I've learned more on your channel by far than any other sailing channel. I'm not a sailor yet, but my dream is to retire on a boat. I love your videos and your dry wit make my wife and I laugh frequently :)
Hi Holly...good to see you still sailing around the world! It's so nice when you sail into a strange place and the people welcome you and treat you like their own! Great video, also the snorkeling was very beautiful 😍. Stay safe..from the east coast of Canada. PS ...we had a 4 day snowstorm and the wind is wild!
So cool - I was doing flying lessons for my ATP in 1993 in Florida and was flying frequently to the Bahamas and once we stayed at Staniel Cay for a week. We rented a rib and did not know about the thunder ball crove & the wild pigs before we snorkelled in there. On the way back we wanted to make a break on a beach when we saw a pig coming towards us (waiting for food) and we panicked because we didn’t know. 😂There was not much else there in the 90s. I can see that it’s now a quite frequented spot. Thank you for taking me back to good memories Igor and many enjoyable Bahama mamas (cocktail) in the bar on Staniel Cay. Bahamian people are just lovely. Forgot the Conch Fritters
Really nice videos. I like how you talk about the likes and disslikes about all the boats. Talking about how to sail and also showing nice places. My dream is first and for most to just be on one and learn more. In future maybe own one. All regards from Sweden
One day we will hire you to be our captain. Been following your channel for a long while. Learned some basics sailing skills from your videos. You always said Croatia is most beautiful place…. Seems you like Caribbean more 😂 Keep filming and posting videos 👍 Uzdravlje pozdrav iz Kanade
Never thought i could have a holiday in such a place for the price of some data and a youtube subscription, much appreciated. just a trivial point, if its electric its called a motor, not an engine.
Great videos that you have produced. I'm curious about the synthetic teak. Was that factory installed or aftermarket? Is it hot to walk on during a sunny day?
Polarizirane sunčane naočale su obavezna oprema kada izbjegavate koraljne grebene na sjevernoj strani exuma! Puno se lakše vidi i manja je šansa da nasučete brod, a da ne spominjem koliko vam takve naočale štite oči od opasnog sunčevog odsjaja na porvšini mora. Od toga su odsjaja ljudi znali oslijepiti!
I wish I dived those coral head when I was there. There is probably a lot of life but we look at them as a nuisance when we are going somewhere. I saw so much life in the cuts where we often see them as danger because of current and rages, just a question of perspective. The Bahamas are weird. all thoses beachs, island beatifull water and not much to do or culture. It's mostly deserted and it become boring fast if you don't meet a lot of people.

Thanks 🙏
I've loved following this series, thank you for sharing!
Thanks 🙏
That shark at the end was a Nurse shark, they are pretty chill sharks that often let divers pet them. One of the safest to swim with
One word seeing the beautiful areas... Amazing!!!!
Thank you Igor!
Thanks 🙏
What a great gig teaching/coaching.
Thanks 🙏

Looks like a fun trip, jealous. I think those were *mostly* harmless nurse sharks.
Nurse yes 🦈
I thought I saw 1 white tip, but I could be wrong.
nurse sharks are not harmless clownboy
Great videos that you have produced. I'm curious about the synthetic teak. Was that factory installed or aftermarket? Is it hot to walk on during a sunny day?
Thanks 🙏 It gets hot yes. Otherwise it’s good and durable but I would go with normal teak and maintenance is easy.
Hvala. Jako lijepo
Hvala 🙏
Hi Igor. Top video as usual! Which camera do you use? Looks stabilized. Is it a DJI pocket 3? Sound is also perfect without wind noise!
Gopro 11. Thanks 🙏
Igor ! Another great video. Thanks ! If a catamaran was not an option, what would you say is the max draft to cruise around the Bahamas and enjoy it ?
Thanks 🙏 I would go with monohull with lifting keel, min draft 1m, boat lenght max 12m. Otherwise 1,6m is ok. 1,8m probably not, 2m not good.
are you an instructor to get a european boat license? (in germany it's sbf sea) ..because you seem to be a really good instructor
Thanks 🙏 I can teach but can’t give license.

were you hired for the whole season? The clients looked very happy 🙂
I just helped them for short time and now they go alone.
Welcome to the Caribbean
Thanks 🙏🙌🍻
maybe it's a good idea to 3D print a spacer for the belt / motor (that's what i would do). otherwise it will dmage the belt ...just a matter of time
Good idea 👍
Amazing!!!!
Thanks 🙏

@@2222Nemesis2222 Lagoon 40 not good boat. Lagoon 42 much better.
Great information Igor, Thankfully nurse sharks are not aggressive towards humans. Cheers
Thanks 🙏 It still takes courage to swim with them as your mind is saying Shark 🦈
I bet it is Igor, not too sure whether I could do it !@@IgorStropnik
You missed all the secrets of Shroud Cay. You need to read the Bahamas Yachtsman's Guide
We will be back 👍🙌
Buen Viento.....
