Last week we sailed to the island of Inagua and made landfall in the beautiful bananas
I mean Bahamas. After checking in we sailed to little ragged island. Once we arrived we headed
off by dinghy to check this island out and found ourselves a shark friend along the way.
Welcome to the Bahamas people. Check how excited everyone is here.
Yeah the A team. After exploring we met up with our friends whom also had a Dean 365,
Regine and James. We sailed St Vincent and the Grenadines with them which you can check
out on our previous episodes. Anyone want to be my fan? Leanne do you want to be my fan?
James, Ricky and Grant were keen on going diving for some lobster to feed us ladies and managed to
catch three for dinner. Lobby. There are quite a good amount of bull sharks and reef sharks present
in the ragged islands so you always got to be aware of your surroundings when spearfishing.
So Ricky caught some lobby today. Whoop whoop and we're gonna have lobster pizza.
Nice little lobster tail. Got three of them. Give everyone two upgrades. Will you check this
Leanne decorating the pizza here. Lobby pizza. Don't be good. Look how pretty the water is.
There's all the other boats as you can see there. After a beautiful dinner and night at
Little Ragged Island we headed to Ragged Island and hopped on the dinghy to check out this beautiful
island. So we've officially become members of the Hot Key Yacht Club. There you go and check it out
What? 10 out of 10 isn't it? Beautiful. Hey check out this one. Beautiful. Bahamas baby. Best.

Yacht Club. Hot Key Yacht Club. That is Hot Key right? Yeah. So you've got the communal
gathering area where everyone does the big plannings and the meetings and then
What? No ways. Where is he? Hey Lulu. It's not you. It's not you. So we've got the area for all the
important meetings over there so everyone comes and gathers discuss future plans
for fun times. We've got the sundowner bench. We've got the coconut supply. We've got the
soccer field. We've got some gym exercise equipment. We've got the South African barbecue.
South African braai. Ready for a party. Amazing. That is American barbecue.
Here's a South African barbecue. South African braai. Got the volleyball for the fitness freaks.
Got the pensioners enjoying retirement. Hey retirement looks tough for them.
We got the Bafana Bafana soccer team. Let's see how they kick. Yep that looks like Bafana Bafana.
That wasn't Bafana Bafana. I think that was Brazil. Sheesh what a shot. Ricky once again
was amped to go diving to catch us some dinner so off Ricky and Grant went. They're such good
providers. I'll get another pair sometime. These are my go-to gloves for my lobster catching. They've
got leather on the inside and this is just normal. Yep but you can see wherever there's the
what did you call it? Material. It didn't last but they've been super productive.
So if you guys got these pole spears, they're quite sharp and you don't want to carry them in
the dinghy. Grant showed us a good thing. It's a pool noodle. Chop a piece of the pool noodle,
pull them close, pop it in there and you got your marshmallow. Safe to take on the boat.
Take a marshmallow.
Pole spear. I got this three piece pole spear. It's actually a two piece now
because I took the other section out but this is my go-to for lobsters
with the five spine. The three spines are good but it feels like the five spine
guaranteed and Bahamas pole spear 100% allowed. How many lobsters do you want hun? Three. Three
lobsters. Or four. Four lobsters. But if they're big then only three because we could only eat
three last time. Toodaloo kangaroos. Off they go. These waters are absolutely loaded with fish.
Literally everywhere we looked we saw fish, hogfish, groupers, everything. But with the
concern of Segaterra, we never took a shot at any. But leave us a comment down below letting
us know what you think about the Segaterra situation. If you've experienced anything or
if you know that it's safe. But yeah there's a lot of fish. After Ricky's diving excursion,
we went back to the yacht club to have sundowners with the rest of the anchorage and met some great
people. So we got a group together today to come get some lobsters
and we're out on a little point here outside on the bay on the
just border of the Atlantic side. So hopefully we can get some bugs for some of the guys.
This dive proved to be super challenging. After four hours in the water,
Ricky managed to get two lobsters. This place had definitely been over dived.
The next day we headed off to the next anchorage, Buena Vista Cay. Oh beautiful Bahamas,
you've certainly met our expectations. So where are we now? We're in Buena Vista.
I think that beach or that beach. What does Buena Vista mean? A good view.
We dingied off to land to check it out and found a massive salt pan and a lot of brush. If you
enjoy walking, the Bahamas definitely has a lot of walking involved if you want to see the islands.
Growing boondoo bashing, literally.
We headed back to the boat to relax and enjoy the peaceful solitude and share that space with the
sharks. Experienced a beautiful sunset and amazing lobster pasta. How can you not go to bed so happy
and grateful? Follow along as we head off to our next anchorage spot and experience the rest of
our time here in the Bahamas before it's back to land for Ricky and I. Don't forget to subscribe
