Sailing Little Bahama Bank | Freeport to Great Sale Cay [Ep 166]

Our sail from Freeport started off with surfing down some 6-7 foot steep waves which Cory has a blast doing. On the other hand I was feeding the fish. Fortunately we found shelter at Ginn Sur Mer near West End and along with SV Spirit Bird and SV Turned Out we dropped anchor. The following day despite the strong 25-30 knots Easterly wind we left our anchorage unaccompanied this time. As we rounded West End on Great Bahama Island we realized that the waves wouldn't be too bad. It was all about timing with high tide to navigate the shallow Indian Cut. This was our shortcut to the Little Bahama Bank which we had to cross to reach the Abacos. East winds made for an absurd amount of tacks and extra Nautical miles covered because that's exactly where we needed to go. We ended up setting anchor by Mangrove Cay for one night. The next day we stopped at Great Sale Cay and enjoyed it to ourselves.
