Good update. Saw another video of a sailor who had similar problems with where he anchored in Chub Cay. Nice to see Kate doing a little video for a change. Keep livin' the dream....
Didn't make it to Chubb on our last trip to the Bahamas 2014/15. But were there 7 years ago, and it was exactly the same. No one there, hardly, pool empty. We climbed the same coconut tree. You'll find many old half developed sites in the Bahamas. Difficult to sustain them, when the only way customers can get there is by boat or plane.
Have you considered a Single Side Band radio and a radio modem so you can get weather via laptop anywhere in the world? Through sail Mail you can send and get txt email as well. (you do have to get a license from the fcc for the boat and a operator license for yourself. I don't know about the coast of the boat but the operator is 50 bucks for 10 years)
Wow. Can’t believe your first underwater video in the Bahamas was in a swimming pool. Hopefully in future vids you’ll discover the real underwater beauty of the Bahamas. I’ll keep watching.
The coconut had the husk on it you have to cut that away to get to the shell. You need an axe or machete to cut away the husk. After you get to the shell there will be three round spots on the pointy end of the shell. The slightly larger one will be easy to pierce then you can drink the water. The shell can be busted open to get to the meat which can be dried and ground for flour.
I am looking at buying an Endeavor 32. I have watched your process of purchase, outfitting, and travelling around...and I love ya'lls videos, keep 'em coming!
Great video guys, I have been watching from the beginning. You do need to see if there is something you can do about the wind noise, perhaps a piece of foam or sponge over the microphone. Speaking of sponges, what you found on the beach there was actually an animal called a sponge. They grow so big you could almost climb inside one. If you end up in Grand Cayman, let me know and I will give you the insiders scoop on where to go and how to get the best deals.
I'm enjoying the videos,really great! Just wondering what The tie up cost are there.. I'm currently getting ready in the the next week or so to pack up and move on the boat..lots of work to do before we head out, we just got the boat in May! Looks like your having a blast We can't wait Take care
OUCH ! ! ! ! on minute 1:32 ... no friendly hand-wrist movement of that Bahamian..... It may not be point of your videos but I'd love to hear about aprox fees in the neighbor Island... thanks
Love the beach guys thanks for sharing! Not sure about that bar, ever notice no one ever gets up to pee at pool bars like that? Something to think about! Greeting from Springfield MA.
Great videos. Really enjoy them. You have mentioned inability to get up to date weather. I was going to make a suggestion : buy a good shortwave radio with ssb and get the weather fax app for your phones or laptop. But, I see from an earlier comment you mention ssb so I am guessing you figured that out.
I have to say the videos are really good you take us the viewers with you and now I'm learning about sailing you are living the real dream. How long are you staying south?
long reach There's a delay in the videos. Couldn't keep up with real time while the internet was bad down there. I also want to make sure I release the whole trip not skipping over anything.
Ouch at the 4.25 fee, I live in a world a reciprocal agreements here on lake ontario. I've never had to pay docking fees (besides yacht club membership fees) however the scenery/weather is clearly not nearly as nice.
I thought that was a kershaw.. I have that same knife and it's my favorite as well.. I broke the tip off of mine a few months ago, you can send it to them and for 10 bucks they will replace the blade for you
Another WICKED good video. I think a) the coconut has to be more 'brown' to be ready to open; b) pierce an eye (the coconuts) first to drain the milk; c) then hack it open with a machete (or large strong kitchen knife). Thoroughly enjoy your videos.
+Ken Lynch the green coconut has the most amount of water. and was totally fine the size the only problem was the technique hahaha but is fine you guys can learn! by the way ii love all the videos!
Giles Theriault Brutal! I'd recommend a SSB, pretty much pays off from the marina fees we spent. Oh well its been a learning experience for us and we pulled it off safely!
I heard a thing recently about dogs drying themselves like that because they are trying to get their "home" scent back on them. I don't know if that is true at all but great videos.
Do you guys use Active Captian Web site, if not you should great resource with reviews of achorages, marinas ect. Just a hint, and its free. Love your videos by the way keep up the good work.
Misti Rose Don't take drinks from strangers kids. I don't watch horror movies, hollywood cinema has always done a good job tormenting me, Jaws and Insidious to name a couple
Wicked Salty LOL good tip ;) I love a good horror movie. Stay safe and we look forward to all your videos and hope to join you all on the water as soon as we can. :)
Here's a vid you can watch. Disregard the first method - you need a hatchet or large knife of some kind. Might be best to grab a few and have one of the locals de-husk them for you. Cracking the shell is comparatively easy. th-cam.com/video/5LF_xNvw3-E/w-d-xo.html
So nice to see you guys alive and living the dream.........but..........frankly you liked to use the term sketchy when in Florida.....well.......the "Hill Top Bar"......looks kinda.....well....."SKETCHY"!!!!!! Just saying.......For what its worth, I have been there more than a few times and you guys really need to......well....you know........
Kenny worked for the marina, we were in good hands! We always play it safe, sketchy is Florida in terms of opportunistic thieves maybe as in anywhere else you may think. cheers man hope to see you out there!
Dude companies still make carbon copies of your credit card?! That shit is not safe with all the fraud going on nowadays. Someone needs to tell em about square, that's what I use...
Good update. Saw another video of a sailor who had similar problems with where he anchored in Chub Cay. Nice to see Kate doing a little video for a change. Keep livin' the dream....
"It's like a sponge!"
"It is a sponge" 8-)
Sailed that area in 1998. Oh yes the water is insane. Open a coconut from the top core, you can even do it with a sharp stick.

