What this video covers

Brett and Jade Evans, currently anchored in St. Martin after a 20-day ocean passage, spent a day exploring the island’s interior and local attractions.0:05 The crew visited Parrotville, a bird sanctuary rebuilt after Hurricane Irma, and hiked the trails at Loterie Farm, where they observed wild green vervet monkeys.7:08 The excursion provided a rare opportunity to use a rental car for a significant grocery haul, which the crew transported back to their vessel by dinghy.17:33 Upon returning to their boat, the couple discovered a three-foot foam fender had been ripped from their dinghy by swell while docked, forcing them to launch a final search mission to recover the lost gear.19:10 The day also included a brief, distressing encounter with a hit-and-run involving a local dog, which the crew attempted to assist before continuing their island exploration.0:56
