As I watch you guys return from the Bahamas, you remind me of me and my wife. We are just starting the planning phase, but what an adventure. I have watched them all so far and will continue. Between you and the Boomershines, we are stoked. Thanks for allowing me on the journey.

[@onFIREfamily]

That is awesome!

[@timfriel8273]

@ I will complete the series! Thanks again for the ride and the inspiration to do it. Also, glad you got Witness sold. Congrats!!

[@onFIREfamily]

[@pauhanacamano]

[@onFIREfamily]

Glad you enjoyed it

We're planning on starting the loop 1st quarter of next year in a 25' trailerable Thanks for video we'll probably do the St John river instead of the Bahamas

[@onFIREfamily]

We didn’t have time to do the St. John’s River but it is supposed to be amazing!

11:35 We have Starlink from our RV that now we sold the rv for our boating adventure, we will use it on the boat. I’m crossing my fingers the boat we settle on will have a water maker. I want to primarily stay on the hook. 15:28 Oh darn you have to go back to the Bahamas, lol. Cheers

[@onFIREfamily]

Good plan! You should be happy with Starlink on the boat. Water maker (even the portable one) is probably worth it if you do that type of cruising much.

[@janinbama6737]

Thank you for the enlightening honest review. Valuable information!

[@onFIREfamily]

Glad it was helpful!

[@brianhibbing1743]

Awesome vid. Thanks for the realistic view of your experience in the Bahamas.

[@onFIREfamily]

Glad you enjoyed it! We hope it helps!

[@grantpeachey6908]

awsome it is nice perhaps to hear or once the other side of the experience of the Bahamas your trials and tribulation of the experience of the journey .

[@onFIREfamily]

Thanks! We hope our experience and sharing this video helps someone with their own trip. We appreciate you watching!

[@TheBoomershines]

100% agree that the Bahamas is more advanced cruising!!! It keeps you on your toes for sure. Interestingly, in April & May in the Exumas, we did not have crowds like you did. xoxo

[@onFIREfamily]

Wow. March must be the busy season. Good to know! Cheers Seashine!

[@johnschieffelin3226]

Very insightful information about Bahamas logistics and about the overall experience. Enjoyed the video as always.

[@onFIREfamily]

Thanks! It was a great challenge and we hope our video helps others prepare for their own trip!

Your comment about the spotty GPS reminded me that the Bahamas is actually part of the Bermuda Triangle.

[@onFIREfamily]

It totally is!

[@csranch2000]

It didn’t seem that you were prepared for the extensive cruising. Did you not have access to the cruising guides? They tend to help as to when to go and not go during the times of day when all the tourists will be at pig beach and thunderball grotto. It is definitely different than a short loop day cruise from one secured inlet or marina to another like the loop. Different challenges for sure. A lot of times a bahamian bridle will help with swells too. Glad you had fun. I did enjoy the video. Good luck with the sale of the boat.

[@onFIREfamily]

Thanks!

[@csranch2000]

It just seemed that you weren’t prepared for the leisure cruising life style. You can not have a schedule in the Bahamas. We’re you able to get the cruising guides? They help in letting you know times for when to go and don’t go. Especially pig beach and Thunderball Grotto. Loved the video in letting others know what to expect. Hope the boat sale goes well.

[@onFIREfamily]

We had some cruising guides but clearly didn’t have all the inside tips we needed.

[@andrewmellon5072]

Thank you for another interesting and enjoyable video. On European waterways washing clothing is expensive and a hassel how did you manage. In Europe marinas are cheaper. Pumpouts while compulsory are not widely available on inland waters and not used. I have met a number of Americian, Australian and New Zealand couples, who keep boats on European waterways, they can only stay 3 months visa. As it is for Europeans in Americia.

[@onFIREfamily]

We have onboard laundry and used it when we had access to water. It takes about 20gal per load. We didn’t notice marina laundry to be all that expensive (at least where we stayed).
