The holidays are approaching fast (yes, I know this video is a month behind real life) and we have family flying into Freeport on Grand Bahama Island. It's not exactly a desirable location to stay for a cruiser, so we're trying to make the best of our sailing adventure north.
Our route has us backtracking up the Sea of Abaco and we're focused on finding new anchorages in the Out Islands. An underwater national park, some lobster hunting, deep sea fishing and of course sailing. Hope you enjoy.

Thank you for tossing back the juvenile Skip Jack. No one on the ship is starving and you're giving that little one a chance to grow into breeding size.
it would make great bait, though, to catch something bigger!
Yes, that little one was too young to keep.
Ha! I found myself yelling, "don't throw that back, it's a tuna, it's a tuna!"
Where were you when we needed you David! :)
Wasn't it too small to be a keeper?
If a thrown back fish is the only mistake or something gone wrong is the worst that happens you got it made. Especially when no one knew what it was...... great video, keep them coming 😀
"hey shark bait" too funny for words with a deadpan to die for lmao
Thanks again for Sunday morning dreaming... Enjoy stay safe and have fun ❤
I'm an old rag bagger,stink pot,deck ape boater. Sooooo happy for you guys. At first... a little worried for you. Now not so much. I done my PFD 'Allways' on deck. Fore deck for sure. Nice Sail set.
If it helps. flying the shoot. Think of it like driveing a team of horses. It's all about the Sheet and Guy. Helm centered. Yup.. Setting a wisker pole helps in lite wind. Good Drill too.
We don't have a whisker pole on the cat, it's just a free flying asymmetrical spinnaker
Gone with the Wynns, didn't you have a whisker pole in Florida? I remember you taking it off and wondering if it would limit your ability to go wing on wing downwind.
These videos are such a treat, I used to have a boat and now RVing!!! This is the time of your lives!!!! Enjoy. :)
just spent a week in elbow cay. Miss it dearly and watching these videos are putting me back!
I always enjoy my lazy Sunday mornings watching your adventures. I LOVED the views while snorkeling on this one...beautiful.
Nothing beats those early morning sunrises. I lived in South Florida off and on, and those sunrises were awe inspiring.
Love your videos and music so tranquil and peaceful. Thanks for sharing much appreciated!
Nikki, It's all good. It just makes for a great story later on. I learned pretty early that if I'm going to laugh about something later, I may as well laugh now.
I just love watching your vids for the pure enjoyment of it all. Way better than National TV junk. :) Enjoy!
love thoose drone shots, never too many of them! Fair winds!
Great video. Loved watching the SkipJack tuna body surfing. Now you know and next time it is LUNCH. Be safe
Great video guys. Understand the butterflies Jason, too close to davey jones locker. It's a big ocean Nikki, that was a good catch and you'll have more, was wondering where it's mommy was. Thanks for the adventure.
awesome fishing skills Nikki and Jason! 🐟
Another envy inducing video. We're in Slovenia for another week and it's rained torrents the last week. We did go to see Lake Bled which was amazing though. Travel is so great. Thanks for inspiring and happy travels to all in the comments section!
Your adventures continue to inspire my future travel plans particularly as I take in the DT concrete jungle from high in the sky here in Toronto on what is a rather dull day. Trade places lol. Have a great day.
Too bad about that tuna, if that's what it was. I love how we never saw Nikki's face after that.....hahaha
I'm enjoying your southern adventures. Our family did what your doing back in the mid 60's when I was a kid. I'm pleased to see that the Abacos haven't changed to much except for a bit of development. I hope you carry oars in your dingy for emergencies? Don't think I've seen them. Sorry if I'm wrong. Bill
Wonderful videos! I experience the butterflies in the gut with you. May your lessons all fall within your skill set. Appreciate your sensibilities about not wanting to kill something you might not consume.
I've been following you guys for awhile . . . since the RV days, and I always get excited to see your next video. This one was great. I'm a push-over for a lady with short hair. So thankful you two produce such great content. I hope you can keep it up for a long long time because there's so many of us that truly enjoy and find it great entertainment.
Your videos are getting better and better! There really isn't an exact reason why I am saying that, but I find myself anxiously awaiting the next video to show up in my subscription box! Love your sailing adventures!
+millerhomelife thanks guys!
Man O'War is a cool little place.
Always love the underwater photography of the reefs.😀👍
You are such a wonderful couple, love your adventure and your cats.
Gretings from Croatia.
excellent video...I would have sea sickness for sure with those winds...great drone footage
We love following you on our home school map. Great video and opens up some great conversations with our children. We really enjoy how you explore both land and sea. Now we are learning about different fish. Thank you both!!
If you find some good identification charts please send links our way :)
Skipjack have a bit stronger flavor than yellowtail, yellowfin, or blue, but are great eaten as sashimi, pan seared, or even steamed if you like traditional tuna fish sandwiches. Traditional canned "light" tuna is usually Skipjack. Be careful not to overcook as the smaller ones like you caught have less fat content. They have less mercury than most of the bigger tuna, and certainly less than the dorados/mahi-mahi that I see other cruisers catching. Enjoy the next one!
