What is the THORNY PATH? Routing for Sail, Not Motoring āµ The Foster Journey
March 12, 2023 by The Foster Journey | Language: EN Play Time: 00:05:00 | SAILING YOUTUBERS

What is the Thorny Path? The Thorny Path is a route through the Bahamas near Turks and Caicos, then to the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. It’s a challenging route because of the trade winds, east-to-west currents, and lack of resources in the out islands of the Bahamas. Most sailors choose to motor this path for a few days, but we’re trying to sail the thorny path in the middle of winter. Will this choice be a mistake?
Cheers,
Matt, SV Cadence
