  • Running aground is a constant risk when Sailing in the Bahamas, but navigating over the shallow sandbanks with turquoise waters for miles around makes it worth while. In the rarely visited outer islands we find stunning deserted beaches all to ourselves before we visit Deans blue hole, the second deepest blue hole in the world.

    Honestly, every time I think your cinematography can’t get any better you go to the next level. This episode was just stunning from beginning to end.

    Holy moley Amy and Matt - those underwater shots of Florence gently sailing past were absolutely mesmerising. Would love to see an episode of how you produce your excellent videos, it was great seeing how you did the over/under shot. Also - this episode is superb, great seeing you two enjoying each others company. As for the blue hole you have visited - I've been to the one in Dahab, Egypt which was fantastic as well. John.

    I grew up sailing in the Bahamas in the 70/80s.

    Glad to still see some outer island nature.

    I've been following you two from the beginning. I remember when you got your new sails in Thailand and here you are already making repairs. You've come a long, long way in so many respects. Your videos are just fantastic - good idea to show how you get some of your shots! I've made a few videos that are just more like family videos on YT and I gained a huge respect for channels like yours that crank out these exceptionally well done and so very entertaining videos week after week. Bravo!!

    You know that trust is the bedrock, the foundation , of a great relationship as it is a prerequisite for respect and that is essential for friendship and love. This video is a wonderful resource for those whose relationships are struggling. I don’t think you planned it to be but in my humble opinion it is. Your touch on the world brings benefits you didn’t intend, thank you…