Skip jack is gnarly!!! Some people eat it... but not like a black fin, yellow fin, or blue fin.. makes great cut bait for snapper and grouper fishing.
Thanks for another great video.
Happy Cruising!
Love the video..Hope all goes well...as always ..continued prayers for your safety, health, and prosperity
Ive watched all of your videos you guys have inspired me to travle and soon my travles will start :)
At the start of the video you have way to many wraps on your winch for the spin sheet. Unless you are in hevay wind, It is better to have less wraps on the winch to make it easier to ease and trim. It also takes some of the load off of the winches too. We love you videos! Keep em coming :)
Cool, noted. Thanks for the tip.
We anchored in that same spot at Man O War last month!
Your videos are always so great. I get so excited to see new videos post. Im excited to say I start boat shopping at the end of the month :)
YES!!!! Good luck finding the "perfect" boat
Nice video, when flying a spinnaker always carry a knife to cut lines to the sail if you get a sustained wind from anywhere but from the stern. the sail flying free is better than having whisker poles flying around the deck.
fortuneately we don't have a whisker pole as the spinnaker is free flying...but that said the lines could easily do some damage in a blow.
A chinese gybe comes to mind but that's more dangerous on a monohull than a cat.
Yippie! My hometown :)
Remember that tail (thin sharp crescent with nobblies). Almost all tunas and cousins have it, and no matter what kind they are, they're worth eating.
As always I wish I was there great job Love your energy and excitement keep having fun be safe and have ☀️ downer for me
Snorkeling shots were amazing.
Terrific video, I just love the drone footage.
Really nice. Superb video quality.
Oh wow! Over 30,000 views in only one day.
Love your videos.
Your drone work is getting very interesting. We used to visit people on Man O War Cay back in the day when the power was turned off at 10:00pm. WAY back in the day.
That was a skipjack. Great Marlin bait. You will find it easier to wear a fishing belt and pump the rod and reel down for larger fish. Wonderful videos by the way. Enjoy watching them.
The fish..... live and let live...good for you...
Great video - great music too, I've been using Lakey Inspired in my vlogs too :-)
Great video as usual :) ... no worries you guys I wouldn't of known what kind of fish that was either in all the mayhem but that skipjack tuna would of taste great, I have skiphack tuna in a can in my apartment and it tastes great :)
It definitely was a Skipjack. :-)
Hi guys. Love your videos! What was the water temp when you went snorkeling? We're heading to Castaway Cay next month for some snorkeling and we're not sure if we can get by with a swim suit and T-shirt or if we need a wetsuit. (i.e.: 3mm shorty).
Thanks.
Beautiful snorkeling 🐟🐠🐚🐟🐠🐡
Try using weights and a weight belt to counteract the buoyancy of your wet suit when snorkeling. You'll def be able to stay down longer since your not fighting the buoyancy. Maybe 4 - 5 lbs depending how thick your wetsuits are.
Really enjoying your videos since you started looking for a boat. However, I really worry about your safety on the boat when you don't wear a pfd while underway, especially when you are out in the open water , fishing off the end of the boat and you are not attached to the boat. It wouldn't take much for a good size fish to jerk you in the water. Stay safe and wear your pfd and clip yourself to the boat when fishing. Keep up the good work, you guys are fun to watch.
you're the best you tubers ever
I'm glad you through it back...i always hope you'll enjoy your veggies instead...heehee🍃
I had to watch one of your videos while Storm Nico hits us in the Northeast!
You had to warm up? :)
i went deep sea fishing and we caught a bonita which is a relative of the tuna. The captain said any of the tuna or relatives put them on ice for a few hours to kill germs then cut the meet in thin strips and dip it in a little hot sauce mixed with soy sauce and i will say it was fantastic.
So great! Thanks for taking the time to make this!
Great video! Can you guys include a v2 of this video and maybe just throw everything you have in unedited? It wouldn't take much time (hopefully) and I'd love to see more of everything.
so happy you let the fish go!
great vid as normal. Been a watcher since the Alaska trip. Just a thought, perhaps a light headset wireless of some sort paired to your tablet with space recondition so you can make log entries with your hands full. :)
oooh, nice call. adding it to the wish list now....
With food, always better safe
Hey guys - big fan of the channel..... quick tip re the wet suits..... try putting them on useing 2 x plastic bags to get your feet / hands in the suit - really works wet or dry,,,,,,
Keep it up
P
sadly we don't really keep plastic bags on-board.
Just saw this and stopped watching the gulf stream crossing for the 3rd time!
How can you be in the Bahamas if you haven't crossed the Gulf Stream?!? :)
I really enjoy the drone footage.
one thing I will say .....is checkout your mast for " metal fatigue " from the twisting by the sail caused by wind pressure ....in the old days wooden masts would drill into the deck
I would really love a chronological archive so I could go back to the very beginning and watch how it all unfolded!
wow guys jack lines and harnesses
Great stuff guys - thanks !
