There are four things that weigh on every cruising sailor's mind. #1 Power #2 Fuel #3 Fresh Water #4 Human Waste There can be in upwards of 300+ boats anchored around George Town, Bahamas off of the Great Exuma Island. We've now spent almost three weeks here and it's surprising to me how many boats do not move. It's long been rumored that many of these boats are pumping their black water overboard but, we had hoped it wasn't the case. However, checking in on the Facebook group of George Town Bahamas, it was indeed confirmed to be the case. Fortunately, not everybody subscribes to pumping out in a harbor like this (it is illegal) but, unfortunately, there's too many people that do. There were three justifications made for such behavior: First: The harbor has a south and north entrance and is therefore subject to a constant flow of water and essentially flushing the harbor after every tide cycle Second: The Bahamians don't adhere to their own laws (Ed: so why should we??) Third: (Yes...this was actually a justification given). A Manatee poops more in one day than a human in a year. Suffice it to say, you don't have to look too far and speak with too many cruisers that have been coming to Bahamas over the last decade to see that the reefs are under stress. I'll be the first to admit that I'm no expert on this subject nor am I one to suggest that I couldn't do more. However, it seems to me that even if dumping black water in the harbor has a near negligible impact on marine life, we should still do what we can. Besides, going out on a day sail once per week doesn't seem like all that much of an inconvenience!

Here are 3 reasons why we bought a steel boat; 1. They are strong! We want to travel anywhere including choppy seas and transatlantic crossings without worrying about the fragility of our boat. Steel sailboats have a more rigid structure and are robust so they can better withstand grazes, rubs, and bumps when in the open water. 2. They are stable! Though not as light and fast as fiberglass boats, the weight of steel boats make them more steady in choppy waters and that means reduce chances of seasickness. 3. We are going electric! Since we were buying a used boat, we needed to select a structure that could be alter in order install our electric motor and a steel structure is highly adaptable. Let us know what kind of boat you prefer! There is so much more to come so remember to subscribe to Lahakai! ➡️ WEEKLY VIDEOS EVERY SUNDAY AT 11AM WHO ARE WE? We are Luke, Lori and Leon :) We love the idea of freedom of the open sea, endless horizons, and your home whenever you wish to be. We also want to feel we are impacting the world in a positive way. So we are building the Lahakai – a 34' steel, environmentally friendly, sailboat that we will sail around the world! Or at least that is the goal and you can see our progress along the way. The dream is to do our small part and perhaps inspire others to do the same. A chance to participate in change instead of just talking about it.
