Ce que couvre cette vidéo

Charley and Kayleigh, two years into full-time liveaboard cruising, recount their passage from the Bahamas to the Dominican Republic and their plans to continue down the Caribbean island chain.4:59 Departing from Rum Cay when their 90-day Bahamian visa neared expiration, they crossed overnight and arrived at Luperon, DR, the following morning.4:07 They describe Luperon as a well-protected hurricane hole, with locals crediting Pico Duarte — the Caribbean's highest peak — for deflecting storms north toward Turks and Caicos.21:42 The Bahamas leg, roughly three to four months split between the Abacos, Exumas, and Eleuthera, sharpened their light-air sailing, spinnaker handling, and reefing judgment; their mainsail on their boat Taish tore repeatedly near the reefing points and is being replaced by Precision Sails.17:30 They discuss the Hydrovane self-steering vane at length — nearly buying one before leaving for the Bahamas — and agree it is close to essential for offshore passagemaking, noting its value as a backup rudder and its freedom from electrical dependency.58:28 Post-hurricane-season plans include Puerto Rico, the BVIs, USVIs, and the Leeward and Windward Islands.56:22
