Becoming Bahamian
Inagua Life Inagua is a largish island at the bottom of the Bahamas chain, with a small population of approximately 800 people.

1st March 2026 | Odometer: 1673nm | Passage to Bahamas The Dominican Republic was proving to be a rather difficult country to experience by boat, and we had hyped each other up and decided – let’s do a massive crossing to the Bahamas.

Serenity and Shopping
26th February 2026 | Odometer: 1339nm | Dominican Republic Hispaniola is one of the biggest islands along the chain – split between Haiti and the Dominican Republic, given the current situation in Haiti we planned to only visit the northern side of the Dominican Republic before departing. The DR has a totally different feel to…

Feverish Failures and Fatiguing Forms
23rd February 2026 | Odometer: 1310nm | Puerto Rico & Dominican Republic We had a few days before an awesome weather window to make the dreaded Mona Passage to the Dominican Republic.
