Sailing the Bahamas offers two primary route options: the Atlantic-facing Sound side or the protected Bank side.4:13 The Sound side provides deep water and better fishing for species like Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, and Tuna, but exposes the vessel to larger sea states.4:54 The Bank side features shallow water—typically 20 feet or less—and calmer conditions, as the islands block the Atlantic swell.4:28 Sailors choose between these routes based on wind speed and fishing goals; winds exceeding 20 knots generally favor the Bank side.5:12 During a passage in the Exuma Island chain, the crew encountered inaccurate wind forecasts, forcing them to pinch at 40 to 50 degrees in 20 knots of apparent wind.11:35 The route required a final two-hour motor through a shallow cut where tacking was not possible.12:25 The crew also utilizes a custom anchor bridle rigged to a cleat and a bobstay brace, which transfers the load away from the windlass and bowsprit.16:34
