Kevin's Unofficial Anchoring Guide to Key West | Ep. 296
Party! Key West is a fun town, lots to do and see. It’s a “big port”. There are several large marinas if you are visiting by yacht, but they might not suit your budget, or if you are engineless like me, they are nearly impossible to get to. Which leaves anchoring. Key West abounds in anchoring possibilities. However, the holding is uneven and few of the anchorages offer 360 protection. In the wintertime strong cold fronts come ripping through and boats break loose. So choose your anchorage wisely, and never take your eye off of the weather.

Mast Repair (from a bosun’s chair) | Ep. 295
I make my way to "winter base camp", which is Newfound Harbor, in the Florida Keys. There I find a decently protected anchorage and access to supplies, so I can rest for a while. Rest? Of course not. I just won't be sailing so that I can catch up on boa...
To the Florida Keys! | Ep. 294
The long trek south from Cape Breton to Florida is done! But I still haven't reached "winter base camp" at Newfound Harbor and Key West. So after a re-stock in Key Biscayne, I'm off again down the Hawk Channel, in blustery, winter conditions. SUPPORT H...
Taking the Scenic Route Through the Bahamas | Ep. 293
I arrive in the Berry Islands following an overnight trip from the Abacos. There I get a night of rest before setting off again across the Bahama Bank, wanting to catch the forecasted, favorable southerly winds to blow me across the Strait of Florida. SU...
A Day in the Abacos | Ep. 292
I drop anchor in the bight by Treasure Island Cay to ride out a frontal passage. Brisk northwesterlies soon moderate the following day and I carry on with my journey. I don't head directly back out to sea, however, opting to take the scenic route throug...
The Gale Has Passed, the Bahamas Beckon | Ep. 291
The gale roars like a lion and then steals away on cat's feet. The following day I'm struggling to make progress in light winds, trying to close with the Abacos ahead of an approaching, strong cold front. SUPPORT HOW TO SAIL OCEANS ON PATREON: https://pa...
