5 Months of Living in The Bahamas and Now THIS...| EP45

Living Aboard Our Nordhavn N41 – From the Bahamas to Maine After five unforgettable months living aboard our Nordhavn N41 trawler in the Bahamas, it’s time for the next chapter of our cruising adventure. Returning to a land-based life isn’t in our plans—so the journey continues north! This season, we’re setting a course for the coast of Maine to experience its rugged shorelines, rocky coves, and a completely different kind of natural beauty. But for us, the journey is just as important as the destination. In this episode, we: • Explore historic Beaufort, North Carolina • Cruise up the Intracoastal Waterway to the remote village of Ocracoke in the Outer Banks • Visit the iconic Coinjock Marina in Virginia—famous among cruisers for its prime rib dinner (but is it really the best on the ICW?) Along the way, we encounter rough weather, big seas, and the charm of small U.S. coastal towns. If you love trawler life, passagemaking, and real-world cruising experiences—this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
