Crossing from Florida to The Bahamas

Join me on this epic skiff adventure as I travel solo from Florida to the Bahamas , crossing the Gulf stream in my trusty 17' skiff with tiller outboard. Enjoy the incredible spots along the way as i travel down Grand Bahamas coastline to the magical destination of Sweetings Cay. Total distance from Florida to sweetings Cay Bahamas is 160 mile crossing.

I have been making trips like this Florida to Bahamas crossings for decades and must state that years of experience as well as complete attention to every last detail are put into play when planning and executiong. This trip may seem like its on a whim but it is not. weather forecasts, safety devices such as epirb, navigation equipment, well maintained mechanicals, ocean conditions, hydration, float plan, and common sense make these trips possible and SAFE.

my gear:
boat 1974 aquasport
engine 1990 70 hp Johnson
kicker 2020 6 hp Suzuki
Garmin 541
SPOT in reach
Navionics app for iphone
good ol compass

I love when people go out into the world and do things they can tell their grandchildren.

I couldn't imagine doing that trip sitting on a bucket for that long - and being way out there in the dark in a skiff! I'm sure I speak for others when I say we certainly could use more of this awesome content!

[DeanDoIt]

Such a brave thing to do. Resilience and determination is unmatched!

I love what you’re doing, I’m from the Bahamas and I always wanted to go home on my boat from Florida.

So glad to have found your Chanel. The content is "FABU". I can't get enough and on the other hand miss it dearly, meaning I use to be able to do it also. Last five years rebuilt four boats, use to ocean race sailboats. Have cruised the Virgin's and Bahama's. God I miss the water, nothing like it in the world. Getting old and COPD slowing me down now but not going to quit. Watching your revamps / rebuilds is like a breath of fresh air for me Thanks means more than you will ever know to me. Nako is awesome had a friend in the Virgin Islands "Paul" learned a lot from him. Keep up the fabulous work and Filming - Waiting to here best place to get your fresh water outboards from Love it. Gods Speed, wind at your back and a good compass on your journey my friend. Rocky

Hey, great crossing. I once crossed on a 20' with a 200 hp. and it was a blast! North side of Grand Bahama is beautiful.

[kingfish]

Wow man I'm blown away crossing all the way to the Bahamas from Florida on a small skiff, that was cool, great content feeling pretty good about the 70 horse Johnson I just picked up after seeing yours kick booty..

I used to go to sweetings cay numerous times in the early 70's. My friends family had a house there. A truly magical place.

[ipush]

I love this video. I'm from grand Bahama. Brice is one of the best 👌

I would like to catch a ride with someone going to Grand Bahamas. My girlfriend lives there now. I hate flying. It would be cool just to arrive at her beach and surprise have lots of local friends there and they are amazing people who have looked after her while she gets settled. I can not express how thankful I am for the people we have met there.

[uloudmouth]

Thank you for this video. Unbelievably beautiful. I would never have the nerve to make that trip on a skiff that small but would love to do it.
