We're Lisa & Dave. We love to travel anywhere warm and friendly, to explore, meet new people, see new places, and share what we see. Sailing Dark Angel is our unscripted tale of learning a whole new life. Freedom and adventure on the water, living an alternative lifestyle.
We decided our RUclips channel would reflect the new experiences and discoveries we make. We don't have a ton of experience for 'how-to' videos and the only advice we offer is to get out and live life. Don't wait for it to come to you. We hope to inspire people the way we've been inspired.

Where to next captain Dave? 😂 getting the hang of this channel 😊
and in this episode of Sailing Dark Angel 😆
Thanks guys! 😊
Thank you too!
2:53 like a swimming pool.. very nice, fortunately for myself, i live in West Australia and have 1000s of kms of completely empty beach like this, I’m slightly spoiled but happy to see other places the same, 👌
in most of North America any beaches like these are packed with people! It's good to be spoiled 😃
Thanks guys! 😊
Thanks for the kind words on RUclips Sailing Channels on FB ❤️ facebook.com/groups/984932218324426/
Nice underwater footage!
Thank you! Much more fun to film than to edit 😁
Thanks guys!
Thanks for the kind words on FB RUclips Sailing Channels! Much appreciated ❤️
2:39 i did a front roll entry once, ended up still inside the boat! 😂. Very old joke..
😆
Great underwater scenes. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you 😊
I think you are ready to work for NatGeo! Another Great video!
Is that a bigger paycheque than YT? 😆 Thank you John! We're very happy you enjoyed it
Great vid ,But when you watch vids from 20 to 30 years ago the reefs look healthier ,look after each other 😊😊😊
No argument there! Doesn't almost everything look better from 20 to 30 years ago? 😆 Having said that, we explore a lot of coral and reefs here. There are definitely some that are hurting.
That reef looks amazing. Must have been a real pleasure to be there.
It was really cool. We wore ourselves out exploring it
An "All-In-One" inverter-charger may be good for a shore install, but having separate components (charge-controller, inverter, etc...) for a mobile/marine setup is SO much more versatile! Wishing you guys gentle winds and calm seas!
Thanks for the info! We haven't been attached to shore, other than for fuel, for years. We have a separate Victron controller for each solar panel. We also have a separate Magnum charge inverter for the battery bank. We still had power with the failed converter, we just didn't have enough solar power without one of our 450W panels. Computers are thirsty for power so we constantly had to run the generator. Having said that, we'd LOVE to upgrade our battery pack to LiFePo4 and our inverter/charger to Victron!
Great video ! Wife got caught skinny dipping in a northern lake ,older fisherman claimed he saw a big sunfish lol,
Older fishermen tend to exaggerate 🤔
Great video, the reef was gorgeous! Hey Capt Dave, if you take an extra turn around the eye, you can lock that sheet bend. Will not work loose. Fair winds...
It’s such an amazing reef it took days to cut back the footage to what we showed here 🪸🐠 I appreciate the tip! I’ve used the locking wrap before, but I didn’t think it was needed here
cheers. have a sundowner for me too!!!
But of course! Cheers!
I love that your friends on Second Wind came through in a pinch for you to get your solar power back in optimal working order! That's absolutely amazing, and there's literally nothing that I wouldn't do with enthusiastic gratitude for that kind of generosity! #AgainstAllOdds #Friends
Us too! Thank you
That water was amazing, I can see why it hurt the eyes. Dave, you did great when you explained the service procedure on the generator. I'm sure it will last a long time. -- Jerry
The beauty of the water in the Exumas just cannot be captured on camera. The app really helps a lot for servicing the generator. It tells us when we're overdrawing power, so we can adjust the draw, and when all of the maintenance is due. It tracks hours and service completion. Love it!
Lt looks beautiful! I was hit on the back of my head by one of those waves in St, Thomas V.I.and it felt like a block of cement. It really knocked me for a loop.
Ouch!
Omg grow up
OMG no 😝
I'll grow up when you shut up, cause when I look at you, i wanna throw up
Who wants to grow up? I plan on being a “kid” forever ♾️ and hopefully even when i pass, find a nice place to haunt and pretend to be a little girl ghost (because everyone knows they are the scariest!) 😂
🤮🤣🤣
👻🤣🤣
Thanks for buying the Honda generator, that helps supports my pension every month. Oh, beautiful travels to both of you!
Happy to help! We love the generator with the one massive exception of the starter. Replacing the pull cord is a huge pain in the posterior. Coming up in a future video 😎
2:42 I feel feverish while watching your beautiful and sexy video😘😘
OMG, that water is so clean and clear! I'm tempted to say that I would never want to leave, but even being able to survive an extended visit might prove to be quite a formidable challenge. 🤔🔥😍
Right?!
So it sounds like the trick is to celebrate posting, film said celebration, then edit, post, celebrate, wash, rinse, repeat…😂🎉❤
sounds like an interesting formula
I bet the tiger shark was looking for the bohemian saltwater croc.
