On this episode of Yard 2 Yacht:

The Current Cut is a narrow channel located in the Bahamas. The pointed tips of Eleuthera and the adjacent Current Island are only about 90-meters apart. This meeting of the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea is treacherous for boaters who can be swept onto the rocks by the powerful current running between the deep ocean and the shallow sea. Most boats will only attempt this crossing during the very brief slack tide, when there is no movement of water in either direction. The surging current met us head-on as we approached Current Cut in very rough Atlantic seas. We held our breath as we attempted to cross the raging water.
