Crossing The Gulf Stream In A Small Boat | Sailboat Story 33

The time has come for us to sail our small sailboat across the Gulf Stream towards the Bahamas.

Now, instead of making progress South down the protected waters of the Atlantic ICW, we must turn our little ship East, and head out into the open waters of the Atlantic Ocean.

In this video, we leave the USA, we check in at Bimini, we spend the night anchored on Mackie Shoal, then we finish up at Great Harbour in the Berry Islands… just in time for a monster cold front to hit us.

Fun stuff.

Oh, and get this… there’s sailing in this video.

GASP!!!

Sailing you say?? You heard right! We raise those white triangle-shaped pieces of cloth of begin making miles, not with the power of a diesel engine, but by that incredible, invisible force that has propelled ships over the horizon for thousands of years… wind.

Thanks for watching!!
