Tiny Island, HUGE 😲| Sailing Statia | Beau and Brandy 

Great video, one correction though. Planters on other islands also allowed the enslaved to keep provision grounds. This enabled the planters to save money on providing food for the enslaved.

your poor dog is so old his legs were quivering on your walk. Has he always sailed with you? Bless his heart. He's a trooper

Man, that was one tough island! Just like when I was a young kid, you had to walk 4 miles up hill, both ways! Only we had snow, of course.

What a GREAT episode. Thanks for the History lesson. GOD speed. JC

I loved the history of the armoury! Especially the details about the stone and build. ESP that you pointed out the straight wall! Nothing like a square, plumb line! Lol. Ps- there was a 40 min ad on here. Sorry guys, I’ll put it on when I’m sleeping!

That is a mighty tasty looking charcuterie board in a magical setting.

Wonderful episode! School is over and I am catching up!

Thank you for the true history lesson.

I love it when you two do videos like this. Its great to hear the history and meet the people of the island you visit. 😊 Thanks

Love your channel!❤️ Love your pup!❤️

The Fort was my favorite place to visit! Beautiful place to see the whole island!

Not really sure if I ever seen breakfast dishes cleaned that way. Not judging. Lol. Just admiring the dedication to the bacon and eggs. Haha

Another video with great content, scenery, and awesome balance of history from the experts. Still the bees are my favorite, but this was great history.

Was that Beau doing Oonas job on the breakfast plates ? Great video as usual guys ... Stay Safe & Fair Winds from Ireland !!

Fascinating fort...nice spread. Thanks Beau and Brandy..

Hi guys. Still working on Tortuga. Thanks for the awesome videos... yous keep me going !!! 🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️

hahaha, I lick the plates too. It's where all the spices are! Then you guys begin with food and end with food, and that looked delicious. Well done!

Thanks for sharing the Statia adventure! Who knew!

A man after my own! Nothing should go to waste when it's eggs and BEACON!

Another excellent video!!! Very informative

Another awesome video! So much to love about Statia! Tell Beau the boat next to him probably has eggs to spare..........plate licker. Haha.

Brandy this is a very interesting part of your venture.......Very interesting

Great job telling the story! Awesome place and y'all did a great service to it..

Moats are used as sewers. If your wounds don't kill you, the infection will. Archers would also stand arrows in buckets of effluent or do their business in the ground where they are stood, they would then stick their arrows in the ground where they had all used it as a toilet. If you got hit by such an arrow and it didn't kill you, eventually the infection would.

Wonderful docu-travel episode! Eeeeezy to watch. (except the plate licking haha) BnB gets better and bettrer!

Love you guys n your videos n of course Una, I think salty dogs time is near.... be prepared🥲 I know you take excellent care of her!!

Awesome "Top Chef" flip of that tomato in the beginning whoever that was! Couldn't tell by the thumb I was able to glimpse since you both have short nails. I'm going to guess Brandy, although it strikes me as more of a Beau thing to do.. Ha Ha & speaking of Beau things to do no judgment here for licking those plates brother! My question is who wouldn't? Egg yolks with tomato & bacon juice, are you kidding me? Bottle it & we're rich! (My idea partners!) 😁 Finally, I absolutely love that you've discovered this hidden gem, yet I hope it stays "hidden" from the masses. It's always the places off the trail that are best in my experience & my opinion.. I have an idea/theory for that adorable little archeology chick. It'll be more easily obtainable than Ground Penetrating Radar to trace that possible tunnel down to an entrance. They could try a Thermal sensing device. From a cheap one that just displays the temperature, to a camera that shows you the temps in color mounted on a drone, & anything in between would work. The theory being that precisely at the evening crepuscular hours (dusk) the surface temp of the "roof" of said cave or cavity would cool much quicker than the solid earth to either side, & one could follow the "cooler dirt" to a point on a hill where an entrance may have collapsed long ago. I think after sun set would be best in areas that are open, but if it leads to shaded areas, they might be more difficult at this time, & may be best checked during the hottest time of day.. The easiest tool to use on this would be a drone, & the best priced one right now in the US is the Anafi Thermal (drone) for $1,900. on ebay. I've been tempted for a few months to pull that trigger, just haven't. Although I could easily be swayed if I thought having one might get my presence requested out of this pit we call Upstate NY, & on that hidden gem aka Statia forevermore...😂😂 Only half joking btw! I do have many talents, skills & an adaptable knowledge base that I'm sure The Shipwreck Survey people or someone there would find to be very productive & helpful! I've even been nick-named "Joe I. Know" because of it.. Just sayin in case the right person is here reading this..😉 Sorry this is so long, guess I couldn't find a more concise way to articulate everything I wanted to say.. It happens. It was actually nice to have so much to say & check in with you guys again, as many times although I enjoy seeing what you're up to, I don't feel I have anything to offer that might add to the conversation or the experience. 😎👍

Thank you for bringing us along

Amazing video guys. Thx for sharing it with us. PS I would have licked the plate too🤣

Love the History lesson on Statia!!

Thanks for the history lesson. Beautiful little island.

Wonderful video, great lesson in history. You guys are great!!

Funny that old cemetery is right next my yard it is practically my neighbor.

You guys are becoming my firm favourites - I love how natural your adventures are - just like I love the look on my woman's face when I lick the plates clean hahahahaha ;) Beau, you da man!!

Good show folks. I really enjoyed it.

