Can a CATAMARAN Really SAIL UPWIND?? (Even With HOLES in the SAIL) | Harbors Unknown Ep. 60

We are sailing to the Abacos in the Bahamas! The Abacos are a one hundred twenty-mile chain of islands surrounding the Sea of Abaco, in the northern part of the Bahamas. This area was devastated by Hurricane Dorian in 2019, but we’ve heard they’re recovering quite well and eager for visitors to return. The barrier islands are known for beautiful beaches and stunning reefs and we can’t wait to start exploring. We've got great wind, but it's a bit tricky because it's coming pretty much from where we wanted to go. So we need to sail upwind in the narrow Sea of Abaco in our catamaran. Thankfully our Seawind 1600 has daggerboards so we're able to navigate these waters and make good headway. When we arrived at Green Turtle Cay we were eager to check out the reef on the Atlantic side and see if we could catch some dinner. The reef was absolutely beautiful but we didn't see much in the way of sea life. It looks like we'll need some local knowledge to find some fish to spear.
