REAL LIFE aboard our 46ft Yacht in the BAHAMAS! This is our first time sailing a catamaran by ourselves and our first time sailing in this BEAUTIFUL country onboard a Lagoon 46 with 'Navigare Yachting'.

OUR STORY:
John and Kristina purchased a 50ft Jeanneau Sun Odyssey with just a few weeks sailing experience. They set sail from Melbourne and travelled up the East Coast of Australia to the Great Barrier Reef, and have since sailed in Greece and now the Bahamas!

my favorite place in the world - Pete's Pub~
Might just be ours too! 😍
Thanks for showing us good maps and pointing out where you are. Some sailing vlogs make it really tough to figure out where they are, where they've been, and where they're going. And thanks for another great episode!
Glad to know it made sense, hard to show it on google earth sometimes haha!
amazing 😍😍😍
Can’t wait for you to join us onboard this weekend 😘❤️🤗 xx
Loved that you called John "My Boyfriend". In an informal world of partners it reminded me of THE GOOD OLD DAYS, loved the show
Haha.. it's so funny.. when I say partner.. people often think we're business partners or something! Lol.. so boyfriend it is.. for now! :)
Such a great video , thank you for making it . Places like this I would maybe never see and it is so fun to add places to my explore list .
That’s fantastic!! Amazing to hear this 💭❤️ Absolutely - this is definitely one for the explore list. A truely magical experience 🙂 x
The vlog just keeps getting better. Awesome work 💯🙌👍👏
Thank you so much always for your support Phillip #patreonfam 🙌❤️
Another great video! Looks like you're having a wonderful time over there - enjoy!!
Thanks MrWitheridge, we had the best time already scheming to head back again next season 😝 thanks for watching
As always such a lovely video! So Lucky meeting Pete! Lovely to see you both, don't worry about being late it's always great to see anything you do and glad you're enjoying it which is the main thing! Hope it's going well in Europe!
Thanks Tom! Yes we were very lucky to meet the man himself haha. Appreciate the support thanks for watching!
Loved the video. And am living vicariously through the both of you 😁
Glad you enjoyed it Scott!
YES YES YES to the freedive/sailing trip. 🙌🤩
AMAZINGGGGG!!!! We really hope to get this off the ground with enough interest! :)
Awesome episode guys, keep them coming xx
Thanks Paul! 🤩
Very nice show!!
Thank you so much for watching! 🙂
Wow that lobster looked mega!!! So good to see you both exploring places I’ve never heard of, it looks beautiful and you’re right, it’s like Americas Whitsundays to us!
I mean we’ve not seen many in the water before but surley these were huge! The camera didn’t really do it justice. So cool to see them relaxing in their little homes. It so is but also very different, we love both but the Bahamas is something special 😉
Loved you both ❤️ Enjoyed your every travel videos❤ Have a Fantastic Day 😊
Aww thanks!
Great experience, all looks amazing. Bit jealous right now. Enjoy.
Cheers guys!
Cheers Trev - appreciate legend!
Thanks, your videos are the most professional out there. I loved your Greek videos, beautiful. Keep it up.
Thanks Charles! Means a lot : )
Nice boat, nice drone shots, nice ocean...Nice.
Thanks very much, John says thanks (about the drone videos haha)
You seem to find spots other cruiser's don't visit. Love it!
We love exploring and following our nose a bit, can have mixed results but occasionally we stumble upon some pretty amazing places 😉
Guys another great episode! What a cool place Little Harbour is. I would love to spend a summer there soaking up the sun on the beach sipping a cold drink. Have a great time. Peace
Hey Vince - seriously heaven on earth! You can see why Peters parents settled here and created something special! ✨
Thanks for the tour guide. At least you're in a location that I probably can get to on my little boat.
No problems Mark! Our friends friend rode a jet ski across from Florida so it can be done 😉
Hey, you found a blue hole I’ve never seen before, good job. 😊
Beautiful adventure and please enjoy life and worry over videos later ❤️⚓ high fives to you and John x
Thanks Robert! ☺️ 🙌🏻
Love it ❤
Thanks for watching!! The blue hole was insane hey!?
Awesome episode guys! We anchored in Little Harbour and didn’t even know about that blue hole! I’ve never free dove in one, I’d think it would be a bit intimidating. 😬
Hey guys! It’s such a magic spot hey!! There’s a few hiding across the bay, it sure was, such a buzz haha!
What an awesome place to play! Lol when Kristina is pulling the dinghy and the comparison to worlds strongest man as it cuts to a massive dude pulling a plane! The production quality of your videos continues to improve and impress!
Haha 😆💪 I’m surprised you could tell the difference between the two clips 💪😆🤣 x
I don't think I've ever commented on your channel. I'm starting to get in the habbit for the sake of the algorithm. I've been watching for a couple years now. You guys are awesome. You have a unique energy, and sense of wonder that I think is missing from a lot of the other channels. I think most people unfortunately think that a sense of wonder isn't cool. It's great to see it still exists in people. Keep up the great work. You guys are one of the inspirations for me deciding to work toward getting my own sailboat when the kids move out and live and work on it a few months a year.
Ohhh that’s so kind of you to say, thankyou!! We’ve always loved travelling and exploring so much, it just never seems to get old 😆 thanks for watching for so long and so happy to hear we’ve been able to provide some inspiration. All the best with your plans to buy a boat 😎
@@KristinasTravels thank you!
Beautiful adventure love you guys
Thanks so much Nick for the support and love ❤️ x
The episode was worth the wait.. really good video..
