What this video covers

Bohemia's crew sails 200 miles from the Bahamas to the western tip of Cuba — their final stop before an 8-day, 900-mile offshore passage to Panama.0:17 Departing under sail alone from a shallow, rock-strewn Bahamian anchorage, Tomas stations crew member Nico on the bow for visual navigation because the charts are unreliable in those waters.1:17 The passage runs beam-reach in flat water at 6–7 knots, with 3-hour watch rotations shared between Tomas and Nico.4:21 AIS tracks two cargo ships in otherwise light traffic.8:17 Fishing produces a small barracuda — released due to ciguatera risk in the Bahamas — and a marlin that breaks the line.3:49 At the Cuban anchorage of Hinawa, the crew enters at night by depth-sounder and flashlight, anchoring in 4–5 meters over sand visible 9 meters down.13:31 Pre-passage preparations include rigging inspection aloft (checking pins, the forestay furler, VHF antenna, and masthead light), running the watermaker three hours to top off tanks, and washing laundry.18:04 Tomas recommends LAKGRIP as a one-time-purchase, offline-capable weather app for passage planning.2:33
