From The Navigator

Before we reach Northeast and Northwest Providence Channel we sail via the Atlantic route north of the southeast portion of the Bahamas Islands, passing San Salvador Island, Cat Island and Eleuthera. Sailing westward through Northwest Providence Channel, staying south of Grand Bahama Island, we head straight to Fort Lauderdale. Before reaching the Straits of Florida, we sail north of Puerto Rico, Haiti, the Dominican Republic and south of Great Inagua. Approaching Cuba on the northeast we transit the Old Bahama Channel, the channel between Cuba and The Great Bahama Bank. After sailing on a northerly course through Santaren Channel, we approach Port Everglades and Fort Lauderdale, Florida from the south.
