On this episode of Sailing on a Whim, we visit Marsh Harbour in the Abacos and witness the aftermath of Hurricane Dorian first-hand. Marsh Harbour was the hardest hit area during the hurricane and the damage that remained six months after the hurricane was unbelievably heartbreaking. Update November 2021: The Abacos are open and welcoming of visitors. The islands have made incredibly recoveries after the hurricane despite numerous setbacks, including the COVID pandemic, and it is amazing place to visit. Although the devastation of the hurricane is still evident, many marinas, grocery stores, and restaurants are open. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This crazy adventure started in early 2018 as we started researching learning how to sail, buy a boat, outfit her, and take off for a life on the open seas. There has been a huge learning curve trying to make all of this happen and we want to share with you everything that we have learned and have some fun along the way. The pandemic has thrown everyone a curveball and we are no exception. Now that life has settled down a bit for us, we are excited to be able to start sharing our adventures from this past year. We hope that you learn a little from our experiences and maybe inspire you to make changes to live the life you want! ***FILMED FEBRUARY 2020 *** ??????????????????

On this episode of Sailing on a Whim, we're spending time at one of our favorite islands in the Bahamas, Manjack Cay in the Abacos. Cruising life is not just about sailing and in this episode of Sailing on a Whim we spend our time on the island working on art projects and resurrecting a Val Trimaran from the 1970s.

On this Episode of Sailing on a Whim, we head south through the Abacos and check out the other side of island life by exploring beaches, spending time with friends on the hook, and reuniting with civilization. We learn that it may be better in the Bahamas but, as they say, it's gooder in Guana, especially on a Sunday... This crazy adventure started in early 2018 as we started researching learning how to sail, buying a boat, outfitting her, and how to take off for a life on the open seas. There has been a huge learning curve trying to make all of this happen and we want to share everything we have learned and have some fun along the way. We are excited (and a little nervous!) to share this journey with you. We hope that you learn a little from our experiences and maybe inspire you to make your own changes to live the life you want. ***FILMED IN JUNE 2019, SEE BELOW FOR MORE INFORMATION*** --------------------------------------------- SUBSCRIBE & FOLLOW Website - https://www.sailingonawhim.com YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/sailingonawhim Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/sailingonawhim Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/sailing_on_a_whim Twitter - https:www.twitter.com/sailingonawhim --------------------------------------------- CONSIDER BECOMING A PATRON: https://www.patreon.com/sailingonawhim --------------------------------------------- GEAR: Cannon EOS Rebel SL2 https://amzn.to/2y2Hty1 Cannon Powershot G7x Mark II https://amzn.to/2S6rOVu DJI Mavic Air https://amzn.to/2W2OYgz GoPro Hero5 https://amzn.to/2S8FizU Fantasea Line FG7X II https://amzn.to/2xSuY8q Rode DDG-GO Deadcat https://amzn.to/2Y4AT4G DJI Mavic Pro Plantinum https://amzn.to/3eU5tUT --------------------------------------------- RECOMMENDED READING: Learn to Sail - https://sailingonawhim.com/learn-to-sail Cruising Life - https://sailingonawhim.com/cruising-life Maintenance and Repair - https://www.sailingonawhim.com/maintenance-%26-repair Inspiration and Adventure - https://sailingonawhim.com/inspiration-%26-adventure --------------------------------------------- MUSIC FROM EPIDEMIC SOUND --------------------------------------------- The Abacos area of the Bahamas was devastated by Hurricane Dorian in September 2019.

On this episode of Sailing on a Whim, we experience the most epic party in the Bahamas, Cheeseburger in Paradise. Thousands of people come together in the Abacos to raise money for the Green Turtle Foundation and party the day away on Fiddle Cay. It was the perfect finale for our time in the Abacos! This crazy adventure started in early 2018 as we started researching learning how to sail, buy a boat, outfit her, and take off for a life on the open seas. There has been a huge learning curve trying to make all of this happen and we want to share with you everything that we have learned and have some fun along the way. We are excited (and a little nervous!) to share this journey with you. We hope that you learn a little from our experiences and maybe inspire you to make changes to live the life you want! ***FILMED JULY 2019, SEE BELOW FOR MORE INFORMATION*** ??????????????????

On this episode of Sailing on a Whim, we learn the hard way that we have no idea what we are doing when it comes to anchoring and have our first scary moment! We have a nightmare of dragging anchor in a rocky anchorage and delay our trip to the Bahamas, for now?

On this episode of Sailing on a Whim, we start living the Bahamas life by taking advantage of everything the islands have to offer by diving, catching conch, and?pizza? Along the way we make some lifelong friends and acquire a vast amount of knowledge about living off the ocean by learning how to catch, clean, and prepare our own food. So far, this Bahamas Life is AH-MAZING! This crazy adventure started in early 2018 as we started researching learning how to sail, buy a boat, outfit her, and take off for a life on the open seas.

On this episode of Sailing on a Whim, the beautiful sunshine of the Bahamas quickly changes to scary storms as we finally make it to Abaco! Of course, there are adventures and misadventures along the way including exploring the abandoned Gin Sur Mer development, losing (and recovering!) our dinghy, and dealing with an INSANE amount of bug bites. Our Bahamas adventure has definitely begun! This crazy adventure started in early 2018 as we started researching learning how to sail, buy a boat, outfit her, and take off for a life on the open seas.

On this episode of Sailing on a Whim, we continue our EPIC road trip starting with the magnificent Yellowstone National Park and onto Grand Teton National Park, Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area, and the Maroon Bells. Along the way we join up with sailing friends in Colorado and together we nervously watch Hurricane Dorian coverage as it is predicted to be a direct hit on Whim in Florida. What we didn?t yet know, is that Hurricane Dorian would be absolutely devastating, just not in the way we imagined with the early predictions.
