Τι καλύπτει αυτό το βίντεο

A solo sailor transiting the Caribbean from Martinique to Guadeloupe reports frequent encounters with heavy Sargassum weed, which necessitates switching from a Pacific Wind Pilot wind vane to a tiller autopilot during passages.▶ 8:33 The route includes stops in Dominica and the Saints, where the sailor notes that protected anchorages often require moorings rather than anchoring.▶ 9:18 In Dominica, the sailor highlights an efficient customs process in Rousseau that allows for simultaneous check-in and check-out within a 14-day window.▶ 1:41 While anchored in Deshaies, Guadeloupe, the sailor experiences anchor drag due to strong winds and notes the presence of a local botanical garden.▶ 17:36 The sailor uses iSailor for navigation and PredictWind for tracking, though the latter experienced GPS glitches during the trip.▶ 0:20 Heavy Sargassum mats frequently fouled the wind vane rudder, forcing the use of a boat hook for manual clearing or reliance on the tiller pilot in light winds.▶ 12:16 The sailor concludes that anchoring in the Saints and parts of Guadeloupe can be challenging due to shallow sand or restricted mooring-only zones.▶ 10:08
