We learned from the George Town Facebook group that fishermen were going to be at the government dock. I showed up a little late and so I think all that was left was fresh fish. No lobster and no conch. The fisherman had several very large Mutton Snapper. I had never heard of Mutton before and so I was a bit apprehensive about buying. But, I took a chance. A smaller, one-meal fish, was $20. This larger fish was $75. I suspect I could have negotiated but I never really feel good about doing so given the fact that he's hardly making a killing. I think we got about 8 lbs of fillets off of this fish and so $75 it's really pretty cheap, compared to what we purchase fresh (not really fresh) fish back in the States. We had fresh dill from the Salt Pond farmers market. So, I decided to use dill, lime, olive oil, salt, pepper and a shallot to season. Dropped it in the air fryer and it was awesome! #sailingcatamaran #boatlife #catamaran #travelvlog #digitalnomad #lifestyle #sailboats #sailing #cruising #offgrid #nomad #sail #boat #multihull #whileone #sailingwhileone #bigseas #lifeafter50 #sailinglife
Ira just wrapped up photographing the F18 Americas Championship, and I drove for her one of the days. Those things haul ass!!! We were in a 18 ft. rib with a 90HP, and to get ahead of these things or do a ride-along with them involved some moderate butt-pucker... down wind OR up wind. The other challenging thing as a photo-boat driver is figuring out their bail-out angles. I want to get close, but if then need to come down hard in a puff the change in direction is a good amount larger than what a mono would do (understandable as the range of apparent wind angles are broader because the range of boat speeds are also larger). It was a ton of fun playing out on the SF bay with these rocket ships!
The sail from George Town to Black Point was awesome. The last hour, a squall came through shifting the wind around to the nose. We had purposely gone this far, missing Staniel Cay, so that we'd hit cut on a flood and not have to burn a bunch of fuel with an ebb tide. I would suspect this cut would be pretty challenging hitting it on an ebb with opposing wind. It was pretty calm outside the cut, but the waves really turned up inside the cut (on the Bahamas Bank Side)
We know that learning to sail can be overwhelming and there is a lot to take in. In an effort to help, we’ve created a series of “Bite Sized Lessons” taken straight out of our textbooks – Sailing Made Easy and Coastal Cruising Made Easy. In this lesson we learn how tell tales behave in different conditions, and how to use them to keep your sails trimmed efficiently.
