Solo and Single Engine boat trip to Abaco Bahamas Spooner Double Breasted Island Crooked PilotHouse 

Hi Captain, I'm really looking forward to watching this series of videos on your Abaco trip! We went to Marsh Harbor, Hope Town, Man-of-War, Treasure Cay and Green Turtle on a boat trip in the 1980's. I'm interested in seeing how things have changed since then, especially hoping to see that they have recovered some from the last hurricane....

No kidding! Just three minutes ago I looked to see if you had posted a clip and then this popped up. I was about to go to bed but now I’m staying up to live vicariously through you. It’s about 10.40pm in Melbourne, Australia but I’ll pour another scotch and immerse myself in your video. My boats put if action. I’m removing the stern drive, rebuilding the transom and installing an outboard. Should be on the water around October. It’s only 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺P.S. I changed my RU-vid name but kept same thumbnail. Stay safe Capt.

Skip last April I got a shot in my knee that caused an infection in my bone, after six months and 3 surgeries I'm still jacked up. When I'm virtually on board your vessel it takes my mind off my many problems. Thank you and that's for real, the sounds put me on my Yamaha powered Grady, catch um up Skip

Awesome seeing a new video! Most people would never experience some of the most beautiful sunrise and sunsets we get out on the water.

Beautiful love the drone shots. I'm enjoying my Out on the Reef T-Shirt too!

First time I'm glad you were wearing a mask when you ate the eyeballs ... LOL. Those are my go-to mashed potatoes. They have so many flavors. You need to eat some greens too to complete the meal. Navigate Safe Captain

Amazing, Captain! New place, new adventure, and a whole new experience! Thanks for sharing. Always enjoy traveling on the Crooked Pilothouse and with a Cap who knows! Bravo Zulu to you!

Fish eyeballs and all, another great video cap, thanks for sharing these great places.

Great video the sand is so white and the water is beautiful see you next time

Thanks for taking us along on your voyages. A great video once again, be well...

The boating season in New England is put on hold. My marina is in Old Saybrook and the logs, docks floating down the river and debris from up north shut it down. We only get a few months as it is ... LOL. Prop Clear!

The capt always makes me hungry when he cooks lol🤤 another beautiful location. I have to check it out one day. Ty for sharing again 👍🤗

Beautiful crossing, flat calm. Abaco’s are nice. I’ve visited Green Turtle Cay and Elbow Key both verynice. Enjoy!

Great video Capt…oye siempre con esos snapper que se ven bien…pon esa camara debajo del agua para ver esos sharks when they hit your lines…drop that go pro like 30ft attached with a fishing rod so you can see the show down there…anyway great video can’t wait for the next one…stay safe Capt

Been waiting for a new vid captain. So great to see a new place; I’m looking to buy a boat soon hope to get out there and see you one day👍

Capt. Its good to see you expanding your travels to new places. The last time I was in the Abacos was 2019 2 weeks before hurricane Dorian and I anchored in the same spot but moved due to the constant rolling. From your drone footage you can really see how that stom has changed the sandbars and underwater landscape. I doubt my boat will be able to get around the island any more. Looking forward to the rst of your trip. Keep exploring.

That was a beautiful location. I loved the drone footage.

hey cap glad too see you back out on the reef as always great video

Blessings to you and your family always Captain. 🙏

Capt , it was great to meet you at Sandy Cay. You were correct. The wreck close to the cay was absolutely fantastic for snorkeling! Thank you for the info 😊 and the great videos.

Cap that autopilot is a god send let you hang out with the passengers but in you case yourself as all way a great video 👍

After getting our lobster @ Sandy Cay we would head NE to Matanilla Reef. Was a great spot for conch and snapper, at least it was 40 yrs. ago. Then we would head to Walker's. Great place before it was destroyed. 1 time a local asked to have our snapper carcasses. I asked "What do you do with them?" He replied, "We suck the eyeballs, we eat everything."😂

Nice slow mo action captain

Nice captain! Esos boniatillos me recordaron a mi abuelo, les encantaban. Navigate safe always

Just found your channel - great trips you take. It’s amazing to watch for someone like me up in Canada. That water is so beautiful. Love your boat too. Those Yamahas are great motors. We’ve got a little 90 on a Scout fish n ski for lake trips. Just love it. No warm oceans here unfortunately - lol. I’m very impressed at all your preparations for your voyages. Safe travels!

