Salty Podcast #80 | Bahamas Rewind: Weather & Routing for Sailing

Thu, 13 Nov 2025 01:14:31 +0000

As I get closer to the Bahamas, it’s time to revisit some of the best insights from our friends aboard SV Island Spirit. We’re breaking down weather patterns, real-time routing, and the strategies that make cruising through the islands smoother — and safer.

From PredictWind planning to reading fronts and finding that perfect weather window, we’re fine-tuning it all before setting sail. If you’ve ever dreamed about heading to the Bahamas under your own canvas, this episode will get you ready for it.
