Cruising the Exumas in the Bahamas, the crew of the 1987 Trident Warrior sailboat Athena navigates shallow, shifting sandbanks while preparing for the upcoming hurricane season.0:08 Because standard Navionics chart data lacks sufficient accuracy for the region, the crew supplements their primary chart plotter with Explorer charts viewed via the Aqua Map app on mobile devices.7:59 They manually transfer latitude and longitude coordinates from the Explorer charts’ recommended routes into their chart plotter to enable autopilot route-following through narrow, complex channels.10:10 The crew highlights Wadrick Wells Key as a primary destination, noting that mooring balls in the narrow channel require advance reservations during high season.11:48 They also visit Iguana Beach to observe endangered rock iguanas and hike to Boo Boo Hill, where cruisers traditionally leave driftwood offerings marked with their boat names.2:09 The crew emphasizes the necessity of constant communication, using headsets during tight maneuvers to avoid grounding in shallow, current-swept passages.10:53
