SDA218 Big Majors Balancing Act: Paddleboard, Caves & New Radar Dome
Paddleboarding past limestone caves and coral heads in water so clear every fish shows up. Then a sweet nurse shark circles the boat looking for attention, before we climb the mast for the new radar dome and fire up the chart plotter to see if it works.
In this episode of Sailing Dark Angel I take out my paddleboard to explore the caves and stunning features of the limestone shoreline at Big Majors in the Exumas.
The crystal-clear water reveals vibrant coral and schools of fish gliding below. After we spend time with the shark circling our boat begging for attention, we finally install our new Raymarine radar dome.
⚠️ The lightning strike changed everything on Dark Angel, and we’re still rebuilding piece by piece. If you’d like to support the recovery, our GoFundMe is here:
