Hi! At 3:16 I’m 95% sure I’m one of the buddy boats behind you. We left from West Palm in early March, 2023, at 4 AM, we were two boats, and the size difference in our two boats looks like your video. It was our first offshore passage, for both of us. Just as we were turning into the outlet we saw a catamaran in front of us, and said “He looks like he knows what he’s doing, we’ll follow him!” (If YOU only knew how nervous we were)! Thanks for keeping us off the rocks. 😊. Just found your channel, and we’re enjoying it.
lol. Hi guys, I’m not sure of the exact date but I bet you’re right. We could hear you on the VHF talking to each other. I remember hearing you say something like, where did that catamaran go? We cleared the markers and took off before the weather could change. Funny, we had no idea either! The channel is quiet right now, I have tons of footage, I hope to get uploaded someday. Cheers!
Loved the excitement over the color of the Bahamas water. Can you believe that it’s going to get even more gorgeous as you go further South? The moment when you show the water color through your glasses and a dolphin suddenly appears was special. Very cool video guys. At long last - welcome to the Bahamas!

❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉Awwhhhhhh YOU GUYS DID IT AND WE ARE AT A LOSS FOR WORDS!!! CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU ALL-you have worked so incredibly hard at this dream and it goes to prove dreams really do come true if you follow your heart and mind😎⛵️🌴🏝️🇧🇸
That looks SO much fun, congrats on getting there. Loved your comment Corey, “but why aren’t you more excited…” made me laugh a bit too much 😂
"if it's going to happen, it's going to happen out there"___Captain Ron. Especially the weather.
West end is a good place to check in. You could have anchored out and come ashore. Way to go guys !!
We phoned customs and asked if we could anchor out and they said no, we had to bring the boat in. Maybe that was an “ask for forgiveness” situation…??
@@SaltyEscape maybe, look out for a boat called Sailing Another Summer. They are a Kid boat and they are around the same area as you in the berries
Two things interested me: the Q flag! In ham, means to pass a message, kinda the same! Did not know that you could need more than one permit: fishing AND cruising! We will be making our first crossing in March 24!
So happy for you and your whole family! Team effort!
Congratulation. And best wishes.
exciting stuff! can't wait to see the next episode! Our kids are asking to get in the water too.
Great vlog..........love it.
Thank you!!
Love the videos U guys! That must have been a really great feeling having the dolphins welcome you in.
Hey you made it with no ultra red alert emergencies!!! Woo Hoo!!!
Hopefully the initiation phase is over.. ☺️
Ya made it to an amazing place, good for you. Now let's see what you do...
Woohoo Happy days, Well-done Guys
Thank you guys for sharing all of this with us.
Thanks for watching! I hope you stick around. The videos are about 3 weeks behind and we have had some spectacular moments.
@SaltyEscape I cant wait!
This is so amazing your family has had this wonderful experience together. I admire you all.
Stay safe, have fun and make memories
that must have been so exciting. congrats!
The views are amazing. You guys are rocking this journey !
Thanks Amy! 😊
Nice crossing, you picked a good weather window and the very early AM departure is not something every cruiser can handle, but it allows arrival in full daylight. Nice that the Covid restrictions have ended- those were a pain.
Great that both of you can steer and maneuver the cat and the kids should be able to do some in case of an emergency. Have fun in the Berries, but watch out for cruise ships at northern end at the cays they own.
Yessss!!!!
Thanks Steve!
Congratulations on your first crossing and dolphins!!!
Thank you so much 😀
Love the puppy cameo, having the right idea to chill. You will get through this. We are in Salvador, Brazil, enjoying your infectious enthusiasm.
Thank you so much!
Her excitement level sure went up when those dolphins showed up 😂
Oh Buddy! She’s still talking about those dolphins. 🤩
I'm so wanting to be you guys right now... 😂😅
Nice job.
The excitement in Corey's voice about the yellow flag and possible infectious diseases got me😂
Lol. You’re the first to mention that. I thought it was funny. 🤣🤣
"Were coming from another country and we might have infectious diseases."
You sounded a little too happy about that
LOL I work in healthcare, so it was funny to me. 😃
Any updates on when you'll be back?
Wait did you guys go the whole length under power? Sorry…I know nothing about sailing, didn’t know that was possible. Why not tack into the wind? Takes too long?
Hi! Yes, we motored. We have 2 39hp Yanmar diesel engines. There was no wind so no sailing. 😢
what boat you got?
Did you do all the way with the engines?
We were able to sail part of the passage but we still have the engines on because we needed to get there before immigration closed.
What program did you use for the clip at 1:15 ? Thanks
It’s an app called Travelboast. Don’t forget to sub to our channel. Thank you!!! 😊
Guys, I’m a 100% service connected Veteran.
I’m 51 and basically retired.
I’m complete novice. I’m single and my kid just graduated Army bootcamp.
you redo it? What would you change?
Thanks!
We would spend more money on a boat that doesn’t need as much work.
You need to find a different place for your USA flag
Completely agree! It’s obscured. We have been discussing options however it’s going to need to wait until we can get to a place to have a custom mount made.
