What this video covers

The crew of the 45-foot catamaran Supernova explores several anchorages in the British Virgin Islands, including Brewers Bay, Sandy Cay, Sandy Spit, and Jost Van Dyke.14:41 To minimize environmental impact and avoid crowded anchorages, the crew anchors the main vessel in deeper sand and uses electric underwater scooters to reach shallow beaches and reefs.3:30 They navigate around coral heads by checking satellite charts and cruising guides before dropping anchor.2:43 During the off-season, many local establishments like Foxy's Taboo and B-Line are closed, resulting in quiet anchorages and empty mooring fields.11:15 The crew also visits the Bubbly Pool on Jost Van Dyke, noting that the intensity of the surf depends on the presence of a north swell.11:54 After spending the night, they reposition Supernova closer to Sandy Spit to capture drone footage of the vessel against the island’s landscape.18:26
