SDA161 The Far Side of Thomas Cay
In this episode of Sailing Dark Angel we venture to the far side of Thomas Cay in the Exumas, trekking through palms, over jagged limestone, uphill and down, slogging through the wet sand, over the slippery cliffs and more, in search of the perfect picnic spot. Was it worth the challenging Bahamas hike?
