In this episode, I’m joined by lifelong sailor Brad Atkins, who calls Charleston, South Carolina home. Brad has spent years sailing back and forth between Charleston and the Abacos, and he brings a wealth of local knowledge to this conversation.

We dive into:

Clearing Customs in the Abacos – what to expect and the best ports of entry.

Recommended Sailing Routes from Charleston to the islands.

Must-See Places of Interest once you arrive, including anchorages and hidden gems.

Tips for navigating the Abacos safely and making the most of your time there.

This is part one of a two-part conversation with Brad. We got cut off by Zoom at the end of this session, but we’ll continue in the next episode with even more details on where to go, what to do, and insider advice for sailors exploring this incredible cruising ground.

If you’ve ever dreamed of taking your boat to the Bahamas or are planning your own trip to the Abacos, you won’t want to miss this one.
