What this video covers
James and Natalie, sailing the 40-ft catamaran Zephyr, relocate from a rolly anchorage in Bequia after witnessing the local humpback whale hunt. To recover from the experience, they tour the Firefly plantation with a guide named Ezra, sampling local fruits including sugar cane, guava, jujube, and damsel. The crew later snorkels at Devil’s Bridge with friends from the vessel Northern Shadow and participates in a night dive.
Customs officials in Bequia deny the delivery of a gift package containing 12 liters of coconut milk sent by a follower, demanding an import duty that exceeds the value of the product. The crew declines the shipment and departs the island. They later join the crew of the Turkish vessel Merjan for a cinema night featuring the film *Weekend Sailor* and Turkish coffee. Before departing Bequia, James performs a reefed mainsail set while Natalie prepares to cut his hair.
