What this video covers

After a 20-day Atlantic crossing, Brett and Jade Evans arrive in St. Martin with their guest, Ayana. The crew manages fuel logistics by transferring diesel from spare jugs into an auxiliary tank to avoid potential contamination of the main fuel supply, a precaution taken because the fuel was sourced from another vessel in Punta Delgada.7:49 Upon arrival, the boat’s depth gauge fails to register, complicating navigation near the bridge and shallow anchorage.23:14 The crew launches their new carbon fiber dinghy, the Yvette, to transport the dogs and gear to shore.23:55 Despite planning to transit a bridge at 8:30 a.m. to reach a specific anchorage, the bridge fails to open as scheduled, forcing the crew to wait.21:10 The passage concludes with the crew successfully anchoring and preparing for Ayana’s departure to visit family.
