🎙️ Bahamas Bound... with a Detour ⚓ Update from Salty Abandon, checking in from Steinhatchee, FL — not where I planned to be. My Raymarine Wheel Pilot failed again about 2–3 hours out of Carrabelle, so I hand-steered nearly 10 hours here instead of reaching Tarpon Springs. 😅 Upgrading to something tougher next — let’s talk what happened, what I learned, and what’s next. 🎧 Playlist: saltyabandon.com/SaltyPodcastPlaylist #SaltyAbandon #SaltyPodcast #Sailing #Raymarine #WheelPilot #Carrabelle #Steinhatchee #TarponSprings #BahamasBound

The custom horn (with its own air compressor!) is just one of the many upgrades featured throughout this exceptionally well-maintained vessel. Skipjack is ready to go having been recently hauled and serviced for the season. Bow and stern thrusters makes for easy maneuvering with the twin Mercruiser V-8 engines, and the custom stainless grab rail that runs the length of the full canvas enclosure makes going forward to the bow along the side decks safe and secure. Below decks the sheer size of the interior space and natural light is impressive, including the Sellers self declared “sunken living room” which converts into a large double bunk for guests or crew. Complete with built-in vacuum system and security system with camera monitoring, Skipjack is available to view by appointment.
