Ep. 8 A Week In Our Lives Living On A Sailing Catamaran In The Bahamas

  • We could not be more stoked to be in Bimini after last week’s sail! It really feels like crossing the Gulf Stream was worth it, and although we immediately had to hunker down at a marina for the first time due to weather, venturing down to Honeymoon Harbor for crystal clear water and swimming with stingrays completely made up for it. We also finally tried that tinned mackerel that we have been dreading eating for the past 4 months.

    I have a tip for keeping food fresh, there are vacuum containers for food storage and vacuum plastic bags for fresh fish and other food that can be frozen, cheese that is vacuum packed holler 2-4 times longer, then if you put the fish out on a plate and use a fork and smach it with tomato the sauce will be much better, and greetings from Sweden

    • @patrickandmichaela

    If I wasn’t brought up on mackerel in tomato sauce, I would also feel funny about trying it. Fish in a tin that doesn’t expire for years?!?! 🤢😂 I love it on toasted white bread with butter, it’s delicious! In the UK they sell it in loads of different flavours like spicy tomato sauce, curry sauce, mustard sauce - we love it! Haha

      Normal seems to be just what you are used to! We didn't grow up with it but try to keep a very open mind of "If this is a normal thing people eat over there, there should be no reason we can't enjoy it over here!" It has really grown on us :) Thank you so much for joining us another week, we really appreciate having you here ❤

    Beautiful waters and some interesting sea life. I've eaten a LOT of Mackerel, but never out of a can. Something to try while at the dock, try spring boarding off of an aft corner, just have someone watching closely on the corner until the cat moves forward to leave the dock. The longer that cat is against the dock and moving down along side it, the more chances there are of a corner thumping one of those pylons. It's also dang hard for one crewmember to cover the entire length of the vessel.

    • @patrickandmichaela
      @patrickandmichaela  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      We definitely need some practice with docking spring lines! We tried a bunch of different set ups on the dock to figure out what was working and not working. It will certainly take practice but we will get there eventually :) Thank you for the advice ❤⛵🎉

      @@patrickandmichaela Ahh it's an honour to be part of the community and so pleasing to see you discover the beauty of sailing. Just as a thought but do make sure to remember these times when you're having a tough sail and something's broken .. that it's worth going through rough seas to get to turquoise waters on golden sandy beaches surrounded by basking sharks and stingrays. That's definitely the catch memory for me that would keep me motivated.
      And on a completely random thought (because that's how my brain works lol) but what do you do about music when you're busy sailing? Do you have decently loud speakers so you can rock / rave your way across the ocean? I've just realise that it's not something I've seen discussed ... presumably due to vloggers not wanting to demo and then suffer a copyright strike?

    Hey guys. New subscriber here. loving your can do attitude and content, keep up the great work. A couple of tips - Stugeron for seasickness ( a proper sea sickness drug available at least in UK where I come from. I as a part of the human trial process as a Sailor in the Royal Navy many years ago- trust me it works). @nd tip - try toasting some bread and topping the toast with the Mackerel then grilling it for a few minutes. If you ever get the chance, try it smoked with black Pepper (The best). Just break it inoto chunks and enjoy cold with a salad!!!

    If you lift up the looped part of the opener first towards the rim,
    carefully break a little opening,
    and then pull the lid back & up
    it will be a lot easier to get to the fish.
    Mayonnaise on top of the seasoned tomato sauce is a no-no
    - but try to break the fish into small pieces with a fork first and mix the fish with the sauce ....

    I was wondering when you two were gonna get a Patreon. Look for my name on the registry list soon.
    Good news is I found a boat! Maybe. I'll let you know in the next few weeks or month.
    Being seasick probably sucks more than I think but I will see it as feeding the fish. Hopefully you find the silver lining like I do. Can't wait to see how that feels personally. 🤷‍♀
    And hey! Everything tastes great with boiled eggs!

      Good luck! 🍀 We looked at a bunch of Catalinas online, some of them are in such fabulous condition still. Davits are a huge plus, and getting a dinghy and motor really isn't the end of the world. Plus you can kind of get something right sized for what you are trying to do. Definitely would recommend a survey if it's any real amount of money, worth its weight in gold.
