Sailing Deserted Islands - Bahamas

[@shaunitarudd]

I’m late, but I enjoyed this very much ❤

[@matthanson4920]

Out of all the cruising destinations I've seen on KZbin, the Bahamas seem to have the prettiest shades of that magical Caribbean green that we all wish to be in the midst of. Thanks so much for your high quality cinematography of this beautiful area, that allows us all the vicarious thrill of traveling on Distant Shores with you.

[@DistantShoresTV]

Yes the Bahamas waters are amazing! We are looking forward to our next visit! Glad you're enjoying the videos Matt!

[@Gina-ss9fq]

Really informative and beautiful. You've done a good duty of sharing your knowledge with me and lots of credit to you. Stay well out on the seas! ⛵

[@larrymanasco397]

I wish you would record a three or four hour video of just you sailing the beautiful Caribbean waters!!! Can't get enough, so beautiful.

[@chingwaza]

you should book a charter down there! lol

[@steveporter3929]

Absolutely LOVE this video! Just wish it lasted longer! I really like the idea of exploring the uninhabited islands! Thank you Distant Shores.

[@chrisstratton987]

DSTV, Speechless. So beautiful. Thank you!!!!

[@sirfermainclancharlie1018]

This is the paradise on earth. Speechless.

[@TheGolfdaily]

Great video quality! Bahama looks breathtaking.

[@sm6wet]

Thank you for this episode. It was great, lovely views and some things tought as usual. One of my favourite cruising channels here on youtube. Cheers, from Sweden

[@rodericj]

This is a bucket list item for me now. Great video.

[@kleobluewater]

Plana's has some of the prettiest water ever seen. Atwood Harbor, holed up there for 4 days. Awesome. Thank you for sharing.

[@Munawirtum]

Thanks great traveling, lots of people wish to sail that way!)

[@edrosenberger6947]

This has been another interesting and beautifully shot video.....thank you both!

[@davidwarner63]

Beautiful!

[@aightimmaheadout3573]

Omg this water is sooo beautiful

[@jandradventures]

Gorgeous water!

[@tentimes4]

you guys are the best... thanks for the work you do.

[@DistantShoresTV]

You're welcome Jason! Cheers!

[@CatamaranChannel]

Crazy beautiful. Keep sailing!

[@granularSodacan]

Oh man, I'm definitely going. Screw the Pacific 😆

[@svescapades4483]

Great video we love the dvd series.

[@DistantShoresTV]

Thanks Escapades! Glad you liked it!

[@Bacoprah]

Great episode guys :) I always love seeing the clear turquoise waters around the Bahamas. Merry Christmas to you and Cheers from chilly PEI, Bryan.

[@whycuds]

Great video! Thanks for sharing!

[@BobLinton]

Beautiful waters!

[@4.9copblank49]

you two make fabulous videos, thanks

[@DistantShoresTV]

You are welcome 4.9cop !!

[@quincyharon3320]

that water is amazing!

[@SailBeforeSunset]

Enjoyed, as always. Please keep up the great videos!

[@legend343]

Looks idealistic so beautiful, one day I'll take my boat from cold Sweden to warm waters... Warren s/y Legend

[@DistantShoresTV]

We loved our sailing in your waters! Back in 2010 we sailed up to the Baltic and Stockholm before crossing back through the Gota Canal! Lovely!!

[@sydneysherwood1489]

beautiful

[@PillSharks]

Blackbeard must of thought it was another world with the colour of the water compared to the murky waters of the Bristol Channel! My village of Pill which is 4-5 miles down stream of Bristol would have had a visit from Blackbeard at some time or another I'm sure! Also the last places John Cabot sailed from as he would have needed to wait for the next tide and Pill was the place to wait!

[@MrDingle77]

Another beauty! I assume this was filmed some time ago?

[@DistantShoresTV]

Glad you liked it! (yes we filmed this 2 years ago on our most recent visit)

[@svamandolin3546]

Towel and a few books and I could spend 5 days there. Need that right about now

[@The_FreedomZone]

I looked this up because I was curious if boat owners just go to uninhabited islands for fun. I am pleased with the search results.

[@1151361]

man you are lucky keep posting

[@NormanconEVE]

Hi distant shores. I have been watching your videos and am enjoying it very much. I have been looking to sailing the world and I was wondering if you could give some tips on how you finance your sailing. On paper i am finding very difficult.

[@DistantShoresTV]

Glad you enjoy the vids Normancon! We are TV producers and have been funding that way (which has always been difficult). Here is a link to our "Budget for Cruising" blog... www.distantshores.ca/boatblog_files/budget-for-cruising.php

[@NormanconEVE]

Thanks for responding. I have look many places to try and get an estimate as i have near to no experience with the funding of a cruiser. Thanks for giving a sizable range.

[@ktravelandvlogs]

Near which island was the desert island? Amazing

[@diobrando666]

Im going to take over the Bahamas

[@conormcguinness3215]

Up for a crusade?

[@georgespaulic6251]

magnifique

[@DistantShoresTV]

Merci Georges :-)

[@eviltango]

Nice! Could the keel sustain damage due to careening?

[@darrionsilverwolff]

My wife and I are planning to purchase a sailboat on the Atlantic or the Gulf of Mexico. I have had my captains Liscense for many years. Any advice where to look what towns or Marinas not finding much on Boat trader or YachtWorld?

[@lorddoma6637]

I swear if I become a millionaire, this will be my hobby every other week.

