This week Caroline and Cecile look at a week rife with incidents, including a yacht fire off the coast of Sardinia that resulted in the yacht's loss, the well publicised slow collision of Lady Moura and Venus, and the sinking of Lovebug in the Chasepeake Bay. They also discuss the recent wrongful-death lawsuit filing by the family of French diver Paul-Henri Nargeolet, which comes a bit more than a year after the June 2023 Titan submarine tragedy. On more positive news, they talk about Cecile's recent trip to the Exumas and the strange history of Norman's Cay, the debut of a secretive new 78-metre yacht by Admiral and Lobanov Design, and highlight a few of many interesting debuts at the Cannes Yachting Festival. https://www.boatinternational.com/yachts/news/heesen-atina-yacht-fire-olbia-italy https://www.boatinternational.com/yachts/news/venus-yacht-crash-naples-italy-lady-moura https://www.boatinternational.com/yachts/news/salvage-removal-lovebug-yacht-capsizes-sinks-chesapeake-bay-maryland-usa https://www.boatinternational.com/yachts/news/oceangate-titan-disaster-implosion-lawsuit-latest-news-2023-submarine-submersible https://www.boatinternational.com/yachts/news/admiral-superyacht-platinum-spotted-first-images https://www.boatinternational.com/yachts/news/yacht-debuts-2024-cannes-yachting-festival BOAT Pro: https://www.boatinternational.com/boat-pro Subscribe: https://www.boatinternational.com/subscriptions Contact us: podcast@boatinternationalmedia.com

Hear about travel to the Exumas in the Bahamas as the Amateur Traveler talks to Tessie from TravelingTessie.com about these sundrenched islands she has fallen in love with. https://amateurtraveler.com/travel-to-the-exumas-bahamas/ Why should someone go to the Exumas? Tessie says, "It's a perfect destination if obviously, you enjoy the beach. But the beaches, they're very unique because they're really unspoiled. And there's not a lot of crowds. So if someone's interested in that, it's a really great destination for that, but it's also great for people with kids, for bachelorette couples, and friend groups that are looking for a place to get away from it all. I feel like, Exumas is truly a hidden gem." Day 1: Arrival in Georgetown Fly into Georgetown, Exumas. Check into Paradise Bay Hotel Relax on the beach, explore the hotel's surroundings, and get familiar with the area. Day 2: Full-Day Boat Tour Book a full-day boat tour departing from Georgetown. Visit Thunderball Grotto for snorkeling (film location of a James Bond movie). Optional: Swim with nurse sharks at Compass Cay Marina. Visit Pig Island for a unique experience of swimming with pigs. Lunch is included in the tour. Explore beautiful sandbars, some of which were featured in Pirates of the Caribbean. Day 3: Explore Georgetown and Stocking Island Explore Georgetown, visit the straw market, and shop for local souvenirs. Take a ferry to Stocking Island. Spend the day at Chat 'n' Chill beach bar, known for its fresh conch salad and stingrays. Day 4: Little Exuma Beach Day Rent a car and drive to Little Exuma. Explore Pretty Molly Beach, Forbes Hill Beach, and Tropic of Cancer Beach. Visit Exuma Point Beach at low tide. Take an eco-tour at Mariah Harbor K National Park to learn about and witness marine life. Day 5: ATV Tour and Sea Turtle Encounter Morning ATV tour exploring the northwestern part of Great Exuma. Stops at Cocoa Plum Beach, Exuma Point, and the historical site of Pompeii. Lunch. Afternoon visit to Hooper's Bay Beach for swimming and snorkeling with wild sea turtles. Day 6: Boat Rental and Exploration in Elizabeth Harbor Rent a boat from Georgetown and explore Elizabeth Harbor. Discover an underwater cave, visit Starfish Beach, and snorkel at a coral reef. Explore Sand Dollar Beach. Return to Georgetown. Day 7: Return to Exuma Point Beach Visit Exuma Point Beach again, especially if you missed it at low tide. Relax and unwind before departing. Depart for home. If you are looking for remote beaches and a unique experience with swimming pigs then the Exumas are worth your consideration.
In this 205th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.In this episode, we briefly discuss solar storms, Carrington events, and the possible failure of the electrical grid. Then: what does the absence of organisms where they once were mean? In the Exumas, Bahamas, this month, there were no laughing gulls. Eight months ago they were abundant in the same place. Could they be migrating? Might it be a pathogen? Local patchiness? Major decline for other reasons, like competition, or toxicity from plastics or pesticides? We discuss conservation success stories, like sea otters and bald eagles and California condors; and failures, like sea stars on the West coast of North America; and show some videos from the Bahamas. We object to the conflation of “environmental decline” with “climate change.” And we discuss curly haired “woolly dogs” of the Pacific Northwest, who were bred and cared for by the Coast Salish people, but are now extinct.*****Our sponsors:Mindbloom: at-home ketamine therapy.

In this 124th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens. This week, we discuss the biology, geology, and conservation of the Bahamas, particularly the Exumas islands. How do parrotfish turn coral into sand, what's up with tropicbirds, and what does it mean that all Caribbean beaches have trash on them? Apologies for the sound quality during the videos. We also discuss the lifting of federal mask mandates on transportation; the White House arguing that “affirmative care” for children who say they are transgender is “best practice”; the new czar of disinformation, brought to you by the Department of Homeland Security; and whether our President is fit for office. Finally, we spend a few minutes talking about ancient children playing in the footprints of giant sloths, and whether Indiana Jones was correct in suggesting that little scorpions are scarier than big ones. ***** Support the sponsors of the show: Ned: is a CBD company that uses USDA certified organic full spectrum hemp oil, and creates specialty blends to help with stress and sleep.

Waking Up the Ghost? I’ll let Marilyn explain: “… the first time I heard that expression, I was sitting on a deserted island in the Exumas, with a jaundiced Bahamian named Sands. I think it is also the first time a Bahamian man has ever refused a free drink. What Sands meant, was that the icy beer I offered would lead to another, and another and another; it was safer to keep the Ghost in check by not drinking at all.” A year and a half into her recovery Marilyn shares some insight on keeping the spirit(s) at bay.
