After resupplying in Georgetown, Bahamas, the crew of a cruising sailboat joins a three-boat flotilla with *Sailing Ferdinand* and *Wanderling* to navigate the Exumas.11:07 The group coordinates movements via a designated VHF radio channel, traveling in a column through shallow, two-meter-deep waters.12:55 During a 17-mile passage toward Pig Beach, the crew deploys a small, donated spinnaker for the first time in light 10-to-15-knot winds on a broad reach.11:43 The vessel maintains a draft of 1.8 meters, relying on the deeper-draft boats in the flotilla to scout the shallow channels.13:15 Upon arrival at Pig Beach, the crew uses their dinghy to reach the shore, where they encounter a population of feral, swimming pigs.19:24 The group experiences minimal tourist traffic at the site.22:32 The passage demonstrates the logistical benefits of buddy-boating for social support and shared exploration in remote island chains.
