Old Bahama Channel
Has anyone done the old Bahama Channel from Florida to St. Thomas during December and January. I've done the Atlantic route before. I'm just curious about the Bahama Channel route.

As I recall my charts, you would be banging dead into a current.

Re: Old Bahama Channel
You are right. There strong currents in that area. Are there any other concerns that I need to be made aware of? Just curious. Thank you for you response .

See “Old Bahama Channel?” ➥ https://www.cruisersforum.com/forums...nnel-5345.html

As Snore notes, the current runs towards Florida.
