face down there you go this little Sandbar is right next to the Anchorage visible at
low tide and it's such a cool spot to hang out and explore [Music]
we spent a few days and nights at shroud key which is full of tropical mangroves and today
we'll take you through one are you ready [Music]
[Music]
we have plans to meet up with fellow cruisers for the trip but first let's head back to
Calypso to grab our gear our next
are you ready I think we might see some turtles yeah that'll be cool we are bringing a radio
we're bringing a depth sounder because we're going back in the main grooves we'll see how
shallow it is dignity and we're going to bring our masks and I'll probably leave our fins
here but um at least bring the mask yeah oh that's like gin and juice but it's beer and
juice anger whenever we leave the boat we make sure to check the anchor for a proper
set
Doug and tight exactly what we like to see
[Music]
how deep it is and hoping to get to the other side where it's the ocean front there's supposed
to be Turtle a lot of sea life and lots of things to see back here apparently there's
a turtle right up ahead these natural waterways are affected by Tides so you have to try to
time it right have enough water to get through but not lose your water to get back out
the depth ranges from dry sand to eight feet or so in spots we're at low tide rising now
let's see if we can make it through [Music]
so you want to just have a drink and wait for it yeah we could we were all starting
to hit the ground this is gonna be fun what do you think
I'm happy we brought beer
[Music]
to get through here we just weaved our way through enjoying our toe from Friends Here
Comes our first stuck Cruiser [Music]
they're cool [Music] it's easier if you get out you know it raises your dinghy up a little
bit this is quite the experience
Teamwork Makes the Dream Work literally the dream is to get down here for some reason
it's all the same and have a drink we got to the point where only Reese could ride while
Jeremiah and I pulled Taco along
there were a few spots where we had little water when we did we were treated to amazing
sea life like this shark thank you
we've reached the end of the water for now we tied the dinghies off and hiked the remainder
of the trip about a quarter mile or so [Music]
right away I know it's like walking on the moon the east side of the island is wild and
beautiful clear and untouched views of the Bahamas Waters we're gonna enjoy this our
own private beach [Music]
with that on your thing [Music]
the fishing line right that kills the most sea of creatures there's a hill over here
once you get through the mangroves and you can get up to the beach has all of the Plastics
from different Cruisers coming over here and kind of kind of cooked me I'll put it in one
spot on the hill so we're collecting our share
run it back to the tub oh it's full of sand
you got our board Reese found this we're gonna use it to paint Calypso on there and put it
at the uh other place that we do that the next key down is wardrick Wells and you kind
of hike up these little Trails up the hill and cruisers are famous for painting their
boat name out aboard and then I'll leave in it there so Reese found our board today while
we were doing a little beach cleanup so the ocean goes through this point it fills up
this whole Bay so what we're gonna do is we're gonna get our dinghies because it was kind
of rough coming in a little bit shallow we're just gonna wait we have a beer wait for the
huge wave of water to just shh yeah just go through the mangroves seriously it was neat
to see that people are collecting the trash but a bummer to see it was there in the first
place the tide was coming up so after a nice relaxing hike back to the dinghy we were headed
back through the mangrove [Music] doing all right I think the water's probably coming
about a foot which is perfect because yeah if we made it out here and it's up a foot
we're good
what a lovely afternoon and it finished off great with an escort from a new friend
[Music] thank you [Music] it was time to say farewell to our cruising friends as we all
head towards our boats we'll see you next time [Music]
foreign
the night was calm and Scenic we just enjoyed each other's company and reflected on the
day [Music] what are we doing so we found a sport from from sea washing it up now we're
gonna paint Lady Gaga silly and Mommy's gonna try a paint of lazy geckos well clip shell
a one shook looks on one side and then weighs the geckos on the other side mommy thinks
I was on the beach to see washed it up I guess huh you know what this could be what a pirate's
board they could I prefer like a chip yeah or like her turns I think it's a perfect board
so you found it while we were out collecting plastic upright and he thought it'd be a perfect
board for our naming thing right yeah we should do Calypso red yeah I think well you guys
do whatever but I think that uh I'm excited to see what's gonna happen I think I'll ride
out at first and then have him Trace perfect looking good dude oh you know we could do
some sparkles here Reese and I love Craft Time this was pretty sweet finding a board
and then making our own with a little paint it will be fun to place on a Mountaintop in
a few days repping Calypso's name we decided to do Mom and Dad's side during nap time for
some adult fun [Music] a what the hell can a k is that
um whatever a little YouTube Style coming in was supposed to start at four o'clock yesterday
for us to get through the south side of the mangroves yeah it's pretty bad but it didn't
start picking up till like 5 5 30. yeah um and as as it goes it gets later and later
as the days go on and it's like a cycle so it'll be later today when that happens the
sun sets at like 7 45 we also want to do a beach bonfire so I don't think we'll get to
go through all the north side of the mangroves to the other side of the ocean maybe we will
I don't know but if not that's okay because we did it yesterday we'll get as far as we
can sit down have a drink relax it's really cool because you see like black tip um sharks
yeah and then we saw some turtles so it's really really cool I'm happy with just getting
a quarter weigh in beaching the dinghy and having a drink and kind of just like enjoying
it's an awesome setting and we need to find twigs for our Beach fire so do that and then
we'll go have a beach fire and then we are gonna weigh anchor early tomorrow and when
I say early I mean like eight or nine and then take a 15 mile nautical mile trip which
should probably be two and a half three hours for us down to more no do you remember the
name no oh a little pirate thing is though we'll figure it out and that's also where
we'll drop this board off very cool it'll find its home there [Music] nobody is anywhere
near here that's awesome put up this little random sand guard which was gone and I don't
know I said 30 minutes and uh could be under like five feet of water I thought we'd stop
here let Reese play in the sand and have a beer
dragon is looking forward
[Music]
Welcome to The Sandbar
thank you dear welcome cheers the tide was coming back up soon our little Sandbar was
gone and we were in search of a beach to have a campfire on [Music]
what are we doing
somehow right I just got like let me get some what I know mosquito stuff on yeah or no see
um stuff
so we came to this little beach to build a fire to make some s'mores um but there's some
things here there's a little flag with skull and crossbones
and then as we're beaching the dinghy we noticed a sign on the beach somebody made it with
their feet it's huge and it says go away as far as we know we're allowed to do a beach
bonfire here lots of Cruisers just did it the other night
I don't think it's aimed towards Beach fires per se I think it's more of like just get
away from our Island no I don't think anybody lives here I think they're very remote so
it must be somebody coming over on a beat uh boat that did it has a smiley face though
so it's like a happy go away go away not sure who wrote it but we'll take that smile as
a friendly go away maybe to the mosquitoes the first thing we'll do is grass and then
bigger and then bigger okay foreign [Music]