I just finished watching the first 60 video from you guys. I shall continue for the remaining 120 videos. I ordered a pizza and case Bavarian beer for the marathon video viewing.. Cheers.. :)
Oh man, I hope you aren't sick of us by the end. Enjoy the pizza!
Will see. I am on episode 67 now, Who knows, after I watched all your videos I am ready to retire being an airport manager and become a sailor. I am already looking at for suitable boats on the Internet. Lucky for me, I just live less then 200 yards from sea. Furthermore, Hongkong has an active sailing community and has very fine sailing opportunities. Cheers and take care. :)
well :) coming from this vegan, im glad you through him back. and ill bet his little heart he was glad to :) love yall stay safe. PEACE
I'm always bummed to throw back a fish as I know it would help sustain us, but a big piece of me is happy to let them go too :)
Skipjack are delicious fish, so much so that some people fish just for them. That's why a livewell is helpful. Pop it in there and check what it is, even a bucket of water works.
Good job guys, loving your videos.
+Gone with the Wynns TUNA!!.. oh.. so much sushi was lost this day. *sad face* I do however seriously love that you two have enough respect for natural resources that you cast it back in absence of knowing if it was a food fish. Next time.
You need to keep that fish chard handy for times like this. Looks like a fun sail.
Great Video!!!
skipjacks are great to use to catch a marlin but for marlins are in 300+m water
Enjoy guys !
1:33 Above and left of the Moon is Venus. I'm guessing that sunset was shot on Jan. 29.
You guys are doing great!!
You may want to consider a dive flag for when you are out there on your own in remote spots. Might be overkill but so is getting run over by a local trying to get home in time for dinner :)
Who was turn on NOTIFACATION SQUAD...??
Who love this couple? Give a Thumbsup to their video
Toot Toot :)
Ahaha... Hey Jason&Nikki.. love u guys so much..
from : Roni BWN
You guys are awesome. And after all your episodes I finally discovered who Nikki reminds me of. Well, her voice anyway. She sounds just like Jodi Foster in, Contact. I love that movie so that is not an insult. But yes, Nikki, you sound like Jodi Foster. Keep the videos coming. You two are a lot of fun!
Tristan Cruz I drank with, danced and kissed Jodi foster at a party in Chicago many years ago. You are right on, btw.
Nikki's eyes are way more alluring than JF's.
No, Audrey Hepburn!
No! Amy Pohler!!
Seems like I really opened up a can of worms. Sorry Nikki. Let's all just agree she reminds us of someone and that she is her own lovely person. I will agree that her eyes are prettier than Foster's, for sure. Actually I'll say that about all of it. It's just her voice reminds me of Jodi Foster. And for the sake of Jason not being left out, we'll say his eyes are Majestic too. Jason... you have eyes like a quiet ocean. I mean that in that in a bro way... dude. :P
Very Good.
Awe I wanted to see you catch the drone at the end. Kept me in suspense and then killed the feed.
When I went snorkeling at Fowl Cay I saw a 10ft hammerhead and a grouper that was larger than me
The difference between a diving party of 2 opposed to a diving party of 5 is, sharks don't bother with dessert after 5.
Was this video shot pre-Christmas? Excellent sailing adventure. Too bad you didn't get to bag the fish; expats would love eating that one.
yep, we're about a month and half behind real life :)
Thanks for the excellent videos.
Ooh what was the music around the 5:00 minute mark, loved the trumpets!!
both songs are from the artist listed at the end. I thought the trumpets were a nice touch too :)
Nikki love the head gear 😉
That was a great video awesome kiddo awesome
You have the best rv and boat videos in my view: have always been impressed by your narrative, camera shots in general, and editing: very good flow and pace. Too many youtube videos are just tedious to watch - prolonged headshot of someone going on and on in dreary monologues with no cutaways etc. So I was a bit surprised you let in those drone shots at the end: many typical video mistakes - which you have not let in typically. Guess it's to encourage the noobs? :D. You had stunning drone shots before. Anyway looking forward to your next episode.
Gees Nikki, sounds like you riding a wild horse...
And that was a Tuna... If your not sure, put it in a bucket of water and look it up... You can always throw it back after verification...
You guys seem to be able to hold a decent angle into the wind on that cat. Looked like about 35 degrees or so.
Red sky at night sailors delight, red sky at mornin' sailors take warning. ;-)
I'm sure she's still mad at you for tossing that tuna. Hopefully you know by now how good it would of taste. There's always more fish in the sea! Haha
am on video 47 and you ain't caught a keeper yet come on guys i have 1more day of binge watching you gotta catch a keeper lmao
For the wind noise in tha camera mic, you can use half of a ping pong ball over the mic. It will considerably reduce the wind noise without affecting the other sounds.
Love it! 😍
