We waited five years for this....

[@kenmckean]

Sierra has an amazing personality - she gladdens my old heart every time i hear her talk. If there’s lots like her then the world is not that bad !

[@billyriordan2712]

Billy and Sierra, I can’t believe it’s been almost 5 years. Welcome back, welcome back,, welcome, back. Let the fun begin!!!

[@kylenyseth5689]

Use pvc nipples and plugs on the water separator for the dinghy so you don’t have the problem with dissimilar metals issues.

[@Craigs_car_care]

We've been watching and sailing with you guys since the beginning. I have to say I'm a bit stoked to see you guys heading back south into the tropics. Can't wait for all the adventures to get going. Happy sailing

[@bokendrick6553]

in my part of Alabama this morning it's 12° and iced in. So this video really made it all ok. Life is good when Sierra was petting and saying hello to all the underwater critters. Jettys smile says it all.

[@rickharris5485]

Negative 12 where I'm at. Negative 25 with the windchill.

[@djwilliams4714]

Keep a spinning rod or two on the boat, and if you ever run across a weed line, or heavy debris; throw a bucktail out, or another type of lure; then try to catch a Mahi... Side note, they "stick with each other" and if there is a school, leave one in the water and cast another rod and try and catch the others... Once you pull the first one out of the water, typically the others Exit!!!

[@ElleKendra]

Had a big smile for the two of you through the whole episode. So cool that Billy's mom got to go along with you.

[@SilasLives1]

I'm glad you're back to these videos. It's been a long road for you guys.

[@CoreyJReed-tk4rd]

So awesome to finally have this video to watch. Having you both back to where you belong and watching your wonderful adventures. Smiling every time the lines go in, knowing how it will eventually go but still hoping you get a fish. Thank you for sharing your lives here. Take care, be safe and cannot wait for the next video!

[@billmcroberts6566]

Billy and Sierra, I’ve been watching you two for so long I almost feel like your videos are from family out living the dream. I especially love your DIY videos and your “day-in-the-life-of..”segments. Travel safe.

[@stevesolo1512]

The Bahamas just got a little classier, the three Pirates return.

[@tracksidebc5854]

Sierra, best way to defrost vacuum packed food is to leave it vacuum packed and place it in a pot of COLD water. Two boneless chicken beasts will defrost in about 45 minutes.

[@geoffthefarmer]

I remember the episode when Jetty jumped off the dinghy and her reaction when you found her. Our cat is named after our dog "Ele" because she loved going sailing and we miss her very much.

[@rickharris5485]

Live bait is your friend. Get a cast net(if it's legal) or some Sabiki rigs to catch bait. Fish the bait a few feet off the bottom while you're anchored or drifting. You're sure to catch plenty of snapper and grouper. Use the trash fish, like bonita, for chum. We're excited for you.

[@Craigs_car_care]

Best thing I ever added to our motor was an external filter and separator. You're right it'll definitely save you all kinds of time and aggravation.

[@ChrisHudsonVlogs]

little tip from experience! loop those quick release pins with some warping twine or cable round the support bar, incase you drop them!!

[@ChrisHudsonVlogs]

also.....please wear a killcord, seen too many people going overboard even on short slow journeys to the beach then the boat either runs them over or runs up the beach!

[@Mamame4]

Enjoy the Bahamas! Good job on clearing out so many lionfish! Our plan was to get down to the Raggeds and Jumentos this year but my 97 year old dad has a stroke so I’m staying home to take care of him. So my husband will bring our trawler to Key West where I hope to be able to escape for a week to visit. The Bahamas will be there for us in the future but for now, it’s Long Island, NY and not Long Island, Bahamas.

[@o_oo_o1812]

In the Caribbean on a catamaran really is the dream. Best wishes!

[@ritagregory5019]

I know how you feel about jumping off your boat and swimming in the beautiful Bahamian waters. We are in the Bahamas now, and doing exactly that!

[@MarkLawrenceKiefer]

Billy, if that arm isn't stable enough on the cleaning station you might want to try just having a removable leg going down to the scoop that has a rubber pad on the bottom so that it sits on the scoop without being attached to anything. You only need to attach it to the bottom of the station.

[@steveironside7255]

When I was commercial fishing we plastic tubing attached to a water line and a sharped spoon on the other side to scrape the inside of the fish (salmon). Great for cleaning fish.

[@mikecaudill1710]

so jealous! watching this episode in my office looking out my window in Virginia after 4 inches of snow last night. my sailboat is currently on the hard at Deale waiting for the 2024 sailing season to begin. enjoy yourselves in the warm weather!

[@DYoung-vt8pq]

Thank you so much for fishing for and eating the Lionfish! Many people would not be bothered because of the spines. The underwater video was beautiful. Safe travels ❤

[@brunsonr]

It’s been 20 years since we cruised the Bahamas. This really brings us back. Sail-on!

[@adriennethenomad]

Fabulous!!!!!❤. Thank you for catching the lion fish. Trying to cull way up here in Bermuda, too…

[@davidnichols147]

Filleting station is awesome, great that Mother caught a Skip Jack, su

[@davidnichols147]

Sashimi looked awesome!

[@coolasafan1029]

Couldn’t be more stoked for you guys to be back in the Bahamas! So glad your ear cooperated. I had some ear issues a few years ago that kept me from free diving. Almost cried when I saw you at the bottom!

[@matty2timez708]

When you use the "boat on a stick" it makes me laugh every time. It reminds me of Wall-E when the captain is playing with his "little" ship....

[@donhamblen8060]

Congratulations on a great passage back to the Bahamas and first Tuna/sushi roll on the new boat! I bet you were glad you weren't on the trawler that was heading West Gulf Stream.

