Disaster Strikes Again! Dinghy Wrecked While Steering With Emergency Tiller

Sailing without steering is no joke… In this episode, we limp our way from Black Point to Cambridge Cay in the Exumas using only the emergency tiller after a complete hydraulic failure. Things go from bad to worse when our dinghy tow line snags a mooring ball—ripping a huge hole in it and trapping us in place. With the boat stuck and the situation escalating, a kind fellow cruiser named Julio comes to our rescue.

After securing the boat, I do my best to patch the damaged dinghy and we head out to one of the top snorkeling spots in the Bahamas—The Aquarium—where the underwater life is unreal. Later, we explore the island on foot… but our dog decides to bring us an unexpected “souvenir” from the trail: a dead rat.

Life at sea is never boring. Come along for the chaos, the beauty, and the unexpected.
