We're Finally SAILING to THE BAHAMAS! (It's Happening 🌊) 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 — the sails, the conditions, the quiet moments underway — 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.
⛵ Watch as we sail from the DR to the Bahamas
📍 Final stop in the Dominican Republic: Cayo Levantado
