EP. 27 What it REALLY Takes | SAILING to the ISLANDS of the BAHAMAS

We are ready and have found a weather window! This is it, folks. The beginning of a new chapter. When I bought Seawind 6 years ago, my entire mindset was to make it into a safe, comfortable, and reliable blue-water cruising vessel. Embarking on this adventure away from home was the first step toward becoming comfortable with ocean sailing, and learning to live on the water. Our lifestyle isn’t easy, but it sure is rewarding. Join us as we leave our land behind and arrive in our first new country, the Bahamas!