Hi captain, good to see you back out in the deep blue. Looking forward to the rest of this trip. Be safe. And prop clear

Get you a couple rapala or stretch 30's lures and troll them around the coral heads going across the bank to the Abacos I like red and white and blue/chrome, green and chrome. there are a few spots that there are alot of coral heads and you slow down put a couple out and catch some grouper and snapper and a occasional mackerel. Breaks up the trip to Grand nicely. Like the vids Be safe and when you said clear prop I instantly said to myself he's a pilot...

Ni e vídeo Capitán!!!! Beautiful place.

Fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing this awesome trip with us

Love your trip beautiful places 🇵🇷

Great job captain! Salutations from Catalan. M'encanta el teu canal. Gràcies per tot el que feu. Espero que algun dia pugui ser com tu. ❤

Capitan if you try those mash potatoes with half water half milk and wait for the mix to boil prior to adding the mix, you’ll have the best and creamiest MP EVER.

Nah Captain...YOU have a beautiful boat my friend.

el mar planchao plato y auto pilot on💪💪

Hi there captain.. I was at the Key West. Ocean edge. It was beautiful down here.. I did two Fishing trips down here.. Now my fantasy island day is over with.. 5 days of pleasure. Hot and humid. 104. 🥵😅😅😅🎉 Celebrating my birthday🎉. Keep on travel and tight lines..

Thanks for sharing!

Cap you need to check ou a SIONYX night wave camera to help you see on those pre dawn departures.

Wow, very nice beautiful and peaceful. If one could what a beautiful place to build a house there. Great job captain Safe Navigating

👍🏼👍🏼 grate footage

Buen día con todo respeto el mejor video que e visto sigue a delante,y con más videos como ese

Capt your a better man then me eating those eye balls! 👏👍

Great video captain

One of these days, I'll plan on making a trip over to Bimini/Bahamas, and West End for some deep fishing and trolling.

Red snapper and mero my favorite fish I could eat that every day 😜

The snappers looked delicious. I wish I had some fresh snapper to cook. Alas, wow is me b/c I'm stuck in FRAGILÉ Detroit. OOF.

i probably would have stayed in that protected anchorage. Much smaller waves and protection from wind. Current doesnt change. But that's just me.

Have you ever considered a Woodbridge boat? Or haven’t heard of them? I think that boat would fit you perfectly as house boat. Let me know…been watching you since your old Yamaha jet boat you had.

Next time, scale the fish before you put it on ice it cleans much easier

Always another awesome adventure out on the reef. The drone shots were awesome. You should go hunting for good fish film with the drone. What electronics do you have to spot the thunder squalls onscreen?

Have you ever considered one of those Jackery-style power stations? I know it’s added weight and some are expensive but they seem very quiet and you can use them at night. Not sure if they’re powerful enough to run the AC.

Hi Captain. Late to the video. What does the yellow banner mean that you put up? Do you check in with Customs because you are in "their" waters? The fish looked perfect, seeing the tails cooked and eaten is a first for me. Beautiful area and water.

Hey Cap! I'm sure its been asked before but I couldn't find it. Why don't you show your face? I mean it would be hard to recognize you when I'm running around Bimini next time!!!! Love your vids!

Beautiful

Hey Cap! Is that an In Reach with the red top fastened to your vest?

Why don't you put a sunroof on your Parker boat I do not know the name of it it's an extension that goes behind your pocketbook for you to get Shane and you can fish I love you videos it teaches me about sea of going fishing if you understand what I'm trying to say is that I admire you of going by yourself in the ocean and risking yourself for your adventures you are a true captain I analyze that you take care of yourself very well in family knows where you're at how many captains do what you do captain keep doing the good work in your videos I love them exclamation point

3mendo arenato lugar mas lindo donde anclaste en esa isla pero no digas el lugar por que despues llenan eso de basuras y botellas de cerveza😜😜😜😜😜

How long do you think you can rely on your motor . I know you do excellent maintenance, but so far out with one egine is kinda scary

Hi captain.... You still in Abacos? I'm here now and would love to meet you .

