep getting better and better! I loved the touch at the end as you're eating your 'Caribbean-French Toast'... the camera was gently rocking back and forth with the movements of the boat! Peace and much love!

[@BeauAndBrandy]

hey Donald! Thanks so much for all your support! We really appreciate it! We hope the “insider” 😎 shopping trips do help everyone see what it’s truly like here. I know it would have helped us. Thanks again for letting us know 🛒 oh and if you wouldn’t mind sending us that coconut bread recipe, maybe we can ketofy it 😁

[@bobbybaldeagle702]

I'm so proud of you kids for being smart and not drinking booze. I was stuck in the bottle for many years. Went I was 13 and 14 it was cool to drink but then as I grew into my 20's the fun had wore off. But then we had our boys come along so I stopped drinking to raise them. But the day our youngest turned 16 I walked over to the store and got me a bottle and started making up for lost time... It didn't take long till I was back being drunk every night. I lost the respect of my boys but I didn't care my love was to the booze but it wasn't fun I just like how it made all the uglies in my life not matter... Well all things come to an end one night in a drunken blackout I tried to end my own life, thank God my wife and youngest son were there to stop me. They told me what I had done the next morning... I call my union and they got me into a 28 day rehab center. I tried to stop drinking on my own but it didn't work. So with the help of the rehab I had a plan and a goal. Well praise God and the tables of AA it's been 17 years and this time my head is on straight. When I stopped drinking to raise my kids I did it for them. I couldn't wait for them to grow up so I could get back to my drinking... This time I did it for me, Also this time I added a new friend into my life. I now have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ HE has given my what I've look for for so many years. I even have peace in my heart and mind today, I got a bran new life... Be blessed kiddos, much love and prayers... BBE...

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Bobby thank you so much for sharing that part of your story!! It means a lot to us. We were going down that slippery slope as well and had to make BIG CHANGES! So happy you have found a happier life ☀️

[@onthebeaches]

Bobby Baldeagle What a great testimony to all things. I"m so glad you shared all of this with us. I have heard this story many times and even have a friend who will probably die from Alcohol poisoning or his liver will give out. The irony is, I offer products that help people with their physical cravings but can't help one of my best friends! You have to want it in order for it to work. You're the smart one for realizing you carve your own path...your own journey! CONGRATS!!!!! Ü

[@onthebeaches]

Absolutely no shame. One the the reasons I watch you two is because of your lifestyle food choices! I'm a wellness coach and love love love to see sailors (Anyone for that matter) embrace what you're doing! Have you seen Dr Mercolo's new book on Keto?! Have you ever thought of sprouting Mung beans? Super easy,, packed with tons of nutrients and even get past the blood brain barrier. PEACE OUT! Ü

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Hey there! YES!! I just listened to him on a podcast with Dave Asprey! I have it on my list of books to get. And we have mung beans sprouting as we speak 😍 we’ve tried a couple of others, but mung seem to be the easiest. Any other recommendations, let us know! ☀️p

[@OnTourWithPattiSmith]

LEECH LINE is what that adjustment is called to eliminate the flutter at the trailing edge. You've shown us your leech line now show us your tan lines! (NEVER thought I'd have another excuse to bring up tan lines.)

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Haha! Thanks for that...leech line adjustment. Working on the tan lines ⛵️😂

[@chappyd5109]

Always enjoy your video's. No quilt with the coconut bread. Shock carbs are good once in a while. But for me even better, is your casual remark "We don't drink" that moved you up the list. All most all of the other's video's include more then enough drinking. Where will you head until Hurricane season is over?

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Thanks Dwayne!! Guilt free on that bread for sure! 🙌 we will be heading to Grenada area for H season!

[@onthebeaches]

I second the "We don't drink" motion as well. I've been an avid boater my entire life and can tell you boating and drinking seem to go hand in hand with most boaters. Something like..it's a drinking club with a boating problem. HA!

Thanks for catching this episode Betty-Lou!

[@douglasrobbie7394]

I heard you mentioning that you'd be heading to PR, and probably hoping to avoid The Thorny Path problems eg bashing into the tradewinds. I have no idea where you actually are but thought I'd mention an alternative. One alternative that I have heard about to get to the Spanish Virgins or USVI is called the I65 route (interstate 65). Essentially means that from around Georgetown you wait for a high heading to FL that will first bring the winds first out of the north. With these winds you head East or ESE until you get to w longitude 65 deg ( same as St Thomas). The winds from the high will clock from north , then from west, allowing you a few days to get to 65 deg w longitude, then will peter out and the tradewinds from the east will take over and allow for a reach to St Thomas or Spanish Virgins. This open ocean route takes 5-6 days and avoids the Thorny Path with its issues around the DR, limited sailing time per day sailing/motoring east along the S coast of PR. MJ Sailing on KZbin did this route about 1 yr ago and provide a much better explanation. You do have to be comfortable with 5-6 days at sea, most of it out of sight of land.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Hey Douglas!! We are heading toward Puerto Rico now. We decided that the windward path south of DR was our best path. More spots to tuck into and we are already on THIS side so we can head straight south if need be for any storms that may pop up.

[@HansQuistorff]

When one is not over weight there is times to build a reserve for when you want or need to push on longer without eating. Once you have trained your body to keto you store it when you have it and burn it when you need it.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Hey Hans! Yes we are pretty fat adapted so when we have a little “indulgence” it doesn’t through us off much. This is a lifestyle for us, best part of keto!
