We're Finally SAILING to THE BAHAMAS! (It's Happening π) Ep 177
We wrap up our time in the Dominican Republic with one last dreamy anchorage in front of the stunning Cayo Levantado, before setting sail on a 2-day open water passage to the Bahamas! Most of this episode follows our journey across the sea β the sails, the conditions, the quiet moments underway β until we finally make landfall in Inagua, Bahamas. After checking in, we head to a peaceful anchorage to rest up… because the real adventure is just beginning.
β΅ Watch as we sail from the DR to the Bahamas
π Final stop in the Dominican Republic: Cayo Levantado
π 2-day offshore passage
π§πΈ Clearing into the Bahamas at Inagua
β Resting up before exploring more of the Bahamas!