The only series that I wish they were longer! Tremendo lugar! Btw do you remember the name of the Marina where they told you that the Verizon service was down? I like to follow the trips on Google maps also 😆.. thanks Capt

Should convert that boat to jet drive.

Capo when you go to the Bahamas what are the cost involved when you check in customs - fishing license - crawfish stamp etc and gas prices at the dock - Do you gift the workers too ? Thanks Pat

Capt. how would that boat handle with a more powerful setup? Curious

That's so beautiful wow .thank you for video sum of will never get to go there and see it in person so kinda let's us feel a part of it .thank you Captain also what app is that where you can see the land and ocean seen like you was doing in video .is it Google earth ? Or what app thanks for any info .

What's your plan for if you have engine trouble during one of the crossings? I have a Trophy 25.5 with a single Yamaha 250. I run 12 miles out pretty regularly, but I'm worried about getting halfway home and having some kind of mechanical failure. It'd be a long wait and a $5000 sea-tow bill to get home if my engine quit.

where do you get one of those electric fishing machine ?

You have an automatic fishing rod??

💯👍

👀 It's time to. Invest satellite phone for emergency. In case you don't have no service.

I got to do this

What boat is that?

What’s the yellow flag for?

soo 18 inch míum draft

hate to tell you but eyeballs are not muscle bro....google it

Why do you need a yellow flag?

whats with the mask?

Beautiful waters. Los boniatillos estan riquicimos! Tha sharks are still terrifying your fishing 😂😂😂. Great video as always, can’t wait to see the rest.

Hey Capt. think you can do a LIVE that would be awesome

I really enjoyed the episode Capt. The weather looked great and the scenery is better than anything where I live. It’s off to bed for me, I have a midday shift tomorrow and look forward to next weeks episode. Stay safe mate. 👍🏻🇦🇺

You should invest in a FLIR! I could never not have one anymore when traveling at night!

Which city did you depart from, Cap'n, and where did you launch? Both details would be helpful for us to know. 3 hrs to West End is amazing - congratulations! And on your approach into Spooner Double Breasted, how skinny was that water? Loaded, you probably have a draft of 1 1/2 ft or so, so not very much. But it looked like you had to work your way into the beautiful anchorage.

Skipper I haven't checked in lately I've been in the hospital fighting a bone infection your content helps pass the time great video ty

You missed the front runner sand bar stuff 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 safe travels bro

good job captain as usual ,,, safe travels

Morning Captain, awesome video. I boat of Fort Pierce and am looking for a boat ramp that allows overnight, extended parking that is more direct to West End. Do you have any suggestions? I was hoping to use Phil Foster in Riviera Beach but doesn’t allow for longer than 24 hours. Thanks in advance.

Cuando yo sea grande quisiera ser como usted..cafe antes de dormir, luego generator problems.. y luego a dormir como si nada..si soy yo ahi mismo me mortifico y ya desvelao toda la noche..especialmente con ese cafetazo antes de dormir..usted es unico capitan Saludos!!!!

hi, gm.capt. just a suggestion, when you scaling your fish , try scaling in a bucket of water, it stops scales from flying all over your boat. then just pour over board when done... i love ur boat and how you set her up...

What do you think those fish are @29:20? They're on the left if you can't see them.

What type of boat this is? Love your boat and videos.

Thanks for such a peaceful video after a stressful day

Saludos brother! Love your boat, you have the perfect set up! How you made everything so convenient, the spot lock trolling motor, the generator, auto pilot, the Ac unit. Everything looks amazing, I would just add a kicker motor a 9.9 kicker just I case of emergency. Pero aún así está muy fregon tu bote.. Saludos y Bendiciones desde Arizona 🔥🤙🏻😎🙌🏻

It's a huge shark ( little shark surfaces 😂😂😂😂😂 )

Tenga orgullo de ser Cubano , hablé Español.

Brother, the Abacos are greatness. I’ve been there on a 60’ Rybovitch. For a couple weeks. Enjoy

saludos capitan cada dia mas lejos pero eso se logra con la confianza de la propulsión 👍👍👍⚓🇧🇸🏖

Try mayonnaise with the mash potatoes