Most excellent - love the part where Beau is preserving all the food for energy presented on his plate (I too imbibe in this time honored tradition)!! Also, the history here is so rich, hope to get that way one day and do these same things you guys do on your adventures!!

Very nice... The slow-moe of the beach, perfect for our soul. Now the most, matress, really, just burn it!!! Oh well.. Guess whale, or whatever they used, oil was not around.. Wow, lot of cars for such a small island. Would have thought more bikes, motor and peddle type. Place must have a big port. Been to St. Kitts, didn't know of this place. Think Jimmy Buffet reference it in some songs.. Nice find. On other questions, do you guys have time limits to how long one can stay in a port? They charge you to anchor on these stops? If so, guessing it's a whole lot cheaper than a night's stay. I get the traveling by boat from place to place, just the cost of staying vs air traveling as a visitor. Keep up the great job of keeping us educated on these remote island's. Makes us all want to travel again. PS, no masks required???

It’s way easier to clean spit than bacon grease!

you guys do the best when it comes to historical tours. many thanks

That is a very interesting place.

The history on Statia island was well it, just blew me away looking for that information my whole life. So a big Thank You!.

You are almost living a "normal" life there!!! How amazing! I wouldn't leave

Thank you both for the visit to this incredible jewel in the Caribbean. So much history. Take care and keep having a wonderful time.

Fantastic editing!!

That was nice, to learn history of a place I've never heard about.

ya'll are killing it...another super vid chock full of awesome history told by some great experts. We love it. Stay safe guys.

My guess is that the moat was the septic tank. Boy was I wrong about that ha ha

Really cool and interesting video! Loved it!

Great video and history !! Thanks !!

You guys are awesome! I love the views. It's 20 degrees here.

Great history loved it great video

Thanks for the wonderful history lesson and great views of the island. Safe travels.

Great video, love the history and map etc. thanks

Excellent history of this beautiful island!

So educational - thank you for sharing also beautiful sunset

Floppy bacon is the best

Very interesting.

Enjoyed the history aspect of your latest video. I had never heard of this island before. Had to Google it. Thanks for the videos you give us.

I am really really liking this video‼️ Best video so far‼️ 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 thank yo guys.... seeya next week‼️😉

Nice, thanks

Loved the video. 👍

Very nice episode. Good history. The Caribbean is full of that type of stories. We have some here in Puerto Rico.

great job loved it your shows are 100 percent. thank you.

Thank you

Too bad Beau, I am judging...you as a good in my book! Of course, being from Ft Pierce, I also might be a little biased.

Loved this episode! Love your travels and explorations! Thank you ❤

In case Ruud, Alex and the SECAR folks are reading these comments, please note that the "winged hourglass" is not an historically Jewish symbol for "an early death." This "time flies" or "tempus fugit" symbol origins are unclear but became popular in the late 17th century and appeared on gravestones all over Europe and even on the flags of several pirates. The Jewish grave symbol for someone who died young is a tree trunk cut low.

That was very interesting. I enjoyed hearing about the history, I enjoy history. So, this was perfect. Thanks for sharing.

Interesting 👀❤️

What a stunning island

I won’t judge you for cleaning your plate, have a concern you didn’t cook the eggs in the bacon grease to add to the flavor. You might like using lemon pepper on the eggs cooked in bacon grease with a bit of garlic powder, mmmmmmmmm. Interesting history for the little island

Dr. Norman Barka R.I.P. was the lead guy on the collage of william and mary digs. I volenteered on one of his digs in bermuda. Next time you lick the plate like that please put it on the floor. Epicurian eddict! Geeeze...

Fascinating place. Thanks so much for sharing!

I really enjoyed the presentation. The islands are always bringing back memories. One thing I noticed no one was wearing a mask. Do they not have covid issues on the island? Also Brandy and Beau, where are you guys from? Thanks again.😊

Grate video ⛵⛵⛵

Very interesting!

this is a very informative video and i like oh you share a little bit of the history of the places you visited and is luna ok it? look like she was struggling on her walk

Happy St valentines Day you 2 Love Birds ;-) ;-) , hiya Oona ;-)

I was able to see a video about Barbuda and its effect on the Carolina's of the U.S. and I wouldn't be surprised that Sugar Cane was grown all around Barbuda, including Statia. It was pretty much the first crop and everything goes back to those time, very wealthy times. The oldest mansions, and some interesting movable little houses, used by slaves at first. So at 20:27 that looks like immature sugar cane maybe ?

I’m glad my iPad doesn’t have smelly vision as the bacon looks awesome.

Practice makes perfect !

Love the history & scenery. Nice video. Maybe next time put up a warning for female viewers before Beau starts licking plates!😎 Cheers from Juneau Alaska, Greg Chaney

Good morning! Happy Valentine's day to both of you!

Great video!

Would like to talk to y’all about the way to get a sailboat and other thangs

Did they fill the moat with snakes?

Maybe wild hogs in moat?

Gorgeous editing and videography!! We appreciate it!

What's the name of the music that was playing at the end of the episode?

‘’’ don’t judge me “ .... lol

What is that red glowing disk on your induction stove?

I would have filled it with cactus :-)

Moats filled with lions and tigers.

Crocs?

Sand or volcanic rocks in the moat??

I am editing a video today that I tell how I found you guys and a little more. Check ot out if you have time. You know that thing we have so little of when we look back.

Now Beau, only pirates lick there plate.

Happy Valentine's Day. Happy Bacon treat. 😉