[@Archalias100]

You don’t need to be a millionaire, about $30,000 could get you a decent sailboat to get there

[@petmop1309]

@@Archalias100 you can get one for 1000 euros. one which is suitable for oceans

[@cyndawolfepianostudios1235]

Is there any way I can spend a week aboard a boat with hosts in the Southern Bahamas? I am a beginner, and I am very inspired!

[@chingwaza]

can you camp on these islands or at least anchor there for a few days?

[@oceancowboy3573]

Nice

[@jackelynrodriguez4035]

I live in Florida and wanted to go to the Bahamas on my waverunner.

[@DistantShoresTV]

If you mean on a JetSki I seem to recall a video series of folks who did that. They all travelled in a group to they could help one who had problems...

[@porkfied]

I saw that video too,they launched out of Miami.

[@victordasilva5255]

Mule Skynr thank god you cleared that up....I had no idea what it meant in lowercase.....🙄

[@shayson1357]

very much possible, have you done it yet ?

[@ccmarotta8473]

Me too!! Be sure you buy your GPS finder, register it with the Coast Guard and take it with just in case:) If anything goes wrong, activate & the coast guard will locate you in no time. Have fun Girl!!!!

[@Joelifant]

02:04 wait! if no one was there, who did the filming? :-D

[@ritzengineering]

drones

[@joshdosesomthing6678]

Norman oh we have the same profile picture lol I thought that was me lol😂.

[@lovelyprovince6476]

Why are they inhabited??

[@SuperJV4x]

can a boat anchor off these sort of islands without having to announce your arrival with the government?

[@321gates]

Yep. In Florida we boat or even jet ski to the Bahamas for the day. It is that close and accessible. kzbin.info?search_query=jet+skiing+to+the+bahamas

[@Foreignvybz]

he said there's an offline reef so he anchors outside and bring the dinghy in to shore. what is an offline reef? anyone please..thx.

[@richardjahn7951]

What vessel do you own? It's great for really shallow water!

[@DistantShoresTV]

Its a Southerly swing-keel 49 ... distantshores.ca/about-us/the-boats/southerly-49/

[@omegapointil5741]

Everytime the "Last Man on Earth" theme has been introduced into films or books its betrayed on by introducing more characters. I'd like to experience if only by ...... what it would be like to have the entire Earth as a destination.

[@kevinhoffman8214]

whish I was there , do you ever need ballast ? - I am available

[@marcknight4568]

It's only because of your lens polarization that it looks so great. In reality it would be too bright.

[@chingwaza]

thats what polarized sun glasses are for lol

[@morten-lk]

The Vikings discovered America before Christoffer Columbus.. But grate line of videos :)

[@TheVeteranFiles]

lol but not the caribbean

[@celticpridedrums]

How can they be alone when someone's filming them as they arrive on the island? There is a mysterious 3rd person with a camera somewhere.

[@robertparnoff6424]

We knew a young couple that crossed the Gulfstream in a 16 ft Hobie Cat!

[@ralfnorenberg3130]

woooow,,,from where to where ??????

[@nakedfaves]

0:23.........."heading over to Mayaguana"....... As soon as I win the Powerball lottery I'm going to BUY more than 5,000 ACRES of land on Mayaguana and build what would eventually become the largest "nudist, naturist, clothing optional enthusiast beach, campground, resort, community, town" on the entire planet.

[@Michael-nc9cp]

please God send me there

[@chingwaza]

send yourself!

[@btte854]

sand flyes are they bad in the area I hurd really nasty

[@DistantShoresTV]

Mosquitos can be bad on calm days. At anchor we were rarely bothered...

[@Wwtrek]

Looks like you guys had a great time! Awesome video! Check out our BVI video if you get the chance: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pafLipailtmKr5I

[@akseakayaker]

who are these people trying to fool. The Bahamas is filled with thousands of vessels everyplace. Just like most locations its been overrun and ruined by tourist, charters and just about any kind of boat that can float.

[@DistantShoresTV]

You're wrong Tzahal... there are thousands of vessels in the Bahamas but the area is HUGE. There are many places you can have to yourself if you're on your own boat and exploring :-) Fair winds

[@TheUW21]

Just wanted to give you my personal opinion since I have never seen one of your videos before. In no way do I want to hate on you just giving you my two sense. This doesn't feel like the real you, this video has a huge feel of a PBS show. The scripted voice over with the history or geology anecdotes turns me off. When I'm watching sailing videos I want to see the real people who sail the waters not a fake scripted version of them. Online it's all about community, and I just can't connect with a wooden scripted person. So I'm not going to subscribe, although good cinematography and research behind this but this is defiantly not for me.

[@DistantShoresTV]

Thanks for your comments UW. We have been making television shows for broadcast television since 1993 and always try to add the facts and provide more info for viewers, not just our "in the moment" reaction since we feel this is more useful. Of course plenty of modern you-tubers will give you what you want. We are definitely not "fake" and pride ourselves on trying to capture the real experience. Our shows have aired on PBS in the past, as well as the Travel Channel, and Discovery Channel, AWE TV and the Nautical Channel in millions of homes around the world in 26 languages. Thanks again for your feedback.

[@markpitchford7375]

I love the history and how to. You're not a couple 20 year old millennials; don't try to be.

[@DistantShoresTV]

Thanks Mark 😊 we'll keep going as we are!

[@stevepennell1]

I would do that, but im poor!
