Ever wondered what it’s like to sail the Bahamas with sharks and turtles as your crew? Dive into the adventure with Sailing Dark Angel!
In this episode of Sailing Dark Angel, we cruise from Rudder Cut Cay to Big Farmers Cay through a tide-sensitive shallow cut. A barracuda guards my anchor dive, sharks, turtles, and stingrays join my paddleboard exploration, and we uncover a sea turtle trove in Cave Cay.

⚠️ Lightning Strike Update
In real time, we were directly struck by lightning. Navigation systems, running lights, anchor lights, work lights, a large freezer, and even our keel were damaged. We're still facing VAT, duty, exchange rates, customs brokerage, and a costly haul-out for keel repairs in the Dominican Republic.

If you can help, even a share means the world:
