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

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. ⛵ Live from aboard Salty Abandon 📍 Streaming from Southwest Florida 🕕 6PM Central / 7PM Eastern 🎙️ Clips & Full Episodes here: https://saltypodcastplaylist.saltyabandon.com SALTY ABANDON: Cap'n Tinsley, Orange Beach, AL Oct 2020 to Present: 1998 Island Packet 320 Nov 2015 - Oct 2020: 1988 Island Packet 27 Feb - Nov 2015: 1982 Catalina 25 SALTY PODCAST is LIVE every Wed at 6pm Central and is all about the love of sailing!
