UNDERWAY on our TRAWLER! Northbound for some exciting changes!! #253
Welcome to another episode aboard Mermaid Monster! This week we pull up the anchor in Georgetown, Exumas and start making our way back north because it is time to have another baby! Watch as we set out on a beautiful all day cruise up to Dotham cut where we duck into the west side of the chain and anchor at Black Point. This might have been the most roll we have ever experienced at anchor. We literally needed two hands grabbing onto the boat to walk around, but it was just a waiting game because the weather was supposed to turn around and be nice the next day. Wait and see what happened. We are grateful to have you here. We hope you enjoy the show. Life is a lot more busy and fun these days with another addition to the crew. Please tune in Sundays at 9am ET for brand new weekly episodes.
Cheers

    Hey guys how is the New Yacht search going I do love the video you're watching right now. It's excellent the video that is I was wondering have you contacted bearing there's 74 model could have up to 5 bedrooms on board or you can have 4 bedrooms and a cruel afore on board it is a lot like the one you're writing right now but it's made out of 14 mm steel the trick with using a steel hold trawler yacht compared to a GRP is all about inertia The Waves are not making you sick it's the acceleration and deacceleration of moving up-and-down a steel hall yacht retards that motion also there yachts are just built at automatically different level if you could start the engines and run them at almost full RPM and you cannot hear them through the yacht And their engine rooms are so logically laid out it would be great for owner-operator if you didn't want to crew please contact bearing I do not work for them I'm not getting paid by them I just think they would make a yacht that would fit your needs and would be very comfortable have a great day please shop around before you buy a new yacht

    The science on lightening strikes is fuzzy. There are lots of claims, but there always seems to be exceptions that put claims into doubt. A Faraday cage and complete disconnect from ships ground and electrical system works but is not a practical solution. A steel boat might do it.
