From Rum Cay to Cat Island, Bahamas on Mirage | Solo Sailing 70 Miles, Big Waves and Fast Cruising

In this episode of Sailing Mirage, I continue exploring the incredible islands of the Bahamas. This time I make a 70 nautical mile solo passage from Rum Cay to Cat Island. As usual, I’m sailing alone aboard Mirage, so the day starts early to catch the tide and strong morning breeze. Midway through the voyage, after clearing Conception Island, the ocean changes character. Long rolling Atlantic swells begin to build — tall enough that at one point a massive cruise ship completely disappears behind the waves, which was pretty funny to watch. Aside from the big ocean swell, the passage turns into a fast and smooth sail. Another beautiful day on the water, surrounded by the deep blues and turquoise waters that make the Bahamas so special. Join me aboard Mirage for another day of solo sailing, open ocean, and island exploration. ⛵ Boat: Amel 50 – Mirage 🌊 Passage: Rum Cay → Cat Island (70 NM) 👤 Crew: Solo If you enjoy sailing, ocean passages, and the beauty of the Bahamas, you’re in the right place. #sailing #bahamas #solosailing #sailinglife #catisland #amel50 #sailingmirage
