My wife and I are liveaboards and have sailed from Sopers under conditions similar to those anticipated early next week many times. Take GeorgeC1’s advice to heart. Our catamaran has 57HP diesels, and when necessary motor sails very well. We have done as GeorgeC1 suggested many times. We normally hug the coast out of Sopers for a solid 2nm (sometimes a little more), past the bay to port after Frenchman’s Cay. We then have been able to sail to Cooper or beyond with about 3 long tacks. Usually the biggest issue for us isn’t necessarily the wind, but the swell and wave action. It can really be an uncomfortable slog. If it’s too uncomfortable our bailout is the bight on Norman, occasionally Peter. We generally try to sail as much as possible, but I’m not adverse to motor sailing when needed.
