Exploring the Beaches of the Abacos | Sailing on a Whim Ep. 25
On this Episode of Sailing on a Whim, we head south through the Abacos and check out the other side of island life by exploring beaches, spending time with friends on the hook, and reuniting with civilization. We learn that it may be better in the Bahamas but, as they say, it’s gooder in Guana, especially on a Sunday…
This crazy adventure started in early 2018 as we started researching learning how to sail, buying a boat, outfitting her, and how to take off for a life on the open seas. There has been a huge learning curve trying to make all of this happen and we want to share everything we have learned and have some fun along the way.
We are excited (and a little nervous!) to share this journey with you. We hope that you learn a little from our experiences and maybe inspire you to make your own changes to live the life you want.
