On the Beach Overnight - We Were Playing the Tides | Distant Shores

We are exploring the Exuma Island group in the Bahamas. Such amazing water colours! We find a shallow place where we can put our Southerly 480 on the sand and try beaching her, then wait for low tide to dry out. We’ve also been testing out the Varifold 4-blade folding propeller for a year now, travelling 10,000 miles. We demonstrate how it works and do a review. 03:58 Going up on the beach 08:42 Varifold Propellor Review 11:06 Tidal Planning #sailing #sailinglife #bahamas #exumas #hurricanedorian #Southerly480 #DiscoveryYachtsGroup #offshore #snorkelling Principal photography by Paul and Sheryl Shard.
