We're a little bit tired but we decided not to stay in Tobago Keys for the night. I felt like we did all the islands So we're heading to Canawan which is our next stop here in St. Vincent and the Grenadines What would you rate Tobago Keys for the viewers? I'd give it like a 7 out of 10 7 out of 10. What was your highlight of your trip in the Tobago Keys? Seeing a big ass barracuda and getting so close to the turtles and the stingray that's quite nice And the blue warm water Yeah, the water is amazing The water is a 10 out of 10, no doubt The water is 10 out of 10 As you can see behind Ricky how nice it looks Just like I'm expecting an explosion of fish in these places It's not there It is like a little aquarium but you don't see the big stuff around The same like South African waters where there's like monster grouper there's monster Not in all places but yeah you get it But majority So yeah, but it's beautiful I'm excited to do Canawan It looks like a nice little town like very European-y The sail from Tobago Keys to Canawan is roughly 6 nautical miles Sail baby Don't forget to subscribe below if you haven't already and click on the notification bell to let you know when we upload a new episode and like this video as well share it with your friends and family It's a free way you can support our channel I am busy doing a thing here in this kitchen So you know how we caught coconuts yesterday So I decided I'm going to make pina coladas. I've never made pina coladas in my life before. I always order them So I decided let me make some. So I took all the meat as they call it from the coconut and with the what do you call the brown stuff? The bark? I don't even know what you call it and I put it in the blender with the coconut water that comes in the coconut and I blend it up and it makes this Huh? I don't know why you call it the brown stuff around the coconut like the layer of skin that's on the actual white meat. Now I've shredded coconut over here as you can see use that for baking or whatever I want to do with it and then I put it in the blender I take the, I squeeze the milk out of the shredded coconut and then I after that then I add the milk. I put the milk in with some rum. I didn't put a lot of rum because I don't like pina coladas tasting like rum. I like the coconut sweetness to it. I put a can of pineapples some ice and a little bit of sugar and blended it all together and here's my pina colada This is the leek My nutmeg I learnt this in Grenada and you pop a little bit of nutmeg over like so Chinchino There's a lot of ---- floating around Well that's what a natural pina colada is It's coconut floating around I can see why Jack Sparrow was disappointed You burnt all his rum I burnt his rum Cheers to the sunset Cheers to sailing Cheers to Tobago Keys Cheers to Kanawhan where we are right now Yeah cheers to Kanawhan Someone's private jet on the runway there We'll go exploring tomorrow It looks pretty but it's empty It's like no one here The following day we headed off to explore the island of Kanawhan So we anchored out there and we just brought the dinghy We beached it over here but I think we could have also used the dock but we weren't sure so rather put it on the beach Go check out Kanawhan Super excited to see this place Kanawhan is only 6km long with a population of 1,700 Although small this island is fancy with the runway for private jets and a marina for super yachts alike What is up with us and choosing uphills Baby Baby these islands are built on uphills After our whole day dive in Tobago Keys yesterday now we decide to do a nice long walk What? Romantic long walks It's getting pretty Got told that you shouldn't anchor your boat or anything like that I think it's on the other side, on the western side Well either side you're not, whichever way they land or take off, yeah you shouldn't anchor there because sometimes they miss the runway and they'll go to a boat So I was like Isn't it that they approach low or they go over their own way I don't know I can't remember if either landing or taking off Well I mean they've got to come at a different angle but I don't know There's jets landing and they say that it can land the biggest private jets That'll probably move your wide bodies And now coming to one of the best spots in the world The Kanawhan Airport Simone's not impressed But I am Check out this baby Bam!