That elusive croc 🐊
@@SailingDarkAngel 🤪😆 Didn't Marlin Perkins go looking for that on Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom? ... you know; I'll enjoy this steak while Jim wrestles the crocodile ... 🤣
@@JK-gn6qr that’s where I first discovered this elusive creature… and steak. Need to bring a Jim along for when we find one 🤔
@@SailingDarkAngel 😝Marlin, he taught us so many things ... empowerment being one of those, and how to spot, cook and eat some of the finest steaks of the era ... As for the Jim to bring, how about Jim Dandy! I hear he's good at rescuing. Go Jim Dandy ... Gooo! 🤣
Looks like lots of fun...and work.
@@johnrayburn4139 fun is worth the work! When are you coming to find out for yourself?
I love her ass
Should warn you, apparently it has a crack in it, so not sure of the resale value? 😂
🇹🇷🇹🇷👍👍
Hey Guys good job! could you. share the spare transmission and or may be motor parts naming/numbers?
I'll try to find them
Love the video. Glad I listened to the first part three times and was happy you corrected it to be a boar. Lol
I was corrected with authority 😂
@@SailingDarkAngel I saw it before I saw his back end. I have four adult children that raised 3 4H hogs for to fairs. I listened many times but you caught it. No authority here just retired farmer lmao
I saw right away while editing the video, but wasn't really paying attention as the pig approached when we were filming lol. You get a little leery of the beach pigs if you've been to Big Majors Cay
If those 4-legged pork chops drink salt water, would they be considered as 'Salt Pork' 😁Hope you get the engine squared away, it's somewhat of a necessity, just like finding that elusive bohemian crocodile to show Lisa they do exist 😂
I never thought of the ‘Salt Pork’ angle 🧐 You know when I find that elusive Bahamian saltwater crocodile, Lisa is going to pet it 🐊
😆 Dave, have you considered asking a local of each place visited if they knew the whereabouts of the elusive Bahamian saltwater crocodile? You know the word would spread gleefully throughout the sailing community causing much laughter and possibly so great tips of places to explore in search of ... 😂and could it be possible that 'salt pork' may be the right bait to lure one into what would be a viral episode of Lisa, shrieking with her nervous laughter petting it ... 🤣-- Jerry @@SailingDarkAngel
wonderful mature woman
Wow, we were never in that bay. Wish were there now with you guys!!!!
Can’t wait to see you guys again Only a few weeks away at the most 😉
I am waiting for an Onlyfans page ❤
25:00 What a beautiful view, they look amazing🔥🔥
Great video
Thanks! Happy you enjoyed it ❤️
In your video there didn't seem to be much water coming out of the port exhaust.
It takes a minute to get primed and flowing. I cut away before it started to really go.
Should that windlass really have a 250 amp fuse, seems like that would be much less?
You're not wrong. We replaced it with a 150 amp fuse because that's all we could get, but there's also a breaker on it, which didn't trip. When we get to Florida we'll change the breaker and talk to LoFrans about the correct fuse and breaker to use.
@@SailingDarkAngel I gotcha, and i get using what you got, just asking. Food for thought maybe. Calm winds.
This is precisely why we are speaking with LoFrans again when we get back from the Bahamas 🙂
I wish you both the best of luck in getting your craft's problems sorted out!
Thank you! Stay tuned and we'll show you how we work it all out 😉
How do you access the generator and technical rooms when the vessel is stopped while at sea ?
Through the sugar scoop access. This is a common access point for many cats.
Hi Dave, Lisa! Looks like you two are having a ton of fun. Especially in the crystal-clear water! To be able to see Lisa's glasses, Wow. I see the dingy draining went well and the motor started 😆Any signs of any elusive critters on this trip? 😁
Yes we are, when it's nice and everything is working ;) No elusive critters yet, but Dave still has his eyes peeled!
🇹🇷🇹🇷👍👍
Great Video! We love that place and we miss you guys!
It is a great place. We miss you too. Should see you in a few weeks 😊❤️
Awesome
Beautiful Clear water, amazing Blue. Thank You.
Glad you enjoyed it! The video doesn't do the water justice at all
Hi Dave, Lisa, that music when you anchored, could it have been they were playing that Chuck Berry song about swimming across Turtle Creek for the sea turtle's 🤣awesome videography of you two swimming with them.
The song during the anchor check is A Huevo by Luna Cantina. I don't know the Chuch Berry song. Do you know the name of it? Thank you so much. It was really hard to choose and cut back the turtle footage. We swam with them for a long time. All of our snorkel explorations tend to last for hours. The Bahamian waters are so beautiful it's hard to choose what to show and what to leave on the cutting room floor ❤️
You are truly stunning and incredibly beautiful🥰🥰
You’re sweet. Thank you ❤️
@@SailingDarkAngel ❤️
Really interested in a no-marketing view of one of these boats. But your camera work… Getting seasick just trying to watch. You are panning too fast, not pausing any time on key aspects. And no discussion with the owners about what it's like to live on, run, and more. Some discussion you did have was inaudible. I really got very little insight into the boat from this, sorry.
Absolutely agree. We rushed through it way too fast. We’re looking forward to doing it better in the future
Out of necessity I spend some time on the computer also but just like Dave: I hate it! If only I could spend some time in that water....
Dave spends a lot of hours at the computer. It's a necessary evil. The water sure helps make up for it
I enjoyed the snorkeling it was beautiful. 🥰❤️
Glad you enjoyed it. It's my fave activity in the entire Bahamas
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum. 😊
