Thank you!

You see it all too often, but believe it or not the capacity plate is not a legally binding capacity in a lot of states.

I wish we would’ve seen yall!

Finally here! I have a couple more Harbour Island videos coming soon also.

I am not sure what you mean by this? All of my information comes from very reliable sources very close to the situation. I don’t claim to be friends with Ed personally or anything and am very clear about the fact that this information is just what I am hearing and that some of it is nothing but rumor. Pretty much all of Ed and I’d mutual friends really like Ed and believe that he is the right man for the job. If you know anything that I don’t then I really encourage you to speak up and let the world know to help make this a proper transparent community.

I appreciate the kind words! I do my best to bring awareness to the area and bring business and positivity

Thank you for the kind words. I do my best to make everything as concise and easy to understand as possible. It’s not perfect but I try to get better with every video. Let me know if you have anything specific that you want to see in a future video.

@@NickOlinde Will do Nick. Topics I would like to know more about include how to save waypoints and info from a machine on one boat and put it on a 2nd (I have a Mako 21 for inshore/river/flats and 25' Grady for offshore). I'm curious if this can be done for different machines too, older Garmins as well as a nice Humminbird 12 I have. Thank you for saving me tons of time. I am envious of your screen real estate! I'd love to get one bigger than a 12 but I'm having trouble justifying and the fact that you don't get a mounting bracket with 16 on up is a problem for me as I don't have enough dash to put in a 16. Another thing I'm doing that others may be interested in is using active capatain android app. I bought a 4k resolution android car 15.6 inch tablet and plan to use it as a 2nd screen on my boat. I'm thinking it only echos what is on main one, but it would be awesome if I could split what is being looked at. If anyone knows on that reply-I plan to try hooking that up this summer. If interested I can come back and post my results. I live in Edgewater FL but snowbird north summer months, so I'll be back in fall. Gotta go catch some stripers and bluefin!

Customs is all done virtually through the CBP app!

Of course!

This was video was definitely about the crossing rather than the boat, but I do have access to the boat and can make a review on it if people are interested in that.

Welcome to the island! Haha I try my best to be a resource to everyone so I am glad that yall found it helpful! I have a lot more Harbour Island videos coming up

Thank you! I appreciate that!

I spent a lot of time at Bakers actually! They are very different and I will take Harbour Island all day long because it actually feels like a Bahamian island with all the craziness and imperfections and history. Bakers was built from the ground up to be a private/exclusive escape for the ultra wealthy. Harbour Island, not so much. While both are high-end places with excessive amounts of money, they are extremely different. I enjoy both, but would take HI over Bakers for trips all day. I didn’t even mention the culinary scene, the bar scene, etc. on HI.

We sadly didn’t when we were there! I wish we would’ve known this information!

@@NickOlinde well after watching the whole video, she is on Eleuthera south of looking glass bridge along Queens Hwy. Awesome little spot though def worth going to if down there and driving the island.

@@chelleandtom3217 Ohh I see. Well, we do have some Eleuthera trips coming up so I will have to try it!

And to have less things on the gunnel to either hit your toe or something. But in reality a cleat on the gunnel top and a cleat down below with a hause pipe do the same job, but down below I think they look better. Less busy.

I am glad it was useful for you! They are easy to order online or you can call Garmin direct and they can walk you through it

Eleuthera is a beautiful island! One of the most beautiful in my Opinion.

It’s a really awesome place! And I agree. Harbour Island was a very rich and colorful history

Staniel Cay is an awesome island also! I spent a lot of time there growing up. You are going to enjoy it there!

Thank you for the kind words!

I mean would you rather me just show pictures and videos of the boat? I try my best to actually explain everything and why things are as they are. I do agree that I have a lot of room for improvement and I am doing my best to make every video better than the last.

Registration is not expired, I just don’t have the new sticker on yet in this video. Our boat is always current with both registration and documentation. Next, I literally said at the beginning of the video that every state has its own age requirements but I live in Florida which doesn’t have any minimum age. I said in plain wording the information that you are saying I don’t know… and of course I am going to encourage people to do their own research about that. Laws always change and I am not going to put full liability on myself if something ever changed but people still followed this video word for word.

