Last time on sailing Balachandra we
crossed the Gulf Stream, we arrived in
the Berry Islands, Bahamas and I had some
luck fishing off the back of the boat
hey guys so we're still in the Berry
Islands. We left Great Harbour Cay
Yesterday and arrived between Devils Cay
and Hoffman's Cay here and it's just
gorgeous! The water color is amazing!
it's just paradise... so today we're gonna
go over to check out this blue hole I
guess it's pretty awesome is like a cave
that you can jump into and swim so that
sounds pretty sweet
we didn't eat the fish that we caught
last night. it wasn't on the eat list so
we were worried about some cicoterra
so we didn't eat the fish we caught I
feel bad we should have threw it back in
the ocean when we caught it
so right now right we're gonna jump into the blue hole
I don't think Dan's gonna jump!
Zeus has his life jacket on hopefully doesn't
jump in after me! It's a gorgeous day a bit windy
but it's welcome to keeping the bugs away.
you ready? ... yeah...
I don't know why I'm so nervous.. Okay
here we go. I did it! It was nice and warm yeah!
Zeus is freaking out oh my goodness yes
mommy's alive! It wasn't that bad.
We left Nassau Harbor this morning
fairly early and we're heading to the Exumas
Today. Yeah we didn't feel like
recording too much in Nassau just
because it's another town it doesn't
have the allure of most of the Bahamas
that we'll be showing you guys we just
stopped for fuel, water and a bit of food
and off we go right. We're doing the
yellow bank. We've got to go through some of
these coral heads and that's gonna be
kind of interesting stuff later on today
Yeah it's a really nice day we have
decent wind and and yeah we're out here
sailing in the Bahamas it's freaking
gorgeous!
so we're an Allan Cay and we were
checking out Iguana beach this
morning there's some big iguanas and
little iguanas and I guess these
particular iguanas are native to only
these beaches here which is kind of cool
Zeus just kept on trying to go for them
and we've heard that they might bite so we
had to constrain Zeus he wasn't a lot of
fun. Yeah he was barking and trying to
chase them and he's got this like
high-pitched bark like oh my god.. We have to figure out
how to calm that one down! So our time on the beach was a little bit short.
oh yeah
and we discovered that the bottom of our
boat is pretty super dirty because we've
acquired some hitchhikers swimming
underneath our boat eating the bottom
they're like 3-4 foot long fish that look
kind of like sharks
we're in Hibourne Cay, we're just gonna
walk around the marina
I guess it's $25 a person to walk the
island. it's a private island but we're
just enjoying our walk around here it's
quite gorgeous. Dan took a lot of footage
he'll show you right here! $5 to dispose
of garbage which isn't too bad they have
a small little grocery convenience store
for you to check out it's a pretty
expensive but hey $4 for a carton of
eggs isn't too bad milk it's looking
around like $5 loaf of bread is $7
we've been stuck here at highborne Cay
for about four days now going on five
days I think.. but I've kind of
lost track I'm not even sure but we have
this consistent wind blowing out of the
East it's been like 20 to 30 knots
gusting up to at least 37 at night and
it's us and several other yachts are
just not going anywhere.We
occasionally see a sail or two up in the
distance. People are moving. Yeah there's
some charter boats and they're just
frustrated and they're moving around but
you know it's not it's not good sailing
and even when you go in your dinghy
you're just getting soaking wet from all
the chop like it's just.. it's just bad.
we're just kind of waiting for all this
to pass then we can move on
