Sailing Paradise? Sailing To The Capital Of The Bahamas, Ep 101

Thankyou for sharing your life with us and our dog Jasper!!!

[@TheSailingBrothers]

Love dogs. Lots and lots of stray dogs here in the islands

Another stonking video guys. Two suggestions don’t name the boat “Cheese” or “block of cheese” call it “The Big Cheese”. Or if you want classy. “Le Grande Fromage” then when you call up a new port of arrival they will think it’s somebody important arriving and get out the red carpet. Second suggestion at this rate MacDonalds should be sponsoring you.

[@TheSailingBrothers]

Hey Hillary Super glad you enjoyed this week's episode. Love the cheesy names especially La Grande Fromage 👌. Imagine if we were sponsored by McDonald's we could get it free of charge all over the world 🤔🤣🤣

Sail, anchor, run, you guys deserved that Maccies. Cool drone footage with voice over. It really gives us an appreciation for that part (rich) of the island.

[@TheSailingBrothers]

We will do anything for McDonald's 🤣🤣. Seeing Nassau from the sky was pretty cool. The rich one side and the poor the other

[@bruce2sail]

AFAIK the Bahamas are basically a series of coral reefs on top of a set of sea mounts. So the shallow bottom is probably coral with a layer of silty sand over the top. It’s probably good for holding an anchor except in super high winds. You are indeed fortunate to be in paradise and enjoying some excellent weather.

[@TheSailingBrothers]

The sand here is extremely soft and good holding but I expect in high winds everyone would be dragging anchor! It's an amazing place and we are very lucky to be here 👌

[@rainfinger]

Great video. You guys have come so far from when you first started. We are presently cruising Eleuthera, perhaps seeing you out there.

You should have scraped the old varnish off table down to the wood as the grease marks will curdle the new lacquer

A very professional job of sailing lads ! 😊. By the looks of Nassau I think you probably got the best on offer with the Maccas! But I guess the thundering hordes ready to come stampeding off those seagoing gin palaces would disagree with me !😢 My advice FWIW would be to be sure not to overlook the attractions Europe has to offer. I have been following a number of other KZbinrs around the Netherlands and Scandinavia for example and I'm mightily impressed by their experiences 😊 ! Just my suggestion. BTW, grey nurse sharks can't hurt you unless you stick your hand in their jaws. Reason? They can't open their mouths wide enough to bite people. At least, so say the experts! 😂

The McDonald's was very delicious Dave 😁 It was quite run down there but an awesome experience. Thanks for your suggestion we really appreciate it ! We were a little worried about nurse sharks however you are right. They very rarely hurt people

@@TheSailingBrothers shame they don’t celebrate the pirate state… it may have been founded by criminals but it was also years ahead of its time… tolerant of gay people and all colours and creeds and basically run totally democratically… run similarly to a pirate ship where the captain had no special privilege and was only in charge of sailing decisions not what they attacked etc. Everyone of the big names during the main age of piracy lived in Nassau… including Teech (Blackbeard).
