SailAway 33 | SAILING ACROSS the GULF STREAM to ABACOS, BAHAMAS! | Sailboat Living Sailing Vlog

We sail off into the night, CROSS the GULF STREAM, enter the BAHAMA BANK, and check in at SPANISH CAY, ABACO, BAHAMAS!!
After setting ourselves up for the crossing at Lake Worth Inlet, Florida, we head to the Bahamas at about 11:00PM. This location would give us a due east approach to the Bahamas, while the Gulf Stream current hopefully swept us north to our target Bahamas Bank entrance of Memory Rock. It’s important to enter at daylight and only by a known route such as Memory Rock, due to the shallow depths and reef that surrounds all of the Bahamas.
After a successful night, we make the entrance as our depth goes from thousands of feet to about 14 in less than a mile! We press on another 60 miles to Great Sale Cay (outrunning a squall and an ominous water spout) to rest up and complete our initial journey for check in at Spanish Cay the next day.
Our intention was to press on to Green Turtle Cay, but Spanish was just way to chill and nice to leave! Plus we enjoyed watching the dozen or so GIANT sharks feeding on the chum from the fishermen right in the marina! Watch next week as we press on to Hopetown and prepare to RACE in Regatta Time Abacos! Be sure to SUBSCRIBE for WEEKLY CONTENT! Cheers!!
