A solo sailor transiting from Carriacou, Grenada, to Bequia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, navigates unstable weather during hurricane season by comparing real-time conditions against the Windy app forecast.1:08 The route involves motor-sailing upwind through the lee of islands, where wind funnels create unpredictable gusts.7:15 To maintain a schedule and arrive before dark, the sailor keeps the mainsail reefed and uses the engine to maintain speed against head-on waves, despite wind fluctuations caused by passing squalls.6:41 The sailor identifies incoming squalls by observing white haze and whitecaps on the water, opting to reef the headsail and wait out the heaviest rain from inside the cabin.11:32 The passage highlights the trade-offs of a manual mainsail system versus a roller-furling setup when managing frequent, short-lived weather systems.6:26 The trip concludes with a successful anchorage in Bequia, where the sailor plans to attempt repairs on a faulty autopilot electric module.18:01
