Making the crossing between Florida and the Bahamas is not much of an accomplishment any more, especially in the summer. That’s when the wind blows pretty steadily out of the south, a situation that fails to rile the Gulf Stream even a little bit. So during this time of year all manner of craft large and small—sometimes very small—make the roughly 50-mile trip without so much as a spilled Kalik. Of course, for a powerboat, it’s especially easy. For a sailboat, not so much. But how about for a human-powered boat? A paddleboat?