Man y'all have a perfect life. I really enjoy your videos. If I was in y'alls shoes I would never come back to civilization.
Literally watched this while I was in class at the college! Couldn't wait to watch lol . Great video ⛵️👌
Grampian Adventures Haha dedication!

John Doe Good tips!
Wicked Salty BTW the water is high in electrolytes which is great for preventing/ curing dehydration.
Chub is always like that. It rolls even on the calmest days.
haha when I saw you get out the knife I new it wouldnt be good
Thanks for posting another video. I am enjoying your adventure. I sailed into Chub Cay 30 years ago. Looks a little different now.
jim miller Must be wild watching this then. I'm sure you'll flip out as more comes out!
GREAT video as always. Its to hot to work on our boat here in FL so thanks for the latest. Keep them coming when you can. Back to sanding :o)
I am looking at buying an Endeavor 32. I have watched your process of purchase, outfitting, and travelling around...and I love ya'lls videos, keep 'em coming!
Fantasea Dive Nice! Good luck on your purchase!
Great vid guys.Lola is so cute.
Beerpig The cutest! Thanks
dude that looks awesome, tryna go on a solo sail down to florida, than to the caribbean as well. Is every night like that lol ?
That hangout was a little sketchy lol
Nah all good fun! Chub's not sketchy at all, if it were a Nassau bar...

Looks like your having a blast
We can't wait
Take care
Giles Theriault I think it was $4.25 a foot. Too much for anywhere, even in the Bahamas. A fine example of supply and demand I think.
you guys are having so much fun...damn I'm jealous, another great video, well done..
Ricardo Weitzel It's an experience for sure!
OUCH ! ! ! ! on minute 1:32 ... no friendly hand-wrist movement of that Bahamian..... It may not be point of your videos but I'd love to hear about aprox fees in the neighbor Island... thanks

Love your videos! Thank you
Do you have a boat tour video? Would love to see all the things you have/need to do this type of adventure.
Matt Bond Trying to make one soon!
sweet.
while you were opening that coconut I was saying to my self...careful. I snapped my Kershaw leek doing somthing like that.
And love the dog.

Sailing Nervous We're already back in Georgia! We were in the Bahamas from March to June
I have to say the videos are really good you take us the viewers with you and now I'm learning about sailing you are living the real dream. How long are you staying south?
j glesby On our way back up now! In florida working our way
Anyone know what the song title is playing at 12:00?
Did you ever get the coconut open? You should have Googled it. Looks like you guys are having a blast.
Doug Burton We got a machete later on :) you can't always google things off the grid either, a situation where most take for granted ;P
Sweeeeeeeeet. Nice place. What happened to my knife that I gave you last Christmas?
Gotta love that Hilltop Bar...classic
are you heading through nassau. I have many great local places in the exumas
long reach There's a delay in the videos. Couldn't keep up with real time while the internet was bad down there. I also want to make sure I release the whole trip not skipping over anything.
You guys are the coolest. Love your videos. The little dog is cool too. Keep sending them videos man. Watch out for the sun burn. USE SUN BLOCK.
Ouch at the 4.25 fee, I live in a world a reciprocal agreements here on lake ontario. I've never had to pay docking fees (besides yacht club membership fees) however the scenery/weather is clearly not nearly as nice.
Mattmm83 supply and demand in the bahamas
That pool has a great view of some beautiful water. Wonder what that's like. :/
The island of chub gives me a chub!!
safety first? now about some sunblock for that schnozzola
Hee Hee Hee... Schnozzola! 😋
I thought that was a kershaw.. I have that same knife and it's my favorite as well.. I broke the tip off of mine a few months ago, you can send it to them and for 10 bucks they will replace the blade for you
Jeremy Murphy damn, upon this situation I tossed it over :/ but the leak rules! super sLEAK
Nice video. Thanks for sharing

