A Leopard 50 catamaran cruises the Exuma Cays in the Bahamas, navigating shallow, coral-strewn waters using polarized sunglasses, electronic charts, and visual observation. The crew encounters inconsistent chart accuracy near Ship Channel Cay and relies on visual navigation to avoid coral heads and sandbanks.2:13 While sailing in 17 to 22 knots of wind, the vessel maintains speeds between 5 and 8 knots using a full genoa and a single-reefed mainsail.1:08:40 The crew demonstrates a reefing technique that avoids engine use by turning the boat sharp upwind and using the genoa’s airflow to keep the mainsail luffing while the boom is held to the side.1:05:37 The transit includes stops at Allen Cay, Highborne Cay, Norman’s Cay, and Shroud Cay, where the crew visits the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park.47:03 The passage continues toward Cat Island, with plans to eventually return to Fort Lauderdale via Eleuthera, Nassau, and the Berry Islands.1:33:01
