SDA227 Epic Bahamas Farewell
Some places are hard to leave.
The last days we spent in the Bahamas brought daily lightning storms, curious dolphins, and a few final dives before turning Dark Angel toward the Dominican Republic.
In this episode of Sailing Dark Angel we’re anchored at Mathew Town, Great Inagua, waiting through daily lightning storms for a weather window to beat to the Dominican Republic. Dolphins keep visiting while we manage to get both engines running long enough to dock at the marina for fuel. Between storms we dive the shoreline and anchorage and finish getting Dark Angel ready for the passage south.
These were our final dives in the Bahamas before sailing south toward the Dominican Republic.
🌊 Sailing Dark Angel follows our real-life journey sailing the Caribbean aboard our Island Spirit catamaran, sharing the challenges, adventures, and everyday moments of liveaboard sailing life.

SDA255 Flying the Spinnaker
here’s something unsettling about seeing a standing wave across the cut you’re about to enter. I start out exploring the shallow southern shoreline of Stocking Island on my paddleboard, soaking up the clear water before we head offshore. Dave shows us how he rigs the spinnaker, and once it’s flyin...
SDA254 Unexpected Shark
Murky water is bad enough when you know there could be something nearby. Finding out later just how curious the local sharks can be doesn’t help. We’re at Sand Dollar Beach in Elizabeth Harbour, where murky water makes my anchor dive a little more uncomfortable than usual. We snorkel what was once...
SDA253 Chasing Coolant
We were running hot in Georgetown, and so were the Volvos. The only thing harder than cooling ourselves off was finding coolant for the engines. We’re anchored in Kidd’s Cove, searching Georgetown for strangely elusive coolant for our long-suffering Volvo Penta diesels. Back aboard Dark Angel, we ...
SDA252 Creepy Cassiopea
There are some things you expect to find while diving the anchor. A sea floor covered in pulsing jellyfish brains isn't one of them. We’re at Sand Dollar Beach, where I make a creepy discovery while diving the anchor in murkier than usual water. Upside-down jellyfish called Cassiopea are ancho...
SDA251 Threading the Needle
A beautiful, easy passage into the Exumas ends with Dark Angel threading her way through shallow water, coral and rocks. We cruise from Long Island to Hog Cay Cut in the Exumas. Dave pulls the new port engine raw water pump to track down an oil leak and discovers the supplied O-ring was oversized, ...
