Nathan and the his boat, Boys and Girls Club of Canada complete the first of 2 ‘road’ legs of his Bahamas qualifying trip. Now Nathan will prepare his boat, watch the weather and determine the most favourable window for setting off. Of primary concern is getting across the Gulf stream to Bimini. Although a relatively short passage, if the wind is uncooperative, i.e. blowing with any strength from 340 to 90 degrees true, the passage can turn treacherous as the wind whips up a steep, boat-breaking, bone-jarring chop against the strong Gulf stream current. Keep your eye on the weather. Nathan is! More soon…
