Crossing Our 41 Bahama to TREASURE CAY

It is finallu summer time which means that our Bahama Boat Works 41 moves from Melbourne, Fl to Treasure Cay in The Abacos, The Bahamas to live for the summer. We left out of Sebastian Inlet around 7:00 and were met with some relatively rough standing waves due to an east wind with an outgoing tide. Once we got out of the inlet chop it laid down pretty nicely and the crossing went pretty uneventfully which is perfect. We made it to Treasure Cay around 1:00 so we made some pretty good timing!
As always please feel free to reach out if I can be resource for anything boating or Bahamas related. Contact information below.

I love Melbourne. I didn't realize people actually crossed from that far north. Awesome. I learn something every time. Thanks, great video.

Thanks, Nick. Enjoy it. Great video Hope to see you on the Sea Suite this winter in the Abacos Sea Coast Chartere

You will soon be able to make the crossing blindfolded.. lol, thanks for sharing your video 🤙

Video idea… I live up in North Carolina so crossing by boat would be a pain with trailering all the way down to Florida then across. My wife and I want to know what other options there are as far as getting to the abacos or any other Bahamian islands. Flight options, best value (not necessarily the cheapest) on the travel to and from the islands, and of course reliability to come and go from the islands to mainland US.

What was your speed coming out if the inlet, 24-25mph?

[@NickOlinde]

Ehh I was going roughly 25 kts which is like 29 mph

[@jimlarkin7859]

Roughly how many miles total / fuel used? Thanks

[@user-gx2wx3wi9y]

Boat would run better if you put the bow down, and went a a bit faster. Waves were hitting middle of your boat the entire time. A 41 Bahama should up those waves.

[@NickOlinde]

Believe me, I had her dialed in. Sometimes there is no picking where you come down when you come off a wave. I could’ve slowed down instead of taking it at like 33 kts but she still ate it up. In an inlet slop like that sometimes you just have the let the hull do its thing. There was an unavoidable up and down but the boat didn’t slam and just kept going. I had over 800 hours in our first Bahama and now 1000+ in this one so have her pretty dialed in.

Update on rebuild on Treasure Cay?

[@NickOlinde]

Right now there really is not a whole lot to update on since my last video. Everyone I kind of still in a holding pattern for more news to come out

[@jeffcarinda1719]

@@NickOlinde thanks for the update. My wife and I vacationed in TC for 10 straight years before the hurricane in 2019. We stayed at Ocean Villas, right at the beach level villas. We wish our old unit got rebuilt….but it didn’t.

[@NickOlinde]

@@jeffcarinda1719 Yall should come back!! Treasure is open for business and extremely busy! There are plenty of places to stay and we now have several dining options, boat rentals, golf cart rentals, car rentals, etc.

Misleading nail pic 👎🏼

[@NickOlinde]

It’s the boat in the Bahamas! Makes for a much bettter thumbnail pic than just a basic shot from the action camera taken from the video that doesn’t show anything.
