What this video covers

A couple sailing south through the Caribbean from Martinique to Carriacou documents a three-week transit through the Grenadines, including stops in St. Lucia, St. Vincent, Bequia, and Canouan. The crew manages a 45-mile passage from St. Lucia to St. Vincent in 18–20 knot easterly winds, utilizing a third reef in the mainsail paired with a small headsail to maintain control.7:00 They navigate the leeward side of St. Vincent under motor-sail before continuing to Bequia and Canouan, where they anchor in Charleston Bay.20:10 To manage laundry costs, the crew uses a portable, 230-volt One Concept washing machine powered by an inverter, which requires manual water heating.16:27 The transit concludes at Frigate Island in the Tobago Keys, where the crew prepares for a scheduled haul-out in Carriacou.25:23 Practical experience confirms that a third reef provides better balance and stability than a second reef when sailing in 20-knot winds with a small headsail.9:12
