What this video covers
The crew of the 13-tonne Millennial Falcon relocates from their anchorage to Prickly Bay, Grenada, during a period of COVID-19 lockdown restrictions.1:20 To navigate the passage, the crew departs with one reef in the mainsail as a precaution against unpredictable gusts reaching 25 to 31 knots.3:02 The vessel maintains speeds of 8.3 knots in 15 knots of wind, with the crew noting improved helm balance after adjusting the backstay and forestay tension.8:25 Upon arrival at Prickly Bay, the crew struggles briefly to weigh anchor after it becomes lodged under a large boulder, eventually freeing it by manoeuvring the boat forward.4:25 The transit serves as a test of the vessel's performance and provides a brief reprieve from quarantine, during which the crew also attempts to retrieve parcels from Spice Island Marina and resumes limited shore-based exercise.14:01