Ken Lynch Thanks man!
+Ken Lynch the green coconut has the most amount of water. and was totally fine the size the only problem was the technique hahaha but is fine you guys can learn! by the way ii love all the videos!
Any issues with the dog? Do you need vet papers to get into ports?
You guys are my hero !!
Jack Hoffman No issues with Lola, they didn't even care that we did the documentation when we cleared and that was all!
fish everywhere, yet your not catching any to eat.......?
Cool... next time file the thunderstorms! Let the good times roll!!!!!
Jimmy D We've got some storms on camera coming up for you guys ;)
Folders suck... Fixed blade, full tang always.
alls i know is i want a Wicked Salty t-shirt. and visor. nice tag in the bar bathroom.
Wow..brutal tie up fee. I guess we will be on the hook most of the time. Tks! Again
Giles Theriault Brutal! I'd recommend a SSB, pretty much pays off from the marina fees we spent. Oh well its been a learning experience for us and we pulled it off safely!
did the coconut win ?
Tom Figley Took my favorite knife and my skin. Unwillingly I think so!
sry to hear that... love the videos keep them up!!!
+Wicked Salty at least it wasn't your foreskin. 😉
I heard a thing recently about dogs drying themselves like that because they are trying to get their "home" scent back on them. I don't know if that is true at all but great videos.

"There is no supervision".........LMAO......Are you guys at a prom? lol...Great Video...Thanks for sharing your journey
It means Lola has free reign! Cheers man
Ah hahaha! Good one!
Love the videos! Be careful though, Too many scary movies start out with meeting a new friend and going to party with them..Devils Due comes to mind.
Misti Rose Don't take drinks from strangers kids. I don't watch horror movies, hollywood cinema has always done a good job tormenting me, Jaws and Insidious to name a couple
Wicked Salty LOL good tip ;) I love a good horror movie. Stay safe and we look forward to all your videos and hope to join you all on the water as soon as we can. :)
I just watched insidious one and two trailers now because of this... insidious 2 trailer....
Wicked Salty lol Im sorry, you gonna be ok? Those are good movies :)
Awesome videos I have really enjoyed watching your journey so far. Hope to do this myself one day!!
Scott Stanley Thanks man!
Was getting worried about u 2!!
Can't believe in 12 hours I'm on episode #42
I hope you get your wind noise figured out farther in to these videos.
Great video, loved it and party like the locals!
cool update. :)
You need to invest on a good machete if she is going to keep knocking coconuts down
flacousa62 We got one in Rock sound, but it was a little late in the trip :/
+Wicked Salty or you can find a hard surface, hold the coconut firmly and continuously smash it
FINALLY AN UPDATE!!!!
lola is the best!!
Yo. Get some sunscreen on your nose.
Here's a vid you can watch. Disregard the first method - you need a hatchet or large knife of some kind. Might be best to grab a few and have one of the locals de-husk them for you. Cracking the shell is comparatively easy. th-cam.com/video/5LF_xNvw3-E/w-d-xo.html
According to the website the Marina fee's are a whopping $174 a night!!! OUCH! No Discount??? Drops to half that 7/24...
simplistiksoftware $4.25 a foot
Machete will do the trick. Hacksaw will work eventually.
So nice to see you guys alive and living the dream.........but..........frankly you liked to use the term sketchy when in Florida.....well.......the "Hill Top Bar"......looks kinda.....well....."SKETCHY"!!!!!! Just saying.......For what its worth, I have been there more than a few times and you guys really need to......well....you know........
Kenny worked for the marina, we were in good hands! We always play it safe, sketchy is Florida in terms of opportunistic thieves maybe as in anywhere else you may think. cheers man hope to see you out there!
Nah... That place wasn't sketchy at all. You haven't been around enough I suppose.
Dont get Burnt from da Sun kid
recognizable(sorry for the engloish). Our dog does rhe same