Whilst i love watching your sailing videos and exotic locations, there is an Av geek in me who'd really like to see a video of, A day in the life of John at work being a pilot. Just a suggestion
Haha! I’d be interested in that too and I’m not even an Av geek!!! John, if you’re reading this, get to work 🤣🙌🤗💭
What a place !! Amazing thanks for the ride you two! :_)
Thanks for coming along for the ride!
"WoW" incredible Blue Holeeeeee!!!!!! Those lobster hopefully will be left alone to enjoy their remote life.
Yes I would think Peter would have a little attitude as I don't think you are the only person to question him. Most likely a multiple daily event and most likely gets very tiring for him.
In the mid 70's I was on a 3 week family vacation in Bahamas and we did swim a couple blue holes yea fantastic. Enjoy yourselves looking forward to next video.
Oh wow!! What are the chances, I wonder if they were the same ones. Yes I hope so too, they looked very content haha.
I wonder if they are the same also? I will have to ask other family members about it as I don't remember exactly where.@@KristinasTravels
We have just arrived in Croatia , similarly we have very little to no experience but are boat shopping, not much here so off to Greece on Tuesday 😊
Ohh wow! How exciting! Hope you guys find some great boats!
We did the same route this past December / January. We failed at locating the “blue holes” - low tide timing was not the best. We’re in if you put together a charter + Freediving instruction!
Amazing!!! Maybe we will get the chance to check them out or discover some new ones together next season 😜 so great to hear you’re keen to join, thanks for letting us know, will keep you posted! 🙌🏻
Great video, I'd like to know do you prefer a catamaran over a monohull - i like the idea of not rolling around as much
Hey Tony catamaran is great of course but is also huge and expensive for two, we recently sailed a new design of monohull with accomodation that is similar to a catamaran which we are interested to hear peoples thoughts on, the first episode is due out next week! ☺️
Hi love u channel ..tips when diving sink holes watch for under current..wear a dive knife..each person should carry a dive lite....put out a dive buoy.for shallow water when moving tender u can put your oar,s under tinny, tender roll it on oar,s in shallow,s.stay safe
Great tips Steve!! Thankyou 🙌🏻👌🏻
In 79 family and me we was doing the Bahamas Islands and one Island had a sink hole on the ocean side and in the hole was a Sail boat with its sails still up and my dad said it was almost same size of ours 58' Gulfstar other than that is all I knew other than there was a large shark that was staying close to rig so Dad had to back off
Oh wow!! So cool you have those memories with your family. I wonder what the story was about the boat making it down into the sink hole? Don’t suppose you can remember where it was?
@@KristinasTravels I remember the cove had a tiki bar and on side facing west a dock or two,from the cove you can see the President island forgot which one who owned it ,the island had a narrow section inthe middle to go to the quiet west side to the ocean side , if i remember dad telling us he found out the boat tried to go around island but the waves crashed it on to the rocks or reef and it'd why you stay on the west side of islands in the Bahamas
We’d love to join you for free diving and sailing!
Yassss! Amazing!! Thanks for letting us know Scott - this is great 😊 I think it’d be such a blast! ☺️💭🙌
@@KristinasTravels it would be great - my wife and I do SCUBA diving but would love to learn free diving, and we are mainly powerboaters but would love to add to our limited sailing experience.
I hope you take the opportunity to circumnavigate nearby Eleuthera.
Unfortunately not this trip, but.. we will be back 😎⛵️
@@KristinasTravels I would love to join you if possible. They call Eleuthera the Isle of Perpetual June as well as Freedom Island as Eleutheros means freedom in Greek.
😃👍👍👍❤ Another great video and Kristina's editing is a very large part. Almost 150K subscribers!
Thank you so much Thomas ❤️🥰 Appreciate your support always mate 🙌🙌 Thanks for being here with us for the epic adventures! Can’t wait to take you to Europe soon!
That lobster was going to need 5 people to get it out of that hole. Lol Damn this was huge.
Hahaha I think so! Would be quite a ride for anyone hanging on to it 😂
A talented rapper 😂😂😂 Good one
🙌😛🤗 haha! Such a good vibe!
🙏🏻...
♥️♥️🥰🥰
We would love to join you, and after that maybe you could join us. Davis Island Tampa FL
Awesome thanks Michael!! Will let everyone know in a future episode if the trip goes ahead. 😃 thanks for the offer also 🤿 🙌🏻
Really like your videos, thank you for all that
So what’s the verdict, a catamaran or a mono hull ??
Giant Hugs
🤗
Now that you’ve had a good taste of living and sailing a Catamaran would you go back to a monohull?
Hmmm we loved the cat but weve recently learned there’s something that closes the gap, the boat were currently sailing on the med does that, you might be able to guess what it is, can’t wait to share it with you guys!
@@KristinasTravels well that’s intriguing, cant wait to see what it is. Thanks for the cliffhanger. Lol happy travels. And once again love you and Jon’s vidoes
Do not ever apologize for not keeping to a schedule. It’s seriously tough to balance a personal life with feeding the content monster and we, the soulless masses, will inhale anything you give us while immediately demanding more…lol. You must do what you feel comfortable doing.
Aww thankyou, yes it can be a lot sometimes, never worked harder 🤓 but love making these for you guys. Thanks for watching!
@@KristinasTravels I've known a lot of tv people (reporters and videographers, TD'sDirectors, and Producers) over the years. Which is harder, on camera reporting or on camera feeding the content monster?
Spear those for dinner!!
Unfortunately the season was closed, they live another day 🦞 😆 I don’t think I could though…
im early
You sure are! hehe - Thanks for watching :)
Thanks for the memories. I was in Little Harbor 50 years ago.
What is the tattoo on your lower abdomen? Is it recent?
Oh wow!! Can only imagine what it must have looked like back then!
😻 o Kristina)
Hi there! :)
