Well...well...so great to see my family home with me in The Bahamas. Love you'll and thanks for taking the time to come my way in Great Harbour Cay. Looking forward to seeing you again soon. Blessings 🙏🏾
Just seeing you guys enjoying what you went there for, the nature, the water, to me made this one of the best videos I've seen in a while thank you guys god bless.
Hi Family you guys are looking great and so is the dinghy Ben you did a great job on it! Enjoy yourselves and be careful! Remember to "Watch where you go and remember where you've been."
We're not cruising this season, but it's always fun seeing places we've been. Will look around Esty and see what interest us. Thanks for keeping the content coming.
So glad you got the Yamaha 15 HP. I had a Yamaha 15 4 stroke on my 14' Sea Nymph for over 20 years and it moved me along a 17 to 19 mph with ease. You should be able to do the same or a little better all day long. Love your videos and glad you are back on the water.
I think for this season Molly needs a solid promotion. Perhaps Coxwain or "she who pilots the dinghy". Said promotion comes with a really neat hat and a tattoo. Ok, maybe the insignia tattoo is a bit much for now, but definitely a cool hat.
Could you lift the dinghy transom in the center with a halyard and then it should be easier to spin it upright? Perhaps another line on the bow eye as well.
I was just wondering if Shark Creek has much of a tidal influence (if so, did you wait until around high tide to go)? When I was anchored in the Bahamas, it was always nice to see my boat when returning from an adventure. Anchors do work 😁
Yay! Ben has new mirror shades at last! About time.. that last pair were looking pretty ratty. (Speaking of which, you do seem to be pretty rough on them, mate!)
I’ve had this fresh pair for a while. The trouble is that the salt water spray makes the color come off the lenses badly, so I rarely wear them. The old ones sure do look ratty, but I’m carefree when wearing them. Even if they get lost overboard, no biggie!
So the salt makes spots where the color comes off and that distorts the vision through the glasses. When it gets bad enough I literally take salt water and scrub the rest of the color off. Clear vision restored, but then they look horrible. That’s been the story with probably close to 10 pairs of shades I use on the boat.
Curious... How are U liking the LUND over past dingus'? I like em. Mostly fuel economy, transit times, and most important The RIDE??? They can be a little slappy in short chop, but very stable. Keep giggling. 😋😛
Dingus. 😂 Anyways, I've got you. We love it, o course we love our nesting dinghy as well, but this one is waaaaaay faster and gives us incredible range. The nesting dinghy really only gave us the ability to explore the surrounding anchorage, but it was smaller, simpler, and was a lot of fun to sail around as well. We do adjust speed in chop to not slap the flat bottom, but it's no big deal. We can still plane, just more slowly to keep the angled V of the bow lower and splitting the chop.

Always a real pleasure to visit my Bahamian Brother. Till we meet again. 🛳
Loved the beach landing footage. Killer creative shots.🎉
Thank you.
Good to see some good old fun and exploring video ! Enjoyed it very much.
Thanks 👍
The nature sounds on the beach and under water were relaxing and enjoyable…..
Glad you enjoyed it.
Just seeing you guys enjoying what you went there for, the nature, the water, to me made this one of the best videos I've seen in a while thank you guys god bless.
Glad to hear it.
Someone had a good day. Great places to hang out and explore, lovely clear water. Maybe next time show us the little creatures you spotted.
Next time!
I will buy a rash guard if you will make longer videos ! 🤣🤣 Just too darn short, I can't get enough of you people 😁👍
C’mon man, I’m working for half of what a Taco Bell employee makes already!
@@Sailboatstory I feel ya bro. You know I'm about to be unemployed. 😛👍 ok, ok, I'll buy one so you can go get Tambi and Molly an ice cream
Turned out to be a GREAT dinghy! The tiller extension was a gangsta idea, too.
😎

Thanks David. We hope you find something you like on there.
Tinnie is cool and family too. Good job
Thanks!
Thank you for showing the map that shows your location in the Bahamas or where ever you may be sailing.
Glad you liked it.
U guys are a beautiful family
The dingy looks good going threw the water
We are loving that little boat.
So glad you got the Yamaha 15 HP. I had a Yamaha 15 4 stroke on my 14' Sea Nymph for over 20 years and it moved me along a 17 to 19 mph with ease. You should be able to do the same or a little better all day long. Love your videos and glad you are back on the water.
Oh yeah, that 15 2 stroke is almost too fast, even with all 3 of us aboard. Loving that motor on the dinghy. Turned out to be a great combo.

The hat is a nice idea, but she refuses to accept any title other than Swabby. She likes it too much.
Injoy guys this day
Thank you for the video! Sure would be nice to meet y'all in person...
You’re welcome. We are pretty great in person.
Have yall by chance kept up with the whereabouts of Sand flea, and her adventures?
Could you lift the dinghy transom in the center with a halyard and then it should be easier to spin it upright? Perhaps another line on the bow eye as well.
The dinghy is working out great. Is harder or easier to put on deck than your previous one?
Neither, just different. They were both awkward in their own ways.
Awesome video y’all. Does one have to go further south to get palm trees and white beaches?
Nope. Just go to those types of areas. Although. Palm trees are surprisingly rare in the Bahamas.
I was just wondering if Shark Creek has much of a tidal influence (if so, did you wait until around high tide to go)? When I was anchored in the Bahamas, it was always nice to see my boat when returning from an adventure. Anchors do work 😁
Absolutely. It’s nearly dry at low tide.
Yay! Ben has new mirror shades at last!

@@Sailboatstory - I'd often wondered why they deteriorate so quickly and completely.. that explains a lot. Thanks!
