High Seas Private Excursion, The Bahamas

Two if by sea Travel Video duration – 4.29 min The Russell Brothers Nassau, Bahamas Travel Video Search for the Good life Adventure – Ecology Norman’s Cay Exuma Island (spelt as Excuma in the video) This is MacDuff’s Bar and Grill at Norman’s Cay, Exuma. We just come right up to the beach and jump off and go in to get something to eat. Our family has been here since the late 1700’s. We are part of the original Loyalists that landed in the Bahamas, actually in Eleuthera and in Abaco. And that’s kind of where they settled. Late 19… early 1920’s, tourism started to boom in Nassau and so there was a mass migration of people moving from Eleuthera and Abaco for work. We have our grandfather, he is pretty much the person who is responsible for us getting into the business and learning a lot about the water. He was actually a former captain of the Duke of Windsor and growing up we heard stories and traveling around the islands he showed us a lot of what... What the water is about. Thank you. Oh, I love your boat Leaf Cay, Exuma , Bahamas Oh my gosh, the wildlife out here is amazing! We are actually located at Leaf Cay. We’re about 30 miles south-east of Nassau on a chain of islands called the Exumas. These are South American Rock Iguanas and really, the true way to see the Bahamas, is by boat and to come out and experience the islands. And so, what we’re going to do is, as you can see, we call this our Jurassic Park. Oh my gosh And we’re going to take you ashore, give you a stick and some grapes and let you feed the iguanas Alright. …….. Oh my goodness! Did you see that? I can’t believe it! The story behind it is that, you know, the Bahamas was famous for its piracy. And pirates used to like to eat these. And somewhere around here, they think, that a pirate ship sank and these guys swam ashore. Saddleback Cay Exuma, Bahamas We’re actually at an area called Saddleback Cay. It’s part of a bank system and it shifts during the year. Been here for quite a while. Back in the old Bahama maps, they used to number the islands. And it’s actually a numbered island but during the year, it kind of keeps its formation but kind of shifts back and forth. As you can see the drift is shallow, you can walk along the shore and put your fingers into the sand and come up with these nice white sand dollars. This is by far our most popular spot when it comes to our guests. They get here like “you know what, I don’t want to move. There is no place better than this. So let’s just stay here for the day.”

Tour the Bahamas Islands with 10th Generation Sailors

Starting at Norman’s Cay Beach Club in Nassau, the Russell Brothers take you on an exploration through The Bahamas. The brothers’ relationship with the islands dates to the late 1700s. Their family was part of the original Loyalists who landed on Eleuthera and The Abaco Islands. Fast forward to the early 1920s when tourism began to boom and many islanders began moving to Nassau for work. One of these migrants was the brothers’ grandfather, a former captain of the Duke of Windsor. He got his grandchildren involved in the business and sparked their love for the water. Now, the brothers own the popular and secluded hotel club here that attracts tourists looking for a cultural Bahamas escape. Hop aboard their boat as they demonstrate how to enjoy The Bahamas by sea, traveling 30 miles southeast of Nassau to Leaf Cay in the Excuma Islands. A down-scaled “Jurassic Park,” here you’ll catch a glimpse of the South American Rock Iguana population. Boat a little further to Saddleback Cay and see why guests flock to this serene location scattered with beautiful white sand dollars.