[@wellmounted]

Nice to see you out and about again. Look forward to your travels.. you've mentioned some things before, but how about a pros and cons episode.on the new boat after a month or two?

[@timkeasbey151]

Love that foot steering technique. Glad to see you back in the Bahamas. Best wishes to you all.

[@bmitch3020]

I'm loving the boat picture on the stick graphics. 👍👍

[@drewswannner1241]

The map with the boat on the stick is awesome. Such a great visual! So great to see yall back in the Bahamas - been watching since you were there on Neverland!

[@spyder-cq2by]

I remember watching that video when jetty went missing. Thats such a gut wrenching feelin

[@SamuelKTennis]

Thank you for helping clean up (a few of the) lion fish! And for the public information about them.

[@BoatingJourney]

So cool to see you back in the Bahamas! We need to get back over....we're so close! Congratulations!

[@sunwarrior5999]

I love the map follow along lol.

[@lindabutler7914]

Ok mom you can't hang back your giving Billy memories so get the super shots etc..❤

[@riverakers]

Great to see you guys back in your natural environment! Be safe!

[@bretanderson5283]

That poor boat you met in the middle of the Gulf looked like he was going under!?! You guys were cooking!?! Crazy perplexment🤣

[@BOSmith1958]

Its about time guys. In my opinion, your Bahama videos were the best and yall were at your best there. And a big one, with so many open beaches, it is a Jetty heaven. Glad yall are back there.

[@southernstar1367]

I am so exited for you guys...looking forward to your Bahamian Adventures⛵

[@MrPalmguy]

Looks delicious!! So happy to see you both enjoying what you love doing so much! Be safe always from the Philippines 💞💞

[@jessebradin8992]

Welcome back! I remember stumbling across a video of two crazy young boaters in a trawler towing a whaler in the Bahamas. I’ve been hooked ever since.

[@mesa41141]

Great job smokin those lionfish! Excited to see your adventures in your new boat

[@_JustinCider_]

So I just checked - Bahama water temp in Jan is currently averaging 23.3° C which is apparently 73.9° F. That's bath temperature lol. Looks like a blast, the best day for fishing doesn't always equate to the best day for catching.

[@rosssmith7782]

I'm sure someone mentioned it but they make those fuel filter mounts in stainless so you don't have those rust issues. Not terribly more either.

[@bmwchefbmw]

Welcome back! Game changer for my husband for spear fishing and ear issues: JBL Hydro Seal Spearfishing Freediving Hydro Seal Aqua Plugs! He can hover sideways/unside down and ears don't fill! I'm getting ready to head to Eleuthera if you are going to be there in a couple weeks and could bring you a pair....

[@mariemorrissey9378]

Enjoy!

[@spruceville660]

Love. Your lives, and how you live it ! Lion fish delicious ceviche

[@tropicalbluwaters]

Congratulations! Your dog is a good supervisor, by the way,

[@BellsRidesAboardSeaBoss]

Gourmet healthy dinner and its just day one. Woo hoo I can’t wait to explore the Bahamas

[@ruquik]

Regarding the fillet table... It would be much better if you moved the support arm to the vertical part bast the bend. The issue is both the mounts currently share the same axis and over time it may twist. Keep up the great content and be safe.

[@meadowbrookguideservice8359]

Happy New Year. Way to go Mom catching a fish. Been watching your channel for a very long time. So glad to see you back in your happy place. Have fun.

[@richardgooding498]

Billy, I was thinking of a detachable stainless steel shoot for the fish cleaning station. That would redirect the waist of the fish to the water. Then when you're done. Just take a couple of pins out and it's removed. Just thinking out loud. 😁👍👍✌️

[@steware]

I’m so stinkin happy for you three!!! Much love!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@paull1954]

Happy new year to you both safe travels from a cold cold Edmonton Alberta -15 deg c at the moment. You travels cheer me to no end

[@MichaelBean-h1s]

As usual another amazing video. One question: One of the things that you ALWAYS did that I thought was so important for people to see that you did not in this video is put Jetty in a vest when sailing out of sight of land. I know this boat is different but if you ever had to abandon ship she would need that on and better to be a little uncomfortable for a few hours then caught in the water without it. Thanks again for awesome content.

[@robertgold2643]

Love the old school chart bit in the beginning. Classic 🙏

[@Janespony]

For your fishing… add a teaser(no hook), something biggish that rides about 50-60’ behind the boat, then your baited line at 75’ and another baited at 100’. I’ve also used a planer to lower the bait in the water.

[@mvintrigue-trawlerdiy1101]

Took a while, some detours, but you are right back where you belong. Very much looking forward to the next few months.

[@claudiah5643]

Thrilled for you guys! Very deserving of this life on your new beautiful boat.👏👏👏👏

[@lindabutler7914]

So happy for you guys this has been along time coming, and it was awesome 😊

[@christiepooh]

Were you just here in WPB? We would love to have hooked up. We are trying to get to the Bahamas in the next week or two. Be well!

[@MarkSnop]

That was a great video you guys. I almost felt like I was there when you were changing the fuel filter out. Great great video. Thanks for bringing everybody along.

[@Karma-fp7ho]

Yay! It all looks amazing

[@nooneanybodyknows7912]

We're in the Bahamas! Woof, woof, woof. Nice catch, mom, and spearfishing lionfish. Don't miss Eleuthera. It's my favorite. I'm in love with blush pink sand. 🩷 Thanks for sharing.

So excited to be seeing you back in the beautiful Bahamas!

Yay ! Bahamas 😎. I have to do that on my boat one of these days ! I’m in north Florida 🏝️

Congrats ya made it. Aloha from Maui

[@josephgaydosh7300]

Can't wait to see more videos

[@SkiFanatix]

They make full stainless steel fuel filter mounts, they cost a bit more, but last a lot longer then those aluminum ones.
