What this video covers
Supernova, a cruising catamaran, navigates the Grenadines and St. Vincent, encountering crowded anchorages and complex mooring situations. In Bequia, the crew experiences a chaotic anchorage where shifting winds and currents cause nearby vessels to swing unpredictably, forcing multiple boats to run engines to avoid collisions.14:03 While anchored near Young Island, St. Vincent, the crew assists a neighboring catamaran by free-diving to untangle an anchor fouled on a mooring chain.15:25 Later, in a small, surge-prone bay near a Sandals resort, the crew attempts to anchor near local fishermen.18:05 The fishermen leave a boat behind, secured by lines to both shores, which inadvertently traps Supernova when the fishing boat’s underwater anchor line crosses over Supernova’s anchor chain.30:36 The crew resolves the entanglement by boarding the fishing vessel to manually release the fouled line.30:51 The crew also explores a local bat cave, noting that surge conditions and narrow passages make entry hazardous without proper waterproof lighting or protective gear.23:47
