We are a travel couple, looking for a non-mainstream life of living aboard a boat and cruising in the Caribbean/Bahamas in Winter, and the Great Lakes in Summer. Working when we can to fill the cruising kitty. We have sold everything we own, and we now own a cruising yacht. We have chosen to do this voyaging in a powerboat/motor vessel, instead of the popular sailing route.
Our mission is to help inspire people to live their dreams earlier in life, instead of waiting until retirement. So often retirement dreams are dashed by health issues or other unforeseen later life circumstances. If you have a dream, then dream, plan, and do it now. We hope to make you smile, and spark the yearning in your heart for fulfilling your dreams.

Thank you for sharing the wonderful picture of the turtle during your dive
Love seeing Cindi smile. Your a lucky man Shell.
I am. 🙂
I'm a Yankee. But it's really nice to see you guys showing your colors in the beginning of the video. God bless Canada 🇨🇦.
A friend from the south.
Thank you so much! God bless you as well. We love our American friends.
Thanks so much for this video. We've been land bound for two years and I so miss Eleuthera. It was my favorite.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video, learned quite a bit about sharks, thanks. Best reef we dove on was north of Conception Island in complete calm weather. 30 plus feet of huge coral structure and every large species you could imagine. Must be calm for a few days. Enjoy!!
Thanks for the google earth shots showing your path - love that!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yea, then I open the maps app and see exactly where everything is. We hope to do something like this when I retire as my millwright job doesnt allow me to work from home, oh well there is still summer on the Great Lakes until then.
Nothing wrong with the Great Lakes in the Summer!
Cindy that was great You two are adventurous !
Thanks!
The best part of the video is when the turtle comes by. Surrounded by sharks, the turtle puts life in perspective. Whenever you are surrounded by sharks in life, just chill.
Important rule.. Keep your hands to yourself, It kinda applies to life,I like that rule 😀
You guys are by far the nicest cruising bloggers in the Bahamas! Great content also.
Wow, thank you! That is very kind of your to say Ian. Thanks so much for watching.
@@SearchingforCShels I just sold my house on Exuma and have been sailing the Bahamas for 20 years so its nice to follow you guys.
I always enjoy watching your videos! Thanks for producing them!
Glad you like them!
Love the Canadian flag shot in this episode!!! :)
Best Country in the world. 😉
Thank you for this video! I’ve made the mistake of watching Shark Week on tv a couple years ago and have been scared to go into the ocean ever since. This video has put sharks into a totally different light.
Glad it was helpful! Sharks are friends. They just need to be respected.
Absolutely incredible !!
Wow, really impressive dive video in this episode. The canyons of Eleuthera are amazing. I remember reading about Eleuthera in Skin Diver like 40 years ago, but nothing compares to 4K video. Very nice work. And your shark dive was equally impressive. They say you haven't been diving until you swim with fish bigger than you are. Guessing that was very impressive to experience first hand.
Wow, thank you for your nice comment. It was an exhilarating experience for us. One that we want to duplicate sometime.
Shel, Fleming is my favorite too. Great looking Boat.
Gotta dream big. 😎
Great video for a rainy Sunday morning. Thanks for sharing guys.
Thanks Tom. Glad you enjoyed it.
Beautiful B roll.. Another excellent video!
Thank you so much 😀Glad you enjoyed it.
I'm from north Eleuthera hope to see you in Harbour Island Sometime!!!
Absolutely beautiful, thank you.
Thanks so much for watching!
Wow, great video and thanks for the moment to escape.
Now out into 25F and a foot of snow to cut some trees.
Thanks. Sorry about the snow...
Fantastic footage! Thank you guys for sharing.
Thank you my friend! Our pleasure.
Tollycraft 65 is half the price of those Fleming's ya know? Lol. Cheers you two! Bret and Talyn.
Half the price? Maybe quarter or less. 😉 Cheers Guys!
The under water filming was excellent! Thank for sharing.
Thank you Gary. That is kind to say. We are so glad you enjoy the hard work we put into that. Cheers!
Lekker man lekker
You guys are a great young couple I always enjoy your content.. I don’t miss a video keep up the good work 👍
Thanks so much for the encouragement. Means a lot to us.
Perfect video. This was my favorite. Cruising, marina, scuba, well done
Thank you very much Mike! So nice to say. We worked hard on this.
So excited to follow your stories, I just found you both! We live in Gravenhurst, Ontario and hope to be year round liveaboards at some point. In the mean time we live on our 1988 390 Express Cruiser at Lauderdale Point Marina on Sparrow Lake. We move back on the boat May 1st. Take care and be safe!
Awesome! Glad you found us. May 1st is going to be an amazing day. :D Hit us up anytime if you have questions on the liveaboard life.
@@SearchingforCShels Absolutely will be, we'll keep in touch for sure. Keep on living your best Life Ever! Thanks so much for keeping us informed and allowing us to follow along with your travels. I know it's gotta be a ton of work, so appreciative.
Thanks for another great video! Nice to watch when it’s -8 degrees farhrenheit here in MN.
