You never talked so good about any place you have gone so far Sandra. Why didn't you stay longer?

I take it as an invitation to me😂

Great, so Bahamas the best. 🤗

And what Miami and Tornados 😮

Any foam wrapped around the mic will cut the wind noise dramatically. That's why most camcorders have foam on the mic.

Thanks for your input. I have attempted to reduce the wind noise on the microphone and I have succeeded to some extent - the problem is remembering to use the protection. To be honest we really need to buy a high quality microphone but sadly we can’t afford it at this moment in time. I did sign up to Buy Me a Coffee a few months ago in the hope I could persuade people to fund a good microphone but I haven’t got around to advertising it yet as I am slightly uncomfortable with the concept. But I may get round to it soon. Wrt to the timing, we are a little further behind time than I normally like to be - this is largely due to the number of places we stopped at in the Bahamas combined with me only producing a video every fortnight - ideally I’d do it weekly but it takes me far too long to commit to a weekly video. Sorry 😳👐 But I hope you continue to watch our videos and enjoy what we are doing. Please keep up with the feedback - it’s very important to us. Many thanks, John

@@jimmarshall5453 Sadly not quite true. I’ll try and add a bit concerning our microphone issues in an upcoming video. But thanks for the suggestion. We really appreciate the input. Cheers, John

Yes it’s a fantastic part of the world. I wish we had more time to spend in the Bahamas. Thanks for watching, I hope you continue to follow us. Beast wishes. John

I agree, barracuda are very tasty and we have eaten them many times. However, on entering the Bahamas we were warned not to eat the barracuda as they contain toxins. The barracuda eat smaller reef fish, some of which contain toxins, and these toxins accumulate in the barracuda. The larger and older the barracuda the more toxin they contain. This toxin cannot be removed or cooked out of the barracuda. Hence the warning. In some countries ( the Maldives for example ) advise only eating smaller barracuda ( enough for a single person only ) as they are too young to have accumulated much toxin. But I have to say it aggrieved me greatly to put back so many nice fish! However, I think the reason we caught so many barracuda was that everyone in the Bahamas puts them back so they can live to a right old age and there are lots of them as a result!😳👐. I hope you enjoy watching our videos and thanks for commenting - we really like the interaction. Thanks again, John.

@@sandrajohnnewmanwarnock2232 point taken. I can see why you throw them back now. It was a pleasure talking to you as such. And I enjoy watching your blog. Take care and happy and safe sailing

Thank you very much and we hope you continue enjoying our travels😀👍

When I lived on Eleuthera, the locals taught me that when barracuda are traveling in a group, they spear them and eat them. When they are alone, they are more likely to have fish poisoning, so they either leave them alone or sell them to a tourist.

@@jimmarshall5453 Interesting but I’m not sure how we would be able to do that while sailing. We hope you continue to follow us and also please leave your thoughts and comments. They are very much appreciated. Cheers, J&S

Thank you. I hope you continue to follow us and enjoy the videos. John

It’s nearly two years old but we haven’t seen him since then and so no pictures with us 😳😢

Thanks for the offer but I had one sent to Miami. The problem now is fitting it! John

Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed it. I hope you will continue to follow us. John

Thank you for your message and support. I hope you achieve your dreams 👍

Thanks Phil 😀👍

Sadly that’s not an option with the size of our panels 😳

😂

I’m not sure either of us are experts but we’re still learning!

Thank you very much for your lovely review.. we are sad we have not exchanged numbers.. best regards to your mum Becky & all the wonderful people we met in your party…. Most of all take good care of Brody we love his videos 🙏

Hey Donovan, great to hear from you and glad you are still following us. Hope you guys are well and hope to see you both in 2025!

Sadly opening a vent at the top is not possible - it’s the kitchen sink above. I don’t want to risk any water coming down from above 😳! However, I have fitted a second identical fan beside the first, so hopefully that will help 🤞👍

@@sandrajohnnewmanwarnock2232 Sorry John, I meant the top cover that you put in place at the 23:50min mark of the video. As hot air rises and with your 2 fans now that area should be cool

Thanks for that suggestion. Currently the fans are sucking air down from above and blowing it into the bilges. I did it that way as there is no exit above. But your suggestion to put a vent in the cupboard door is a good one - I’ll have a look at doing that. Thanks again. John

Hi Christian, great to hear from you. Yes we are well and hope you are too. Brest wishes, J & S

Thank you! 😊

Yes we have seen Black Jesus in Portobelo...thank you for following us...🙏

Great to know another Adventurous Capricorn..😂

No sorry I forgot all about him. But we didn't see many locals - they kept to themselves.

Thanks Keith. Hope you are well and thanks for watching. Cheers, John

Not entirely sure but it looked like a bit of the netting they sometimes use around the outside of building sites or events to stop people seeing inside. 👐

That’s what I thought originally but viewing the footage again, I was less certain. Thanks for the input. Very much appreciated. Cheers, John

Thanks, we’ll try to 👍

Yes it was nice. We don’t often have guests. Time you came and visited us 😃👍🙏

Thanks Gonzalo. Happy new year to you and yours also😀👍

Thank you Mary, we are grateful for your prayers, it keeps us sailing safely.

I know, I need a good microphone but they are very expensive 😢

Will try to improve the sound quality. Really need a good microphone but can’t afford it at the moment 😢

Thanks Bridget. Hope all well in the Gouda. 👍🙏