Yes. Prop walk is definitely a thing

I am going to make a video on backing boats into slips!

Haha I have to admit that my grandmother owns a unit there that she is gracious enough to let Meli and I use when we want. It definitely is pricey there though.

I wish I was there to meet yall! I am sadly heading back to Florida to pick up our boat as I write this and it looks like the weather is going to prevent me from crossing anytime in three next couple days.

It wouldn’t be helpful if I just visually showed y’all how to dock a boat. To be truly good at it and confident in a variety of docking situations you have to know the theory behind why you do certain things in certain situations. Understanding how the boat reacts is paramount to truly understanding boat handling.

Happy to be a resource.

You and I both actually. I think it was more of an oversight rather than an active choice. I am a firm believer that every boat needs a compass.

I would strongly disagree with you on overpriced. With current pricing they are pretty on par with other top-tier/high-end CCs in this size range. Obviously the Sea Hunts, Cobias, Sportsman’s, etc are a lot cheaper but they are also nowhere near the boat. You are paying for a top quality product and you get what you pay for. An Albury is a lifetime boat that you can hand down to your kids and they can hand down to their kids. I and many others highly value quality and and build quality and are willing to pay for it. There is a reason why a lot of people keep these boats for a lifetime. Not to mention they will outride everything else haha When it comes to the wet comment, all small CCs are wet in any sort beam wind. The Albury is definitely a low freeboard boat with no flare at all but I’m not going to argue haha

@@NickOlinde yea bro I don’t argue just my opinion I have driven a lot of different 23 ft Albury the 27 ft Albury is a different story I love that boat the 23 is just not capable to go offshore fishing from my experience nice content keep it up

The first coming on Wednesday!

@@NickOlindeNick I realize this is not an economics channel but how do you see shotgun shacks 500 feet from $$$$ mansions on Harbour Island? How do regular people afford to exist on the Island? Thanks

@@jimlarkin7859 it is outrageous. Because of the popularity of that place the locals are literally getting priced out of their own market. It is crazy. In the last 4-5 years the prices have really shot through the roof, much like all other luxury goods.

@@NickOlindeNick based on your family’s decades of experience In Bahamas would you expect real estate downturn there if we see one in USA? Ie Does Bakers Bay, Harbour Island take a hit or just stay same.. Thanks

@@jimlarkin7859 For the most part their real estate market pretty much mirrors ours with the exception of those super high end islands that you mentioned. The people who buy on Bakers or Harbour Island will always have their money and will always want their getaway. As whole a lot of the land/house buyers in the islands can afford it with whatever happens, within reason, but it definitely does tick with the US market excluding the islands mentioned.

I appreciate it!

You need to make it a point to come here!

That is not true whatsoever. I am on different boats all the time for my work and that statement is simply false. The greatest reason for sub par reverse performance is because of prop choice. Props drastically change not only performance in forward, but also in reverse. I have a 16 Egret with an extremely shallow dead rise and I have a pretty low pitched 4-blade on her and I borderline can not even control her in reverse. I keep that prop though because I love the stern lift and the ability to hop up on plane in no time if I need to to get off a flat. We also have a 23 Reef Runner which has a full 24 degrees of dead rise and I can back that boat up like a dream. If I changed the prop that could change in an instant. Prop walk is a real thing and is the biggest factor when it comes to performance in reverse.

​@NickOlinde "On a real boat" as opposed to the spaceship you're on.

@@ElCatrinMuerto correct

It was a call animal whatever it is

I do my best to keep it positive and make videos that do that for people!

Thank you for the kind words!

Thank you! I try to keep it as easy and simple to understand as possible.

I am glad that you found it useful! I try to make these videos as simple to understand as possible

Absolutely! I am glad you liked it.

Thank you! I try to keep it simple and easy to understand.

I appreciate the constructive criticism. I was just trying to thoroughly go over the topics and theory behind it so everyone knows what is happening. I always try to make each video better than the last so I appreciate the crtiticism

I am glad that you found it useful! All you need is to spend a little bit of time out there practicing and it will start to come naturally