Oh wow! 🥶 Glad we could warm you up a little bit.
Shark Dive was great. Sounds like you found new songs 😊. Hope all is well.
Hi Jeff! Thanks. Yes, we signed up for MusicBed. Gives us access to a lot of decent music.
Great episode. Loving the channel from here in the UK.
Thanks! Great to hear from someone in the UK!
Great video you all,,,,as always
Thanks 👍
Great video!! Loving the channel !! Greetings from Monterrey, Mexico
Awesome! Thank you. Hello Mexico!
Great video this week! It was perfect to watch while the show was falling outside. Loved watching the sharks. I hope you can make it back south soon and get back on the water.
Thank you Derek. We hope as well.
Living the Dream!!!! Thank you!!!!!!
Thanks for watching!
We've crossed Florida west to east via Okeechobee in our Island Packet to look at a Kadey Krogen in Stuart. We were so excited to see C-Shel II being well looked after on the hard! We poked around so hoping you might be there... alas... no Cindy, no Sheldon 😩. Weird being the only sailboat in a world of motor yachts and trawlers. We are switching to the dark side! 🙂 We have just been following you the last few months... love your vids. Hope to meet someday in a KK!
Awesome. We love Kadey Krogen yachts. Would love to have one. So cool that you seen C-Shel. We are missing her dearly. Welcome to the dark side my friend. See you on the water. Cheers!
I think being in touching distance of a shark and not touching it would be a challenging test of my self control.
I have been waiting for this!!!! We just purchased land in Eleuthera. Can't wait to see more! Amazing job as usual
Awesome! Thank you!
Great video. Reliving through you my time living on Eleuthera. I was a scuba instructor @Club Med.
That's awesome! Must of been a wonderful time.
We enjoyed the video, we've been waiting for one to drop, were also bi ge watching gone with the winns.
Glad you enjoyed Bill. The Winns are one of our favorite channels as well.
Great show
Thanks!
Great episode guys....I too am a diver and love to dive but I don't know if I would go in to dive with sharks....Cindy,,,,, you got some stones....LOL
Thanks Earl! Cyndi is brave indeed.
Hey Guys, Remember our time with you there at the Exumas as well as our dive trip. Keeping up with you on your videos. Great work - Gary and Alice
Hi Gary and Alice! Thank you! Hope to see you guys out there again sometime.
Really enjoyed the video!
23:56 what's the most important rule in shark diving? DO NOT TOUCH THE SHARKS. Someone please tell Ocean Ramsey.
Thanks Mary. Yes, Ocean Ramsey got a little bit of flak for that.
Hi Guys Snowing in Philly today your episode came at a great time. Cotton Bay is a reel Dive! (And on our list) Nice work and again great video, looking forward to meeting up someday. TK
Awesome! Thank you Tom. See you out there.
So nice to see this video when its 0 degrees here in Wisconsin,
🥶
on snowy Sunday morning here in Maryland, nice to see sunshine and you guys..... have you at least been able to get back to the boat to check on it? as always, be safe Tim and Cat
Thanks Tim and Cat! No we have not been back yet. We are now trying to balance our time in the US and our ability to come back to Canada with the new restrictions. So many variables.
I'm in the process of shopping for a boat to do exactly what you guys are doing. Hopefully find something by spring. I'll keep a lookout for yo guys when i get there - would love to say HI
Would love to see you out there! Good luck on the search. Keep us posted on the progress.
Great video guys! Where are all the people? Seems like you have the entire place to yourselves! Very relaxing video!
Thanks! Yes, we did have it to ourselves.
Other than the middle portion where you were trying to get in touch with your inner artist, this was the best production to date. Unfortunate that you couldn't hit upon the dining and shopping options at/near the resort. At $2.50 a foot and a $300 credit, seems like a no brainer to stop with a 40 footer for a few nights.
HaHa, yes sorry about the failed artistic montage. 😀 Thank you. Shopping? No we didn't know there was any shopping close by.
@@SearchingforCShels shopping=provisioning I didn't mean Bloomingdales (or Holt Renfrew to translate for you guys). Signed up for the resort's email list
LOL!
We anchored in Rock Sound a few years ago, and I never even knew about that resort. It looks pretty nice.
You'll have to visit next time. 😉
💯
Here in Key West....nice seeing the videos...but you guys gotta back here and to the bahamas soon....😁
Hi Mike in Key West. We are jealous... lol. Yes we are dying to get back.
Great editing for that diving sequence. You’re living my dream!
When was this filmed?
Thank you! This was before the pandemic.
Instead of "Searching for C-shels" you should rename to "Hey Sheldon"! love your vids
LOL. That might have to be Cyndi's second channel. 😜
Love your hardtop. We are looking to upgrade from a bimini to a hardtop and add solar this fall on our 44' DeFever. What kind of top is that? From the home of Tollycrafts, WA State!
That was Really fun! Wonderful job! Fantastic editing!
