The REALITY of "Living The Dream" in PARADISE

Описание: 🔧 Boat Work Before a Big Crossing | Marsh Harbour, Bahamas (Nordhavn Prep!)
This week, it’s all about prepping our Nordhavn trawler for a 100-hour, 5-day offshore passage — and where better to tackle boat maintenance than Marsh Harbour in the Abaco Islands?

We pulled into The Conch Inn & Marina, a favorite stop for cruisers, to knock out essential boat work before heading out on our next big adventure.

⸻

⚙️ In This Episode:
• Getting our engine room ready for a long offshore passage
• A few mistakes (and lessons learned) as we handle boat maintenance ourselves
• Exploring Marsh Harbour, a provisioning hub in the Abacos with hardware stores, chandleries, marine services, and more
• Staying at The Conch Inn & Marina – fantastic staff, well-kept docks, and easy access to town
• Sharing tips on preparing a Nordhavn trawler for extended cruising

⸻

Marsh Harbour is one of the best cruiser-friendly towns in the Bahamas — whether you’re looking for parts, fuel, groceries, or a clean marina to rest and refit. If you’re headed through the Abacos by boat, this is the place to stop.
