Lost in Warderick Wells - Exumas, Bahamas (Take the Waters) S3:E3
OUR FIRST VIDEO IN OVER A YEAR!! Where have we been?!
We wish we could say we were lost in Warderick Wells all this time, but the reality is a little different. Join us in this long awaited update, where we weather out one of the seasons strongest fronts, get lost on a remote island, discover The Bahama's only native mammal, and hide a treasure stick. Yes that's right, we hide a stick.

Beauty vs Purpose - Sailing Highbourne Cay (Take the Waters) S3:E2
zhlédnutí 24KPřed 3 lety
The ocean water in The Bahamas is gorgeous, the remote islands are tropical, and we've been enjoying every minute of being here in paradise. Though even when surrounded by all this beauty and perfection, we still find ourselves pondering of what our purpose in life can become.

Bahamas Bound - Anchorage Lessons Not Taught in Sailing School (Take the Waters) S2:E2

We learn a sailing lesson the hard way when we experience an anchor nightmare! The conditions of our anchorage quickly changed from ideal to the worst days on anchor. Just at the beginning of our sailing journey to The Bahama's, opposing wind and current causes our anchor bridle to become permanently snagged in our external bow thruster. They don't teach you this in sailing school! We savor all...

    If I might suggest, when you next do an overhaul on your radio coax, use messi and paoloni compression type pl-259 connectors. Apart from only having to solder the centre conductor, they are by far a better quality fitting.

    Happy to see you guys back - as planning-to-be-first-time-sailors too, it was inspiring to watch you guys go through the process. I'm a techie so I enjoyed seeing how you've been up-fitting your boat to suit your life and travels. I'm sure it gets hard trying to do life and make a quality video for the masses; however, I know personally I enjoy seeing the humanism and experiences behind the videos, so if it's not the "perfect" production, it won't bother me - hell I won't even notice. More power to you both!

    Hi Bryan and Mandi Russell ! ;) Greeting's from The Emerald Isle. Just happened to Sail across your Take The Waters...Watched.....Thought how Lucky you are to Find Each other. Such pleasant couple...Enjoy Sailing... Remember To Follow ALL The Necessary Rules + SafeGuards... Because they are there to Protect + Save Lives. Keep Watch...which will initially be the tough job with just two of you. But, you may decide to Take on Crew either Paying, Experience, Or, Patrons. Just Be Careful. Buy inflatable Life Vests After Watching your Mayo Clinic Ep i was struct by seeing those Two Medical Braces... Please excuse my asking But i have never seen Those Particular Medical Braces before in my Journey in Life. May i ask why those Medical Braces were placed in you Mandi ? When i Subsequently Watched as you Pulled Lines and so forth, i was saying to myself "Stop Be Careful, Mandi !" But, like a Typical Irish Lass you were Happy, Getting on with it, And, creating your Joint Dream Boat. Which, i hope you will enjoy. Best Advice Read Up on Your Future Ports of Call; Listen to First Hand experience of People who have Sailed where you are going. Avoid The Orca Whales in The Bay Of Biscay French West Coast extending down as far of Morocco, they have Sunk three Yachts, Damaged The Rudder's on Several other Yacht's, And, Orca have been Attacking Yachts EnDangering Sailors on The West Coast Of Europe down as far as Africa. Of course Orca Whales Or Killer Whales can be found in several Areas Around Our SHARED HOME EARTH. However, just the Western European Orca Whales have learnt a New Dangerous Behaviour EnDangering Yachts. If you take your Yacht out on the Hard you may think to Strengthen your Rudder with Stainless Steel with Stainless Steel Spikes on the Outer Edge , which is the Area the Western European Orca have been Attacking. That was the Practical suggestion. But, first you will probably Sail The Caribbean islands. Do you have Anchor Alarms? You may require Two to Help you Sleep Peacefully And secured to a Mooring Or Anchor. From your First Episode, i see you have a Love between you, which will make your Channel different. Oh The Irish Fun! Looking forward to reading + seeing more from you both... Remember be yourselves. Regards Liam Hennessy

    Love your channel. So sorry for all the run-around you've had to go through. Have you ever thought about just doing live feed and just editing out the parts you don't like. The Nomadic Movement is a successful YT channel and they found out that what really matters in terms of views and likes is story not all their time consuming skilled editing. Also the Canadian that has successful Vanlife YT channel.. he just records everything live and then posts it the same day or the next day.

    Watching your video is such a relief. We have done this hike twice. Both times we had a similar experience. Lost lost lost. Never found the bridge. Never got to Boo Boo Hill. We figured we were just inept and finally gave up. Frustrated we just kept the experience to ourselves. We now feel vindicated. Thank you for sharing. Hope to see you on the water. Look for MV Joy. We will be in the Exumas in April and May 2023.
