SDA215 Beating, Boat Work & a Surprise Interview

Sometimes you just need a breather. We paused at Black Point for a Practical Sailor interview, then pushed on to Big Farmers to tackle overdue cleaning and soak up some peace. In this episode of Sailing Dark Angel we beat our way down toward Big Farmers Cay, with a stop in Black Point where Tim from Practical Sailor sat us down to talk about the lightning strike, life in the Bahamas, and this whole crazy journey. Once we made it south it was back to cleaning and repairs, and I slipped in for a dive with a stand-offish stingray before settling into the beauty around us.
