What this video covers
The crew of *Wind Therapy* visits Saba, a 5-square-mile island in the Caribbean, to hike its steep terrain and explore local culture.2:19 Because Saba lacks bays and beaches and features deep water, anchoring is difficult; the crew secures a mooring ball on the south side of the island.2:24 They note that the anchorage becomes dangerous and uncomfortable in a swell, requiring a precise weather window for arrival.2:58 During their stay, the crew hikes to the island's highest point and traverses the Sandy Cruz trail, encountering snakes and steep, challenging paths.5:16 They also visit the Harry Luke Johnson Museum and participate in a glass-bead-making workshop at Jo Bean Glass Art.17:26 After experiencing a significant shift in wind and an increasingly rolly anchorage that threatened their stern-to mooring, the crew checks out of the country and departs for St. Eustatius.25:07
