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.

You are the pioneers of this kind of video. I find them better than tv. I feel like I'm there.
One of your best videos... I’m amazed at how the sea retains its turquoise colour even on a cloudy day! ❤️
Awesome video, I realy like it, the way you show the screw function. Also the way you lie down the boat over the sand, amazing!!!! Cheers and happy sailings
Thank you, thank you!! Excellent episode and very informative.
The aerial drone photography has added a superb quality to your videos. And I love your new music. Your years of experience is shining through.
Beautiful, thank you so much!

As tv should be ... spectacular footage , so pleasant to watch
wow...The boat looks so beautiful surrounded in those tropical colours !
I was wondering that how I fell in love with sailing videos … now I recall , it was because of both of you .. I love you both ❤️❤️❤️
Fascinating episode, your combined experience is wonderful to watch and learn from, thank you from London.

It must be awesome being able to beach your boat like that! Definitely going to be keeping my eye out for southerlys in the future!
Beautiful video! Thank you.
The visual is beyond words. 😍
Excellent design. As always, design, engineering, and R&D make a great product. All sailboats wish they had this capability. It truly makes the sailing experience much more pleasurable.
Absolutely spectacular, what a treat.
Unreal ... a dreamland. Fantastic video!
That's some pretty pro' beaching. Nice work!
I live vicariously through you guys👍

Hello, thank you for yet another impressing episode! I really follow you with the outmost interest and respect, having worked a "whole life" in the banking industry - I am so stoked by your bold way of breaching the waves since some decades ago.
Just stunning!
Really nice, well done guys😊👍 by looking at your videos you are encouraging me to work harder to have a better life. Hope one day can be sailing throughout the world like you do😊
Lugar espetacular, barco fantástico, muito legal o vídeo, parabéns, abraço!
Weather in Europe is still some sort of nice but the blue in your video is beating everything. Thanks for another excellent video!

Watching this while I am about to start my shift. Wish I was there. Great video..

Wow you guys are so cool. I've been wanting to do something like this since the days of Blue Lagoon. I want to go sailing with you guys.
Stunning location :-)
Navigating in The Bahamas is all about the color of the water, spend a little time in a small boat, checking the depth sounder while watching the color change and you will know the depth to about a foot within a very short time. Fair Winds!!!
Drone view awsome
Coming in from the cold..nice song
Hi Paul and Cheryl, we had the pleasure of meeting you both in Gibraltar several years ago, (we had a 54DS Jenneau and brought your old chart plotter). Unfortunately as you know we had to sell our beautiful boat, but you will be pleased to know we will be in a position in the next two years to continue our adventure. We watch all of your travels, as before you both inspire us to return to the sea. Hope we meet again. Dave and Lynette
Love watching your TV show on AWE channel ❤️👍
Very nice boat

So beautiful. Would love to experience this one day too. Unfortunately our Lady N. doesn’t have a retractable keep.
Captivating viewing from experienced pros. Not something everybody would try. Like your anchor too, mainly because we’ve just spec’d exactly that one for our 14t tri. Hope we’ve made the right decision, but the fact you’re using one gives us much more confidence.
Wow, excellent video!

Where we met you. Really loved that area. Can't wait to go back. We toyed with the idea of selling everything and buying a boat but not sailors and hubby not 100% on sailing. So we let others do it for us! Safe sailing and hope you sell your lovely boat soon.
Reallly enjoyed seeing the "on-purpose" run aground. Would have enjoyed some discussion about your thrusters and checking/cleaning them. Cheers
Congratulations, what a dream of yours. Bless be upon you

Love your videos, something about you, you find it very fascinating that you can beach the boat. I don’t know if it’s only me but I’d rather stay a float. Cheers

The Exumas in the Bahamas are so beautiful. Those variable draft Southerlys are amazing and give you a lot of options to adventure in shallow waters. I wonder how many times you get people thinking "looks like another dumb yachtie ran a ground" and stop by to see if you need help. Great video Paul & Cheryl. Thanks!

LOL yes we get people coming by to check on us often. In that shallow area the natives run through in shallow skiffs and were worried for our safety. Such nice people in the Bahamas!!! Another problem we have is yachties following us since they assume we have local knowledge and are 6 feet deep draft.

@@DistantShoresTV Oh my that is quite the trap following the yacht in front of you!
Good job as always guys. I was wondering in heavy seas and tropical gales how does the Southerly keel compare for handling and steadiness compared to a stationary keel in something like an Amel? Also curious how the interior quality compares.
very cool
amazing.. a would stay here 1-2 months :D
I got a quick glimpse of your masthead light at night. I wondered if you show red over red when you are aground?
i would work without fee on your boat :D All I want is to see the places you've traveled
That’s one way to dry dock!
Good vid ya'll.
Well, I have to tell you something. You do not help me to do my work :) I'm sitting at home during the coronavirus quarantine, and trying to do my work remotely. Am just wondering...why the hell I'm here, instead of being on that beach...

Nice boat in great condition in paradise. What more could you ask for? Hmm, let me think. Best time to beach is slightly after high tide (peak) so the boat can easily be re-floated on the peak of high tide.
