What this video covers
Cozzy and Mitcho sail their Leopard 40 from Martinique to St. Lucia in 15–25 knots of wind and significant swell, covering the passage in roughly two and a half hours at speeds up to 8 knots.▶ 4:48 Winds accelerate around the headland on approach to Rodney Bay, though the anchorage itself is calm.▶ 6:38 They anchor over a sandy patch in about 4 metres, check the hook by snorkelling, then dinghy ashore to clear customs and immigration on the second floor of the port office.▶ 8:09 Security concerns about theft and violence in St. Lucia — reported as an issue two to five years prior — prompt them to lock the boat fully and hide valuables.▶ 12:07 A local vendor paddles out by boat to sell fresh fruit: mangoes, bananas, banana bread, passion fruit, tomatoes, and cucumber for 60 EC.▶ 9:49 They anchor close to Fort Rodney, visiting the late-1700s British lookout point above Rodney Bay and noting its role in Admiral George Bridges Rodney's intelligence work before the Battle of the Saints.▶ 16:26 The main event is the Gros Islet Friday night street party — running every Friday for over 50 years, free entry, 25 bars within 20 metres, Caribbean street food including spiced rice, macaroni cheese, and barbecue chicken.▶ 19:51 Cozzy and Mitcho return twice, also marking their nine-year anniversary there.▶ 19:08
