I’d pay $500 a night for a private cabin for me and mrs subway on one of those pimp ass boats.
but yeah we have indeed looked hard at Kandui villas. That might be the call next year maybe
tangentially related to boats in the tropics that do not belong to subway- we had to get a boat ride around the glass bridge last week because the bridge was washing over with 20 foot swell exploding into a narrow crevice. Insane storm. Was gnarls. People die all the time trying to cross the bridge when Eleuthera is in “Rage” as the expats call it
Long story short, We jumped in a local-owned and operated CC MAKO, and the captain, a local fisherman (and seafood shack owner) asked a few of us to shift weight to improve the trim. Being a cheeky and wildly inappropriate adrenaline junkie, as I passed the wheel, naturally I sat down, grabbed the wheel, and gave the throttle a little gas. Mind you this little Mako had a dozen tourists and locals who all needed to get to the other side and even though we were on the leeward side- it was blowing 30+ and pouring. I side eyed the captain with my best “trust me” smile to make sure he wasn’t about to knock me out (well within his rights and abilities from the look of him)
After 20 seconds or so, he said ok you had your fun mon, you don’t know where all de reefs are” and I returned command to her rightful owner.
Essentially I took control of a foreign flagged vessel without the captain's permission. For about 20 seconds I was an honest to god pirate, according to generally accepted international standards and treaties governing the high seas
and by gawd I even have pics so it did indeed happen. The Dread Pirate Subway makes his move. This was taken by a Venezuelan dude who lives in Brooklyn. Cool guy, and may have gotten the shot of the trip just by taking this 20 second video of me commandeering a boat I had literally just boarded 3 minutes prior.