Something I think few noticed was how smooth a boat that large runs up on plane. When the seas get bumpy there is nothing like getting after it a bit to smooth things out! If I may...what do you cruise at when at a "fast cruise"? What Horsepower engines are you running? We run twin 330 Cummins , but I Think I remember seeing Cat Yellow in a previous video. 3208's? About 300 Horsepower? I'm guessing you must be in the mid 40,000 pound range wet?
Thanks guys! Yes, she has 375hp CAT 3208TA's, and yes she is over 40,000 wetted out. She does cruise very nicely at 18-20 knots. I love it going that fast and hitting larger waves, sending water about 30 feet off of each side. 🌊
Hey guys, just started watching your amazing adventures. We're heading from Alberta do do similar things on our boat . Would love to chat and possibly tag up with you.
No wet dreams about the Fleming I hope? :P You probably know, but Tony Fleming as a great TH-cam channel.
LOL, no comment.
Yes, we sub to Tony Fleming's Channel. Great stuff.
hi, thanks for all the vids.. are there any reefs/dive sites in the bahamas similar to the one in this video where you can moor your own boat and dive directly off your boat? i've noticed there is a ton of snorkeling in the bahamas, but we really enjoy diving reefs 30-60 feet deep. I imagine anchoring is impossible/illegal due to damage of the reefs, and other countries we have been to have mooring balls drilled into the ocean floor for the dive boats. again thanks for all the vids!
Nice one guys. Have your Docs given you a estimate on when you can resume your explorations ? Stay healthy, stay positive.
Thanks Brien. Yes, I'm good to go. We are trying to balance the pandemic, and our time we are allowed in the US per year. We have a bunch of projects to do when we arrive so we won't be jumping right over to the Bahamas.
I found the shark briefing quite interesting and the underwater photography wonderful. I would have been quite apprehensive. It looked like there was a cage or something lowered from the boat. Was there bait in there to attrack sharks?
Thanks Roy. Yes, that was a bait box. It does attract them, but they don't go into a feeding frenzy because they can't get at it. They are not fed by this dive operation. They do not want the sharks trained to associate food with people.
@@SearchingforCShels Makes sense. Thanks for the explanation.
Another great video! Did you guys make it up to Spanish Wells? JC
Thanks JC. Yes, we did get to Spanish Wells, as well as Harbour Islands. Coming in the next few videos.
@@SearchingforCShels We are hoping to spend a month there later this fall. Looking forward to your next video's. BTW, The editing and quality of the video was outstanding. Keep up the really great work. JC
Great video! Did the guy tell you when you need to get out of the water? Ie. bulls or tigers?
Thanks Ed. No he didn't say to get out. There are tigers and bulls in the area, but we didn't see any.
we love your videos just wondering is your boat gas powered or diesel
Thanks! She is diesel. Twin CAT 3208 TA 375HP
What do you guys use for internet while on the boat in the bahamas? Looks like satellite is way too expensive.
Great video!! What kind of sharks? Cheers
Thanks! These were Caribbean Reef Sharks.
Love your videao. Most other I am subscribed are sailors. I am not a sailor. Wondering what is the fuel budget needed for a lifestyle like yours? Please point me to a previous video if you already have addressed it.
Thanks Luis! So glad you are enjoying the content. We have addressed your question in a few places. One is this video. th-cam.com/video/QpNBt0L9ww0/w-d-xo.html
The other is this blog post which contains two videos of our total cost of cruising.

Hope this helps. Cheers!
What's your favorite spot, Abacos, Exumas or Eleutheran Islands? We are on a 50ft PB and planning to go in April from Ft. Lauderdale. Only sailed once in the Abacos, 2018, and fell in love with the Bahamas. Loved watching your videos in the Exumas. Thanks for the great content.
Thanks for watching Jess. Hands down the Exumas for us.
How often do you have to put up with unpleasant seas at night? I noticed a few videos you put out a swell bridle but it still looked pretty rocky...can you just go from secluded area to secluded area so it's flat at night? Great videos as always..hope yall are doing well, can't wait for your return to the open blue!!!
Great question. It is difficult in most of the Bahamas to get protection from wave action 100% of the time. Winds change overnight and even when you have wind protection the swell can round corners and make an anchorage rolly. When out here you will need to prepare for a few rolly nights. Having the swell bridle in your arsenal can save a night's sleep.
*I* have dreams about having a Fleming.
You and me alike John.
An afternoon dive, that's when the bastard's start to get hungry, ha ha.
lol
Stuart’s cove for diving, done it 3 times
Thanks! We just added them to the list.
@@SearchingforCShels I have not done their "Shark dive", but each dive I've done with them has had plenty of sharks.
How many knots are you going when crossing?
8 knots mostly. 19 knots on plan, but that was only for about 20 mins.
Were some of the sharks tagged? I saw something on some of the sharks big fin that might have been a tag.
Yes absolutely, some of the sharks are tagged. There are a few scientific organizations that tag sharks in the Bahamas.
$300US?
yes
@@SearchingforCShels How much was a gallon of diesel?
I can't remember, but I think between $4-5.
Don't baiting sharks, not a good practice don't feed the animals he's a hypocrite
They were not fed. This is not a feeding dive.
