Exploring the Beaches of the Abacos | Sailing on a Whim Ep. 25

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.
