Bahamas Bound!

Posted: Oct31,2021 | Modified: October 31, 2021 | by Karen

Hampton Town Docks filled with boats ready to leave for the Bahamas

We have been working hard to get Snowcat II back in sailing shape and now we're ready for an adventure…the Bahamas! We have joined the Salty Dawg rally for cruisers and plan to sail south with about 80 other boats headed to the Caribbean and Bahamas.

Follow our passage online!

If you'd like to follow Snowcat II on our passage, here are a few links:

Our Garmin InReach will be tracking us at this link: https://share.garmin.com/NOR9Z

The rally organizers for Salty Dawg are also tracking the fleet.  To access their map and find Snowcat II, go to  https://forecast.predictwind.com/tracking/rally/2021-sdsa-caribbean-rally/
