The crew of the 45-ft catamaran Supernova sails from St. Anne, Martinique, north along the island’s west coast to St. Pierre.5:14 During the transit, they navigate light winds between the mainland and Diamond Rock, occasionally relying on the engine when wind speeds drop below two knots.5:35 Upon arrival in St. Pierre, they anchor near the town, noting that mooring balls are required for closer proximity.10:46 The crew explores the historical ruins of the town, which was destroyed by a volcanic eruption in 1902, including the remains of a theater, a church, and the prison cell that allegedly held the sole survivor.11:08 They later sail south to Fort de France to drop off guests, practicing a sail-off-anchor maneuver to improve boat handling.23:47 In Fort de France, they secure their dinghy using a stern anchor to prevent it from becoming trapped under the dock’s overhang.29:34 The visit concludes with a tour of Fort St. Louis.31:28
