HURRICANE SEASON is HERE. And we’re still 1500 MILES from the SAFETY of GRENADA. That means we’re MAKING TRACKS through the BAHAMAS. But we’re ALSO kicking the habit of WORK, WORK, WORK – we take every opportunity in the ABACOS we can get to CHILL and ENJOY THE GOOD LIFE, even if just a couple days at a time. It’s been TOO LONG! Enjoy!! And be sure to SUBSCRIBE for WEEKLY CONTENT EVERY SUNDAY! Cheers!!

  1. really hope you get that other engine going soon, it's SO much safer with two……and I know it's tough…..pullin' for you guys….nice to see you folks havin' some fun ! …..OnWard……

  2. Simply living the dream. Thank you for sharing. Fair Winds and Following Seas.

  3. Raising and lowering the kite, unfurl the headsail and use it as a shield. Lowering just release the tack and one pull in on the sheet as one eases the halyard.

  4. Having 2 problems with Rivers, he needs more lead in his drawers if he is going to winch the mainsail up and he needs to quit kissing the girls as it appears that he has had a tooth sucked out. thanks you are 1 of my favorite family sailing families!!

  5. Nice shave bro. I'm 62 and have a decent amount of frolics left. I wanted to go full on chrome dome and the young lady that does my cuts says "no, there's enough ugliness in the world". True story…and we are friends btw.

  6. 14:38…. look at that track! I don’t get how water can hold a track impression on its surface like that. I’ve seen it on YouTube drone shots mid ocean leading away for a mile or more. Surely all the little ripples would just travel along and over them? It’s very weird and passes my capacity to understand. Btw…. thanks for taking us along…. we really enjoy your vids.

  7. Quite handsome with shaved head monsieur captain! You guys looked so happy/content back in your element!

  8. We are headed to the abbacos on a charter in November . We have been web stalking Maxwell's for provisioning. Thank you the review! Helped relieve a stress point! Great videos and hope y'all have a safe sail down the islands!

  9. As I watch your channel and others with young children it reminds me of my pre teen years. My family had a power boat and we would spend weekends and summer on board. Great memories. That was over 65 years ago and the memories are still good. I would have loved to have my own sail boat and cruise. That boat has sailed. We have an off road travel trailer and explore the wild areas in the western USA. Keep up the good work.

  10. Glad your trip is going well. You deserve it after all the projects you have done. Question, what is the plan for your port engine?

  11. Just thinkin' out loud here, but you might be the only sailing channel with your own self written, produced and sung by Eric theme/Intro song… Am I right? And a damn good one to boot, nice work all the way around. And, also, thank you for being kind enough to share some of your dreams with us cathartic voyeurs. PS I'm open to you putting more of your talented work from your past life as a country music star in future episodes.

  12. Good to see I'm not the only one who sometimes winds up with the spinnaker hourglassed and tied in knots around the forestay. 🙂

  13. can you do a YT short about yalls tanlines? 8:33 is a great hilarious example of tanlines from shorts….

  14. You guys look great!! Looks like you lost Weight and Toned up while doing those stressful boat projects. Rivers is shooting up like a Bahia Grass Seed Stalk after a rain storm too!

  15. You don’t show use that side of boat life as you know we would all then be doing it…😂🤣

  16. Living the dream you guys. After all those boat fix’s you know why you do what you do in the boat fix period. All worth it.

  17. Rivers.s does not know how lucky he is living the sailing life. I bet he thinks it’s normal to see so much of the earth. Mom and dad and grandad you all doing a great job. ❤👍🏼

  18. Great episode! Interesting about the sail debacle. Glad you guys were able to work it out and still get some good rest. Looks like Rivers is turning into a valuable deck hand 😀. All the best…

  19. Hope Town – great place, vacationed there several times in a rental cottage as a teen. Seems like they have recovered from the hurricane of 4 yrs ago. Assume that was Hope Town Inn & Marina with the pool.
    You are the only sailing channel I've seen to sail in the Atlantic on the eastern side of Eleuthera vs. many stops (Spanish Wells, Governor's Harbor, Rock Sound) on the western side. Assume it was the schedule to get farther south faster. Did you sail thru the cut between Eleuthera and Little San Salvador Island?- that seems the deepest and without sand bars. I expect to sail catamaran in the Bahamas this winter after a Covid 19 cancelled trip in Feb 2020 and Georgetown is the furthest south we expect to go, before returning to the US.

  20. you guys are living the life the new boat is great it will be good when you get that other engine sorted. O on the hair cut I spend a lot of time in the sun in the aust summer and I have found if I shave my head its much easer to put on sun screen.

  21. Nice to see ya happy again…I know there cant be joy without suffering…but in this episode the JOY Is for sure spotlighted!

  22. Damm near perfect video. Lots of Zeke, adult beverages, sailing, problem solving, laughter, sunsets, etc. Could have used some buckeye gear ☺

  23. The video was on spot . wow you guys are really becoming the ones to watch if you want the real deal. Love you guys . keep it up😊

  24. Putting away the spinnaker…another one for the outtake reel. Would you put that before or after the great poo explosion?🤔
