Offshore to the Bahamas in January | Ep. 289
Brrrr! It's New Year's Day, 2025, and there's something like a window to depart Beaufort, southbound to the Bahamas and on to Florida. Overall a decent if blustery passage on tap, except for a spell of light gale conditions three days out ... SUPPORT HO...

... as it had rolled five thousand years ago. I'm making great progress south toward the Abacos, but I have a day of rough weather to contend with. Though only 12 hours of actual gale conditions are in the forecast, that's enough to put me through seve...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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 leav...

Never as good as the first time? Second visit to the Dry Tortugas was even better than the first, at least for me it was. Now, admittedly, I had to drag myself out of my bunk to get underway from Key West, all grumpy and growling I was. The Dry Tortu...

Foiled by headwinds, following the sun | Ep. 298
Returning from the mystical atoll that is the Dry Tortugas, which is an overnight sail for me, I am foiled by contrary wind and current barely three miles from the Mule Key anchorage. After several futile tacks, I opt to anchor in the lee of the shoal and...

OK, I don't have an anemometer. I just liked the word play in the title when it makes you think of the country song "Gentle on my Mind". Actually this passage started off blustery, but a few days into it and the Gulf Stream went flat, the breezes warm a...
