We were hosted on Salty Abandon Podcast the other night as we talked about the routes into the Bahamas. There are two sections of the Bahamas that most people will sail to. One: and the easiest is the Abacos, the northern section. Two: the Exumas are more challenging to sail to and are the southern islands. Yes in the middle are the Berry Islands and some will make this area be their exploration. For us, we have made over 10 trips into the Bahamas and we prefer the Exumas and the far out islands like Cat, Conception, Rum, Long Island and Eleuthera.
Looking at the big picture below, you will see route #1 east into the Abacos and then you can see route #2 heading down into the Exumas. We have done both many times. The two pages I published discuss and show each of these routes in details.

You can also watch the video where we present and talk about these routes. Minutes 1-35 minutes is the ABACOS
Minutes 35 onward is about the EXUMAS
The Video is here….thanks to Tinsley!
I am saving all of these posts for my future research.
These are beyond valuable to me.
Thanks for doing this
Thank you Cara….hopefully we will sail some together
