Cruising from Bimini to Berry Islands

This video is about cruising from Bimini to the Berry Islands. Half way to Chub Cay anchoring at Mackie shaol in the middle of nowhere. After Chub Cay, moving up past Bird Cay to the Blue Hole at Hoffmans Cay.

I know I'm a few years behind but how did you decide between single vs double diesel trawler especially when traveling internationally? I love single engine, be concerned however when leaving good tow service range. thoughts?

[@pbaker777]

single diesel was cheaper. we sailed the Bahamas out of tow range for 6 months. only issue I had was prop bolts sheared and fell out so had no power. difficult to get parts in the Bahamas, even in Bimini. for example I would have to get bolts shipped in. I didn't, I had 2 bolts that had fallen out and I put back on, the 2 sheared bolts I used a slightly smaller bolt. biggest advice I could give is get a davit and a decent dinghy and outboard. we missed out so much by going cheap. we never felt comfortable with our dinghy.

How do you like your mainship?

[@pbaker777]

Really like it. We researched different trawlers, trunks etc and like the way the mainship is laid out. We have a Mainship 390. The galley is on the same level as the living room. The bedroom is a nice size too. We wanted somewhere comfortable to cruise The Bahamas for a few months before we head off to Spain. So come June we will head back to Florida and sell the boat before heading off to Europe. Very happy that we chose the Mainship - a lot cheaper than other trawlers and easier to maintain.
