What is the THORNY PATH? Routing for Sail, Not Motoring ⛵ The Foster Journey

What is the Thorny Path? The Thorny Path is a route through the Bahamas near Turks and Caicos, then to the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. It's a challenging route because of the trade winds, east-to-west currents, and lack of resources in the out islands of the Bahamas. Most sailors choose to motor this path for a few days, but we're trying to sail the thorny path in the middle of winter. Will this choice be a mistake?

Cheers,

WHO ARE WE?
We're the Fosters, and we've been aboard our sailboat since 2020. In 2021, we sailed away from Texas traveled the US East Coast, and now living in the islands on a sailboat.

We're on a journey to minimize our life, learn to live on a sailboat, and travel the oceans.
