Mads and Ava aboard the 1987 Trident Warrior *Athena* navigate the southeastern Bahamas northward, stopping at Hogsty Reef — a rare Atlantic atoll sitting 40 nautical miles from the nearest land with depths dropping to 1,500 meters just outside the reef.4:13 They anchor in 7 meters inside the atoll but find the holding poor near the sand island and ultimately anchor in open water at the center.5:10 Rolliness and a forecast wind increase cut the stay short.5:44 A subsequent anchorage near an abandoned lighthouse is abandoned after a dive reveals the anchor is wedged in dead coral over hard bedrock with no real holding.6:22 They move 8 miles north to Sugar Bay, where a shallow sand bottom sets the hook instantly, and use the calm conditions to clean the hull — about a month's growth, mostly soft — noting the cover coat and a prop-one product on the propeller are performing well.8:27 At Crooked Island they enter a new marina with an unmarked coral-head entrance, navigating with Explorer Charts, Aquamaps, and a masthead camera.9:40 A 140-mile overnight motor north targets Dutton Cut into the Exumas, timing arrival for slack water at 09:04 to avoid the 2-knot current.13:18 Inside the Exumas, anchored in 3 meters of exceptional visibility, Ava introduces an underwater metal detector; the first find is a rusted wire.15:21 The crew plans a final 300-nautical-mile jump to Cape Canaveral before hurricane season.16:03
