Sailing Engineless Through Current Cut To Meeks Patch | Sailboat Story 60

Without using our diesel engine, we sail through Current Cut and anchor at Meeks Patch, an island with swimming pigs. Buckle up - this episode has it all... Seasickness, sailing, protected anchorages, uninhabited islands, swimming pigs, snorkeling, and a bright red bikini. ;) We start off by leaving Hatchet Bay with the wind and seas blowing directly into the cut. It was a bumpy ride getting out of the cut, but once we were out, there was definitely no going back. From there, we nurse 2 sick crew members as we make our way to and through Current Cut - we actually sail all the way through the cut against a stiff current! So proud of Tambi for steering our way through as I worked the sails. Pretty cool experience. Then onwards to Royal Island where we wait out a short low coming through. Not too much to do here, but it's a wonderfully protected anchorage - I'd probably rank it as the best overall anchorage for all-round protection in Eleuthera. Finally, we stop at Meek's Patch and play with the pigs for a while. We also do a bit of snorkeling while there. Great little island, but don't tell anybody! We don't want this to become the next Big Majors uber-touristy "swimming" pig attraction. I guess that's about it. Thanks for watching!!
