To improve safety and clear the stern for fishing lines, Matt mounts the outboard engine on a transom bracket, noting that the current mounting chocks require future modification for proper clearance.9:14 During the crossing, the boat encounters significant wind, allowing for a fast point of sail with a double-reefed headsail.11:45 The crew navigates through heavy seaweed and choppy seas, eventually arriving at a harbor in St. Croix.16:48 Upon arrival, they explore a historic military fort and jailhouse located near the anchorage, which remains open and accessible to the public.23:36 The crew concludes the trip with a visit to a local restaurant, Shoops, noting the boardwalk's lively atmosphere and street performers.28:00
