We are a Canadian cruising couple, looking for a non mainstream life of living aboard and cruising in the Caribbean in Winter, and the Great Lakes in Summer. Working when we can to fill the cruising kitty. We have sold everything we own, and we now own a cruising boat. In this episode we are on our way down to the Bahamas for the Winter of 2016/2017. We have chosen to do this voyaging under power, instead of the popular sailing route.
Our mission is to help inspire people to live their dreams earlier in life, instead of waiting until retirement. So often retirement dreams are dashed by health issues, or other unforeseen later life circumstances. If you have a dream, then dream, plan, and do it now. We hope to make you smile, and spark the urning in your heart for fulfilling your dreams.

I have been watching all of your videos. Amazing. I am being forced to medically retired because of health reasons and my wife of 30 years asked for a divorce. I lost my marriage, my career, and my health all in a span of 7 months. I was pretty down to say the least. Some how, I came upon your channel....maybe it was fate. I didn't know what I was going to do for the first time in my life. All of my original plans included my wife and a very physically active lifestyle for retirement. Now I am forced to rethink everything. I am a retired Army officer and a former Navy diver so adapting to my new life has been very difficult. I am not able to just put my head down and push through stuff any longer. I am going to embrace the freedom and time I still have left. I have started selling off all of my assets. My son will be in college next year so I will sell my house then and start looking for a boat. For the first time in a while, I am excited about something. Your videos made it possible for me to see a future. Thank you.

Just went over there last month to help replace roofs from hurricane. It looks much different now.

@SearchingforCShels 4 года назад

So nice of you to be doing that. We can't imagine what it must be like now. We may go to the Abacos again in the Spring.

No bananas on a boat!

@snocrazee 7 лет назад

Bout time Sheldon and Cindi! Good to see another video. We are on our way to St. Thomas in 40 days and married on the beach in 47 days. Counting down to the day we get a Tolly and cruise away. Still another three years till my youngest son graduates high school and goes off to college. We are ready. Still love the Tolly. Hope you got things sorted out with the 3208. Y'all still liking the boat?

@SearchingforCShels 7 лет назад

Hi Bret & Talyn! We know, we know, we suck at the frequency thing. Other important things take our time sometimes. Each video we determine to get it out quickly, but alas, we fail hard. :) You guys must be so excited! We really wish you the best on this special trip. Post a vid or 2 on your trip. Yes, we love the boat. We can't imagine anything in our price range that would have been better. Love those 3208s. Cheers my friend, see you on the water!

@snocrazee 7 лет назад

WE will definitely do some videos and post something...

@johnlennie7470 6 лет назад

Lot's of fun. What was your average speed when you crossed the Gulf Stream?

@SearchingforCShels 6 лет назад

John Lennie it was about 8 knots.

@studentjohn35 10 месяцев назад

To be in New Plymouth and not even mention Miss Emily's Blue Bee Bar is a travesty!

@richardvachon6305 7 лет назад

Welcome back with your videos, I was wondering how did you find the new snorkel mask? How thank how buying them but I read comments that you can not dive deep with them. Your input would appreciated. Merci

@SearchingforCShels 7 лет назад

Hi Richard, nice to hear from you. If we are honest about these new full face masks, we have to say that diving and fogging are problems. If you go below 5 feet, the pressure pushes the seal around your face and lets water in. This may not happen with other face types. Fogging for all of us was a problem and even with anti-fog solution we found we were applying it constantly. If you are a surface snorkeler then these will be fine, if you want to dive at all, we recommend getting a traditional high quality snorkel and mask.

@richardvachon6305 7 лет назад

Thank you for the answer and sorry for the french key board

@deandresmith2515 6 лет назад

I used to live over there and that cat is sassy

@SearchingforCShels 6 лет назад

LOL! She seemed pretty relaxed with us.

@ramonapicillini3186 4 года назад

I spent a lot of time on Green Turtle and wouldn't dream of taking any trip or recommending you to show me around a shoe box.

@expresscruiserlife 7 лет назад

Finally an update!!! :-) Looking forward to watching this!

@SearchingforCShels 7 лет назад

Thanks! We hope you enjoy!

@TheRuffusMD 4 года назад

wonderful video of a great place.... it would be much better however with the natural sounds and zero cheap music

@SearchingforCShels 4 года назад

Thanks! Yes we love Green Turtle Cay. We are heartbroken over it since Dorian. We understand about the music, but some people like it. Most times the natural sounds are just harsh wind noise, so cheap music is slightly better than that. lol Cheers, and thanks for watching!

@SOFLBOY 7 лет назад

Wow! I can't believe how expensive the groceries are in the Bahamas. Is it more cost effective to eat in restaurants?

@SearchingforCShels 7 лет назад

Negative on the restaurants. Eating out is just as expensive. In the Abacos, the cheapest you can get is going to Marsh Harbour where the groceries are slightly less expensive. The Bahamas are worth it though. If you are a cruiser coming from Florida, stocking up in Costco or similar before you cross pays off big time.

@SOFLBOY 7 лет назад

We were in Fort Lauderdale not too long ago. Now we're on Florida's West coast, but lately we've been pondering a Bahamas trip. Maybe we'll see you guys out there on the water one day soon. Love the vids!

@SearchingforCShels 7 лет назад

Globe's Mine, thanks! Meeting you on the water would be a pleasure!

@jmhbc 7 лет назад

Yes, groceries are very expensive; about three times as expensive as upstate NY. Somewhat more of a problem is the limited selection. Maxwell's, the large grocery store in Marsh Harbour, is a very good place to shop. At least one of the grocery stores on GTC buys their groceries there and then, reasonably enough, changes the price on them. The restaurants are comparable to those in NYC and do not seem unreasonable to us. Incidentally, there are four grocery stores, the three "major" ones (Lowe's, Sid's and Curry's) and the smaller one, Roberta's.
