SDA220 Beating South: Lee Stocking Island to Kidd's Cove Dolphins

We finally get a full day of calm seas and fair winds after the rough stretch, and the dolphins at Kidd's Cove make it feel like Elizabeth Harbour is saying welcome back.

In this episode of Sailing Dark Angel we leave Lee Stocking Island and cruise out the Rat Cay Cut for a full day of beating to Elizabeth Harbour. After several rough days, the calm seas and fair winds feel like a gift all the way south to Kidd's Cove at Georgetown, where a pair of dolphins greet us with playful leaps and we begin provisioning for the trip south to the Dominican Republic.

⚠️ 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:
