What this video covers

Brittany and Jeremiah prepare for an 80-nautical-mile passage from West End to the Berry Islands in the Bahamas. Using PredictWind, Jeremiah forecasts 11-knot average winds with gusts up to 20 knots and seas under three feet. The couple plans a 0530 departure to navigate behind a band of thunderstorm activity, noting that CAPE values indicate potential for squalls. The crew departs the marina in the dark, experiencing difficulty maneuvering while pinned to the dock and navigating the channel. They intended to sail with a buddy boat, but the other vessel failed to depart as scheduled, leaving the couple to make the passage alone. The crew manages the transit while caring for their infant, dealing with fatigue and the challenges of maintaining a routine with a baby on board. The passage concludes with the boat reaching the Berry Islands.
