The crew of the sailboat *Corail* navigates the Bahamas, managing technical challenges and shallow-water navigation while transiting between anchorages. During a 84.5-nautical-mile passage from Great Inagua, the vessel maintains an average speed of 5.9 knots, though the crew reports frequent issues with a malfunctioning headsail furler and a broken autopilot.14:46 Navigating these waters requires caution, as the crew notes that Navionics charts in the region are frequently inaccurate and outdated.21:02 When anchoring in rocky or coral-heavy bottoms, the crew utilizes crew members in the water to visually verify anchor set and chain clearance, specifically avoiding underwater obstructions that could snag the ground tackle.26:11 During a subsequent 40-nautical-mile leg, the crew encounters 20-knot gusts, necessitating a reef in the genoa to maintain control.17:50 Despite the lack of significant swell, the transition from deep water to shallow banks is abrupt, with depths dropping from over 300 meters to less than 20 meters rapidly.20:10 Visual verification of the seabed remains the most reliable method for ensuring safe anchoring in these conditions.27:02
