A couple weeks ago, my dad @rustymcc17 and I set out to do our ASA 106 and ASA 114 classes out of Ft Lauderdale. We sailed to the Bimini Islands of the Bahamas, did a bunch of drills (semi-successfully), and sailed back to Ft Lauderdale over the course of a week.
It was very challenging, but a lot of fun! 10/10 would do it again!
Check out the video toward the end to see how much the boat swayed in the gulf stream current + waves! Imagine dealing with that for 12-14 hours 😂
