Exploring Hopetown Bahamas on our Hatteras Motor Yacht E227

We leave Great Guana Cay and cruise over to Hopetown. We visit Jack's and Hopetown Inn on our dinghy before settling in at anchor in the harbor. The following day we head to Little Harbour, anchor out, then head to Pete's for dinner before exploring the island.

My heart was in my mouth! So glad you got useable pots as I once had a complete full kiln fail… something is looking after you my fellow potter😊😊

[@ShaylaVie]

Hey guys! Looks like you had a blast! Glad the trip went well! Tell the gang I said hello!

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Hey Shae! Yes, we had a blast!

[@jameslandi4688]

Another terrific video...a lovely mix of music, minor challenges, and great shots of island life. Always look forward to your videos.... suggestion, please wear heavy gloves when using anchor chain... know a couple of folks who;ve been hurt.

[@tryingnottosink9107]

I always do when hauling it up, but I should have had them on when loosening that chain.

[@SanandTone2023]

So wonderful to watch this morning. Thank you

[@tryingnottosink9107]

You are welcome!

[@bidask123]

I watched your video after I watched the debate. I needed to relax and that is what your videos do. Mahalo!

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Glad we could help! 😁

[@rikspector]

Lyn, It's good to see you looking good after the operation. You and ED are great people, a tiny bit hedonistic, but what the H**l:) Cheers, Rik Spector

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Actually, that was shot prior to her operation but she is doing very well. Back to her normal, hedonistic self!

[@rikspector]

@@tryingnottosink9107 Gotcha Thats 👍

[@Mini-Driver]

Check out a couple of the Marine Salvage Yards in Florida, you may find a few Racor Filters reasonably priced.

[@vernonbrady6990]

My wife and I would be interested in making a trip with you next time you are open to that. Thanks for all the videos

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Check with us in March. We usually send out an open invitation to viewers and Patreons around then.

[@johnschieffelin3226]

Loved the video, Hopetown and Little harbor are two of my favorite places. I've heard Hopetown is finally pretty much recovered from the devastating hurricane that leveled much of it, but not sure about other parts of Elbow Cay. The Sea of Abaco is a small boat paradise.

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Yes, it looks fully recovered to us.

[@ConstructionEquipment1]

Should have named this one the anchor show how many times can you see someone put the anchor out and pull it back in and one show

[@esiebert7625]

The anchorman 😂

[@johnbruenn8755]

I am finally retired!! Time to take the boat to the Bahamas. Can’t wait to follow in your wake. 😎👉🏝️⛴️ Another great video guys! 👏👏 🏆

[@tryingnottosink9107]

See you on the water!

[@powerquest270]

Funny you mentioned the Raycor issue on the inlet. Been trying to figure out why generator won't run! Lack of fuel I knew but changed Raycor filter then Electric Pump still an issue blow out the line from raycor to fuel pump. Come to find out the raycor elbow going into the raycor was clogged! Sounds like similar issue you had.

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Yes, that has happened to us as well.

[@carlbenj1668]

can I ask if you are swingers? I really don't care one way or another

[@rockyroads1410]

I think we landed a deal on a 70 ft Hatteras 2000 called Bellagio. We r selling our home cars etc We r retired and going to travel the eastern Sea coast then to Bahamas. Hopefully we will be leaving 1 st part of December 2024. Rocky Roads name Of Our vessel

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Best wishes. Hope to see you on the water!

[@scottsmith1229]

did I miss something? I thought you got that winch repaired

[@tryingnottosink9107]

The videos are out of order because I left files back on the boat when I returned to Philly. I mention it in the beginning of one of the videos.

[@brianunderwood3109]

Go team! Everyone knows what needs to be done and jumps in when needed. No slouches on that boat.

[@bidask123]

Unrealized capital gains tax.

[@christinacardinalli827]

Roger Out. 😂

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Roger that!

[@doncritzer2798]

4 more case of. Racor filters please 👍

[@larrydicenzo3826]

Do you still like the electric motor for your tender?

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Yes. I'll do a video on it sometime soon.

[@bethecoin]

Would be great to always see music credits in the description details.

[@tryingnottosink9107]

I know, I am a bit lazy but I'll try. Much of it is by Jessie Villa and I mentioned her in several videos.

[@karaDee2363]

Lynn is an awesome cook, that french fries bird nest sounds so yummy😋

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Yes, she is!

[@Falney]

Once you empty a tank, either get it cleaned out or clean it out your self, then polish the remaining fuel from another tank into it and clean that tank. Once the tanks have been cleaned, just repeat those steps minus the tank cleaning, at the start of your season.

[@tryingnottosink9107]

That is exactly what I did. I made a video of it a couple weeks ago. Making a fuel polisher.

[@robertkutz]

Good to see you.🤩🤩

[@greensdreams]

How many people does it take to screw in a light bulb oops i mean pull up the anchor!

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Well, we are Polish!

[@goodson77784]

Fridge Fried Nest looks delicious. Wish I was there!

[@tryingnottosink9107]

We used to call her "Lynnie Leftovers!"

[@fireby4070]

4 ppl to pull up an anchor, sheesh get that windlass fixed ed!

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Could get the parts in the Bahamas so we waited until we returned to fix it. I already did a video in it.

[@JohnEly-d1e]

I mean this in the right way, but why do you go to the trouble of securing a bridle to the anchor? It seems to me one could use all sorts of anchor techniques, but it all boils down to an adequate anchor stuck in the bottom. But what do I know!!!

[@tryingnottosink9107]

The bridle protects the windlass from damage and stops the chain from jumping off the windlass and running out.

[@edwardc.3710]

Are you pleased with your electric dingy motor ? Beautiful water .

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Yes, we are. I'll do a video of it soon.

[@lutacrew]

That chain looks to light. I said something similar when you were using dangorth and I recommended Mantus.

[@tryingnottosink9107]

I have recently upgraded and will do a video of it soon.

[@doncritzer2798]

No ketchup on mine either and how about some toast 😅😂😊

[@deniermurch8693]

I would not cope with all that palaver of a not working anchor winch, for crying out loud get it repaired, for my sake please. (satire)

[@tryingnottosink9107]

We did, as soon as we returned to the United States. We weren't going to stop us from visiting the Bahamas.
