Our Staniel Cay Paddle Adventure, that is out now, is a one-way paddle from Staniel Cay in the Exuma Cays to Barratarre, off the tip of Great Exuma. The total mileage is close to 50 miles. Over the span of a week our paddlers make their way down the cays making pit stops along the way. This trip can definitely be a bit of a challenge when the wind picks up and you are forced to keep a constant paddle so you don't lose ground as you go. The first couple days of their trip they had really great and calm seas to paddle in. The weather has changed a bit and the wind is around 15-17 mph right now. It's not that bad if you're in nice and sheltered areas, but when crossing the open cuts and heading into the wind it can be quite the challenge.
Here's a link to a map that has the typical route for this journey. They spent the night at Lignumvitae Cay last night and are heading for Norman's Pond today, but they aren't quite sure how far they will actually get today.
For any adventure seekers, we have another one of these trips scheduled for August 8th-14th! We also offer shorter distances as well as sailing expeditions. We also offer a trip that includes both, kayaking and sailing: Best of Both Worlds. Just let us know what you're looking for :)
