What this video covers

A 40-foot catamaran, Mister Tong, transits from Les Saintes to Terre-de-Bas, Guadeloupe, whilst preparing for a subsequent passage to Dominica.0:06 During the coastal leg, the crew maintains a full mainsail and genoa in 15 knots of wind, sailing at 40 degrees off the apparent wind at speeds of 5 to 6 knots. The vessel anchors in 3.5 metres of water at Terre-de-Bas using 35 metres of chain on a sandy patch. The crew utilises the SailClear website to manage customs declarations for their movement between French territories, noting that digital registration suffices for travel between Guadeloupe and Martinique. Onboard maintenance includes salvaging fibreglass composite materials from a discarded catamaran engine cover found near the anchorage to fabricate custom chandelier supports. The crew also explores local hiking trails near Grand-Anse and conducts snorkelling trips around nearby reefs, noting the presence of sargassum seaweed along the coastline.
