I had to Abandon Ship with my cats in the Bahamas

What started as a normal departure from Little Farmer’s Cay turned into one of the most stressful moments I’ve had on Salty Abandon.

In this video, I share what happened, how local boaters helped save the boat, what broke, and what I learned from the whole ordeal.
